DEAR GOVERNMENT: PLEASE LEARN FROM ZACCHEUS.
Dean Tony La Vina of ADMU guested at ABS-CBN this morning to discuss the so-called "presidential pork" (whether it's a misnomer, etc., isn't what caught my attention). Their conversation subsequently veered towards PDAF, and the attendant tax-payers' ire over its abuse. And one idea he posited I think cuts into the heart of the PDAF's matter, I think more significantly than other considerations: That we MUSN'T FORGET that the BIGGEST TAXPAYERS of this country are our POVERTY-STRICKEN MASSES. Thus in effect, though we, withheld-tax-payers, have all the right to be so angry with our hard-earned taxes being absconded by PDAFiles, we should also realize that the MOST ABUSED by the PDAFiles actually are THE POVERTY-STRICKEN MASSES. Thus, if indeed our government would want to make amends, redeem itself out of this PDAF mire, it MUST IMMEDIATELY, "ORA MISMO!" (not in 2015 as Sec. Butch Abad says) CHANNEL the PDAF budget to SOCIAL SERVICES which will CONCRETELY BENEFIT out BIGGEST TAXPAYERS who were the REAL VICTIMS OF THE PDAF COSA NOSTRA. The present government shouldn't waste time to do what Zaccheus did upon realizing that as a corrupt tax collector he also unlawfully stole from his people: RETURN TO THE PEOPLE EVERYTHING HE STOLE FROM THEM, and EVEN GAVE THEM DOUBLE IN RETURN. Dear Government: Please learn From Zaccheus.
