Supreme Court: PDAF is unconstitutional

It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The Supreme Court has declared the controversial Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), also known as the “pork barrel” as unconstitutional. With a unanimous vote of 14-0 (Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. inhibited because his wife is a party-list representative), they find the system as unconstitutional for allowing legislators "to wield, in varying gradations, non-oversight, post-enactment authority in vital areas of budget executions" thus violative of the principle of separation of powers. The ponencia was made by Associate Justice Estela Perlas-Bernabe.

Ads Zens as a MLM company

ADS ZENS was included on the list of companies that the SEC said have no license to sell securities and DTI launched an investigation into the activities of this multi-level marketing firm. On the other hand, Ads Zens operation manager Dexter Cortez clarified that the company does not sell securities but products ranging from Brazilian coffee to barley to organic soap to even equipment. He said that the company is recruiting members who can buy their products at a lower price and then re-sell it at a higher price to profit from it. Cortez also claimed that their operation is similar to Avon, Amway or Tupperware which are legitimate multilevel marketing.

Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante & his extradition

Remember Joc-Joc? Former agricultural undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante who left the Philippines due to the very controversial “fertilizer fund scam” is expected to be extradited soon after his request for asylum was denied by the US Court of Appeals.

Philippine Senators are not only wanting Joc-Joc for the fertilizer fund scam but also eyeing his connection on the so-called “swine scam.” They are just waiting for the big day of his coming to be arrested but contrary to that, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said the opposite as he has no pending warrant of arrest in Philippine courts.

The home coming of Mr. Bolante is a big relief not only to politicians but moreover to farmers who are victims on the fertilizer fund scam. Their long-wait is over and that may justice be served to them.
