[SIZE="4"]GUSTO KONG MAGING SENADOR NG PILIPINAS

ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR![/SIZE]

Miriam Defensor Santiago was featured in Correspondents last week.


Maganda rin naman ang naidudulot ng pagiging prangka ni Senador Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Ayon kay Santiago , marami ang tumatakbong Senador dahil sa laki ng budget na ibinibigay sa kanila kada buwan(kasama na siya)


Lumalabas na ang P35,000 suweldo nila kada buwan ay pakitang-tao lang sa milyun-milyong budget ng bawat senador..... Kada buwan ay may Fixed Monthly Budget ang bawat Senador ng humigit-kumulang P2 Milyon.

Sa opisina pa lang nila ay humigit-kumulang P500,000 ang budget nila sa Maintenance and Operating Expenses (Rental, Utilities, Supplies at Domestic Travels) at P500,000 para sa Staff at Personal expenses.

Kaya para makatipid ang ibang Senador, kaunti lang ang staff na kinukuha nila. Nagtataka pa kayo kung bakit mayroong mga Ghost Employee?


Bukod diyan, may P760,000 allowance pa sila kada buwan para naman sa Foreign Travel..

At ang masakit pa nito, hindi na kailngan i-liquidate ang mga resibo ng mga gastusin 'yan kundi Certification lang ang Requirement.


Heto pa, lahat sila ay Chairman ng mg Komite sa Senado. Ang Committee Chairman ay tumatanggap din ng budget na sinlaki ng tinatanggap ng mga Senador na humigit-kumulang P1 Milyon din!

Hindi sila mawawalan ng Komite dahil 24 lang ang ating mga Senador at 37 naman ang Committee sa Senado. There's food for everybody 'ika nga! Lumalabas na doble ang kanilang benepesiyo at kita kapag sila ay nabiyayaan ng Committee Chairmanship.

Sa P200 milyon na Budget para sa Pork Barrel ng mga Senador bawat taon, awtomatikong may 10% na S.O.P. o kita ng Senador na P20 milyon. Ito ang porsiyento na ibinibigay ng mga kontratista sa mga Senador na nagbibigay sa kanila ng mga Infrastructure at Livelihood Project.

Bago matapos ang termino ng isang Senador, kumita na siya ng P100 milyon sa Pork Barrel pa lang. Yung ibang Senador mas gahaman, hindi lang 10% kundi 20 - 30% ang komisyon hinihingi sa mga kontratista.


Pansinin niyo na lang ang pagbabago ng buhay ng ilan sa ating mga Senador simula nang manungkulan sa puwesto. Kung dati ay simple lang ang kanilang pamumuhay ngayon ay nakatira na sila sa mga eksklusibong subdivision, maraming bahay sa Pilipinas at abroad at mahigit lima ang sasakyan.


Ngayon nagtataka pa kayo kung bakit gumagastos ng daan-daang milyong piso ang mga Senador sa kampanya para sa isang posisyon na P35,000 lang ang suweldo kada buwan? Bawing-bawi pala ang gastos kapag naupo na!


ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR! ! !

One of the reasons why the Philippines will never, ever get off the ground...... ayon..... . kaya talagang mahirap ng umasenso ang bayan nating Pilipinas - yung mismo nilang gobierno ninanakawan and kanilang kapuwa Filipino at hindi pa iyan..... hindi pa sila nagbabayad ng buwis sa bansa - kaya lahat ng kalyehon lubak-lubak at masyadong madumi at mababaho!!! Hindi sila nahiya sa kanilang nakikita at makapal ang pagmumukha nila. Dapat sa kanila pumunta lahat ng mahihirap.

True Whistleblowers - this is what our country needs.If there are no whistleblowers the country will never ever prosper and will just sit in the sidelines watching with envy the prosperity of the other southeast asian countries - look at Vietnam now, much more progressive.. ......while the rest of the new breed of filipinas are just maids - the present level of education has also deteriorated in our country - whether it be Ateneo, UP, La Salle - they could not compete anymore - they do not know how to use their education to better up their poor country, they prefer to steal and not assist in the path of prosperity for their country - they lack human factor and social conscience and no social responsibility. ....the result of a poor level of education. so wake up, you filipinos paying your taxes there, stop defending your corrupt masters and do something!!! !! we all feel so sorry for you.....

Kayo po diyan nasa Middle East na mga OFW, gumising na po tayo. Panahon na.

Yes I agree with that email you received, I am also a fellow OFW, I work hard for my family, I sacrifice being away from my loveones. My tears, my sweat and the blood earned money I have to send just to give my kids and my wife a little bit of comfort. But still I cannot see any improvement in our economy instead prices are going up basic commodities are starting to be unreachable especially for our fellow kababayan who works here locally receiving a minimum pay. For us OFW who earned dollar it should be an advantage but its not. Exchange rate goes down a dollar to a peso and we are expecting that prices should also go down at least to balance whatever lost we received but turnout the other way around. So now the so called hero of this generation, yes indeed by name we are hero, are suffering more and more and still a lot from a far out there being abused by there employers ready to sacrifice for there beloved families and country. And now 2010 election is fast approaching alot were expecting for a change like Obama's motto CHANGE. I hope there will be, but I doubt it unless those corrupt politicians is still out there collecting whatever they have not labour of, our poor country will not be able to make any difference.
