MISPLACED GENEROSITY FROM THE SENATE PRESIDENT AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

OUR VERY GENEROUS SENATE PRESIDENT AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

For Christmas....the Senate President gave 1.6 miliion pesos each to 18 senators and 250 thousand each to another 4 senators....The Speaker of Congress gave 500 thousand to all the congressmen......such generosity!!!

Sayang....one could wish that said generosity had been better channeled esp. in a country with 80% or more of the people living below poverty....I can't even describe what that means!




Christmas parties for government agencies were cancelled  and the bonuses of government employees were slashed to half...so that the money can be sent to the victims of Typhoon Pablo...they don't earn that much and yet their bonuses were slashed to half....pero the senators get , again, 1.6 million and the congressmen get 500 thousand.

Meron pang congressman who had the gall the say...that the money was theirs and that it was their right!!!....Silence would've been the best answer here...but here you see the mind frame of these people.....

They campaign for votes...and they tell us that they will sacrifice everything for us and for our family...then now...they tell us, with wanton arrogance that they deserve 500 thousand....nasan na yung promise of sacrifice and selfless service during the campaigns???

Here's what each senator gets---- 200 million pork barrel each year....2.2 million each month for salaries of their staff and office rentals....60 thousand a month for each committee chairmanship....75 thousand a month as salary....500 thousand a year travel allowance...kulang pa ba ito????

Each congressman gets 70 million in pork barrels....tapos magpapagawa lang ng "waiting shed" in their districts....with their names and even their faces glued to the cheap infrastructures.

What truly exasperates me....is that looking at the surveys....the same names come up for the Senatorial race....maybe not the same person...but the same ancestry!

Nakakapanghina!

Well....that is why I only put my trust, and most esp. my faith in my Lord.....not in these self-proclaimed messiahs....
The Lord also asks us to trust HIM...to believe in Him.....Jesus did sacrifice and die for us....and He has never failed us and will never fail us!

God bless the Philippines!
God bless all of us!
