Slashed funds from government workers, channelled to pork barrel


“The Senate slashed funding for the benefits of teachers, health workers, and government employees, only to funnel those cuts into a massive slush fund for local patronage. This is classic bureaucrat capitalism—robbing the workers to feed the political machinery of local dynasties.” — ACT Teachers Party Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
