THE Kilusang Mayo Uno said President Aquino’s announcement on the pork barrel system today has “damage control” written all over it.
Elmer “Bong” Labog, KMU chairperson said the Filipino workers and people will not be fooled!
Aquino is clearly trying to deceive the public and undermine the August 26 protest and succeeding protests, Labog said.
He said it is time to abolish the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) in the same breath that he defends the pork barrel system and proposes a supposedly new system of legalized corruption which he will monopolize.
Labog said the Filipino workers and people have more reason to join the August 26 protest and succeeding protests.
“Not only is Aquino trying to deodorize the corrupt pork barrel system and defend his huge share of pork barrel funds, he is trying to deceive the people on an issue of national importance,” Labog said.
With his announcement today, Aquino has again exposed his “Daang Matuwid” as a mere campaign slogan aimed at covering up the worsening corruption in government, Labog said.
