Not only did President Aquino initially ignore the cries of the people for an end to Pork Barrel Politics, particularly presidential Pork Barrel, he deflected attention towards the Napoles Pork Barrel Scam and projected himself as ferreting out corruption and bad practices.

Have you ever asked yourself…why Filipinos today are so passive?

The alleged Janet Napoles Lim scam involving some P10 billion of the so-called Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) a.k.a. pork barrel funds has now entered its third week hogging the national headlines and it is now crystal clear that the Legislative Branch of the Philippine government has totally refused to investigate what seems to be the biggest scandal ever over the use or misuse of taxpayer's money. Right now the P10 billion scam is nothing but a media circus, a sort of a reality telenovela for Filipinos to savor and make tsismis in the coffeehouses of the country.
