'I'M NOT A THIEF.' President Aquino defends his administration's government spending mechanism in a televised address on October 30
In a 10-minute speech on Wednesday, October 30, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III reiterated past explanations by him and his Cabinet officials on the legality of the Disbursement Allocation Program (DAP) and the necessity of his office having discretionary funds for emergency purposes. Aquino urged Filipinos not to be distracted from what he said was the real issue: the alleged misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of senators and congressmen. Critics have come out, noting that the the issue is whether the DAP is constitutional or not, a case for the Supreme Court to decide.
