The collected Litany of lies of PNoy Aquino government:

I have no other motives but only good intentions to remind our leaders of their programs and promises to fulfill for the benefits and welfare of the public.
 
Inconsistencies and lies:
 
1. Rice self-sufficiency is unimportant, Malacañang now says. That wasn’t what it said in 2010, when it promised self-sufficiency by 2013..

2. Freedom of information is not a priority, Malacañang now snorts. That wasn’t what it said in 2010, in contemplating a Truth Commission to dig up fund anomalies of past administrations.

3. No to the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill, no to constitutional economic reforms, Malacañang now insists. That wasn’t what it said in the State of the Nation, July 2013. Back then it shouted, “There’s no stopping change,” this is may be the only truth, their minds always changed.

4.  “The President trusts him,” Malacañang declares in defense of any appointee linked to anomalies. That wasn’t what it promised in 2010 with the slogan “Kung walang korap, walang mahirap.”

5. “We won’t listen anymore to criticisms on radio-TV,” Malacañang now sneers. That wasn’t what it assured in June 2010, in promising a responsive, responsible government. By Jarius Bondoc Phil. Star.

President Benigno Aquino III allocated P2 billion through the Disbursement Acceleration Program for national road projects in his home province of Tarlac. Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said the DAP-funded project was endorsed by Budget Secretary Florencio Abad in a memo dated June 25, 2012 ,and was eventually approved by Aquino.A check with the DBM confirmed the DAP-funded project, which was described in Abad’s memo as meant to “complete the rehabilitation and paving of all arterial and secondary national roads and bridges in the province of Tarlac. No other lucky province received such an allotment for that year based on the memo,This is among the many issues we are raising versus the DAP. How did they identify which project to prioritize? Is it because these were recommended by lawmakers? The government should explain this to the people,” Reyes added.

Secretary of Communication Herminio Coloma said there was nothing wrong if DAP funds went to projects in Aquino’s home province. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Residents of Tarlac also pay taxes”.

In an interview in Bali, Indonesia last October, the President admitted that some projects earmarked to receive DAP funds seemed anomalous.

Then Presidential Communications Development Secretary Ramon Carandang said this was what prompted the Palace to suspend the DAP releases to lawmakers sometime before July 2013, coinciding with the suspension of the release of the second semester pork barrel. “I think it’s very clear that there is a problem. The Commission on Audit is looking into it,” Carandang said at the time.

President BS Aquino defended DAP anew:

He defended the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) anew, saying that it should not be likened to the much maligned Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).

Speaking before the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP), Aquino said that DAP was launched by his administration as a stimulus program to induce spending. Really not pork barrel?

He said that funds under the DAP went to projects that benefited the people such as other road projects, health and education programs for the poor, the program to relocate informal settlers, TESDA’s training for work scholarship program, and sitio electrification program, among others. Really not to bribe the Solons?

We can't just let the President exercise its full discretion on what to do and how to spend, and empower him to realign, disapprove or withhold huge amounts and practically entrust him to decide where all the money would go. This exercise is vested in congress and any disbursement is unconstitutional if it is without legislative appropriation. Hence this calls for the abolition of the pork barrel of the President.

Sec. Florencio Abad denied that the additional lump sum given to Congressmen and senators are  additional PDAF but confirmed it was a "DAP from savings". Unlike the creation of the PDAF, DAP is worse than the PDAF, at least the PDAF is authorized by Congress but the DAP was created only by the DBM Secretary Florencio Abad from the impounded appropriations, and approved by President BS Aquino sans the authority of Congress. The Budget Department has no business issuing funds from the DAP because it cannot do so without a supporting law. DAP involves money so to disburse that, they must have the authority. Nowhere in any of our laws or the GAA would it appear that DAP was created at all with the sanction and support of Congress. Even the senators who appropriate the money didn’t know about it, until Sen. Jinggoy Estrada’s revelation that each senator who voted to convict Corona received P50 million in extra funding which later on admitted by the Palace coming from the DAP, except Senators Enrile, Drilon and Escudero who received more than 50 million each.

Kayo ang boss ko:

Filipinos have great hope when P-Noy administration started out with a very promising slogan recognizing the people as his boss but sad to say it remains to be a promising  slogan which seems to be complying with this principle more in words than in deeds. It is really very disgusting that our President has been reporting to his “boss”, something different from what is actually happening or being done by his administration especially in connection with the terrible disasters hitting the central Visayas. The people are indeed quite disappointed with his stance and have started to lose trust and confidence in him.

Janet Napoles:

PNoy said “I don't remember her… She wasn't familiar whatsoever. You know when I saw her when she came to the palace, I was trying to look at her and I don't remember her. I am normally very good with faces baka sometimes, ano, but I'm poor with names…I can't even say I ever said 'hi' to her. I tried to search my mind if I ever came across her or even heard of her name; and I hope I am not turning senile but I don't recall any incident.” Napoles sent a letter to the President only last April 17th seeking the president's help. Janet Lim wouldn't dare write the president unless they had something going on between them. Rumor has it that Napoles was one of the biggest campaign contributors to the Liberal Party's campaign kitty.

On DAP and PDAF:

The Palace explained Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) was not a form of pork barrel nor incentive to lawmakers who voted to convict former chief justice Renato Corona, and that DAP funds were released to fund projects upon the request of the senators, but some senators denied having asked for the DAP. The release of 2013 DAP funds for lawmakers were suspended and PNoy announced the abolition of the PDAF following controversies on the alleged misuse of pork barrel funds, but in reality the Solicitor General representing the government file the motion in SC to lift the TRO of the PDAF. In their interpretation the President is authorized by the constitution to realign savings. But the government has been converting funds into pork barrel while the taxpayers continue to toil for the lawmakers to spend around like it was their money. They have no right to convert taxpayers’ money into pork barrel,” “The job of the Executive is only to propose but not to dispose of the funds. The President cannot realign projects that did not pass scrutiny of Congress. The DAP did not pass congressional scrutiny. The President has usurped Congress’ power of the purse,”"The DAP funds were in the budget item. Congress approved them under the General Appropriations Act. So whatever savings generated from the approved budget items, the Executive or even the President, had no business realigning the money. The President realigned the funds, gave them away to lawmakers and these lawmakers received them and this became pork barrel. Anything that is endorsed by the lawmakers for projects is pork barrel,” Briones said.
 
DAP was created and meant to “accelerate developments” to counter the adverse impact of “underspending.” "If Abad and Drilon wanted acceleration, the moment the savings were generated, these should have been spent on projects that could accelerate development so that should have been in January 2012. So what took them so long that they distributed the funds only between August and December of 2012?” Besides the so called “savings” is not the real savings contemplated and defined as to be the remainder of the appropriated fund upon completion of the projects not derived from the impounded fund of the unfinished projects.  "What the DBM calls “savings” are actually funds from discontinued projects. That is clearly misidentification. Allocations for discontinued projects should revert to the general fund, to be allocated at a later time by Congress, properly exercising its power over the purse." Alex Magno said.

Self-proclaimed preparedness and zero casualty:

 The declarations of PNoy bragging his administration’s preparedness when the storm was still monitored to be approaching. He said he had 30 planes and 20 ships ready for any eventualities. It disappeared in the Yolanda aftermath.The NDRRMC failed in its mandate. P-Noy may have boasted on nationwide TV on Nov. 7 that his government was prepared for this disaster…but in truth, they fell flat on their faces. Worse of all, they passed the buck to the local government units (LGU) instead of having the humility to admit their own lapses.  Not only that our government has shown its incapability to handle responsibilities during catastrophes but the world draw sympathy to the victims and exposed the ghoulish and questionable approach of our national leaders in the hard hit areas of the super typhoon.  Thank you, Anderson Hayes Cooper, for drawing the world's sympathy to the storm victims and described the situation as "worse than hell", exposed our government's inept handling of the tragedy and our local yellow media's political connivance...

Rice self-sufficiency:

Another area in which the administration has overstated its case has been its projections about rice self-sufficiency, even in the face of rising prices for the grain and reports of rampant smuggling. The reality finally sank in, and the Agriculture secretary was forced to admit that the administration would not be able to make good its boast after all. In his statement, the secretary blamed the rains for missing his target—when what he should have done, as any prudent planner would do, was to factor in the seasonal storms into his rosy projections in the first place.
