I disagree. I think umpa lumpas are the root of all evil.

I beg to disagree..

Pork Barrel was made with good intentions but It is the one who holds it has the last decision. But as they say, some of the worst things that could happen came up with the best intentions..

If I'm not mistaken, congressmen recieves 40 Million annually and senators receives 70 Million annually. Now I'm not quite sure why the senators recieves a quite large amount when in fact they don't represent anywhere..

I likened the Pork Barrel as a machete, if you give it to someone with good intentions, he'll use it to fetch firewood or anything good, but give it to someone who has an evil mind, he'll use it to kill someone or in any way wicked.

The point is, if only filipino's vote for the right person who can spend that amount of money for the right things then everything would be fine.

YES thats true, but pork barrel funds should be soley in the hands of the executive, president,governor,mayors,baragay captains
and make them sole responsible in any unlawfully disbursment of funds. ALL gov agencies will just serve as pure advisory to the executive approvement and releasing of funds will be up to them.

legislators, senators,congressman,councilors will be bar top notchers brainy job capable of making laws and local ordinaces do you really like highschool drop outs in the senate for example err like senator lito lapid and revilla?
