The long history of Pork barrel in the Philippines show that this system is so deep-rooted in all layers of our society from the Palace to baranggays and sitios. And our society is based on the philosophy "if you are that smart, then you must be rich" and most traditional politicians (trapos) whose creed is "I spent money to get elected, what do I care if my best friend die of hunger if I can gain from It?".
That is the reality, and the good Senator, with all his good intentions, seems to be out of touch with reality. The rich and the trapos will tag him red and get him killed at the first opportunity. Reforming this source of milk and honey wealth source is like cutting the head of a patient with advanced metastasied brain cancer to save him.
To really cure this sore, it has to be removed completely. Pork is sinonymous to corruption and no amount of reforms can really exorcize the evil from it.
The message is : let us all put our feet on the ground. Be in touch with reality and face the problem pragmatically. Take away this piobra and junk it it to hell where it belongs. Reforming it is like curing a sore by killing the pain and leaving the symptms untouched.
JUNK THE PORK BARREL !!!
