On my recent TV interview with Davao City’s Congressman
Karlo Alexei Nograles, Chairman of the powerful Appropriation Committee, he
told me that congressmen don’t identify the recipients of their projects in
their district because it was unlawful.
I disagreed.
I told Nograles, who is rumored to have a moist eye for the
Senate, that in my province even the losing bidders get three percent of the
allocated funds from the government that is shelled out to them by the winning
bidder after the moro-moro or for show’s tender in mockery of
the Procurement Law.

I said I was thankful between the wrangling of House Speaker
Pantaleon Alvarez and his erstwhile best friend Davao del Norte Rep. Tony Boy
Floreindo many Filipinos learned that their conflict did not zero on the “mani’
(mistresses’ clits to put humor on the pussy, er, poser)” but real people’s
“money” that Alvarez muscled out to deprive Floreindo, Rep. Imelda Marcos, and
22 opposition congressmen.
