During his speech on Monday, President Aquino III, defends the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) and slams the Supreme Court for declaring that DAP is unconstitutional.
He says “My message to the Supreme Court: We do not want two equal branches of government to go head to head, needing a third branch to step in to intervene. We find it difficult to understand your decision,” he said in a televised nationwide address.
"You had done something similar in the past, and you tried to do it again; there are even those of the opinion that what you attempted to commit was far graver."
He mentioned about the recent typhoon happened to our country that SC orders to bring back. He insisted the government never violated the law.
“In the system the Supreme Court is ordering us to bring back, it might take two more rainy seasons before we are able to relocate our countrymen. Let us remember: about twenty typhoons come our way each year. Is it right to ask those living in hazardous areas to just leave everything to prayer?” he said.
He says DAP is legal. On July 14 President Aquino speak about his government’s controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program in a national broadcast. He says 'DAP is not a project—it is an efficient way of spending the budget; it follows the law and adheres to the mandate granted to the Executive Branch. We did this to properly allocate funds, and by so doing maximize the benefits that the people may receive.'
Do you think PDAF is a scam while DAP is not?
“DAP is not a project—it is an efficient way of spending the budget; it follows the law and adheres to the mandate granted to the Executive Branch. We did this to properly allocate funds, and by so doing maximize the benefits that the people may receive,” President Aquino said.
No matter how many times Aquino tries to say otherwise, PDAF and DAP are basically the same thing.
