Extravagant Use of Government Resources Hit

Three members of the House of Representatives including a presidential son were criticized for obtrusively using their positions to take advantage of government resources. The presidential son and two of his House allies did not escaped criticism from the prying eyes of the public after they were seen using government helicopters as their means of transportations in attending House sessions.

Despite of the rice crisis and the long queues of ordinary people patiently waiting to be sold of cheap NFA rice around the country, public officials are having their good times in living extravagantly in the expense of public funds. The Philippines’ political elites are obviously not in sympathy to the greater majority who are affected by the food crisis besetting the nation.

Instead of releasing their fat pork barrel funds to help procure more rice or help the farmers’ groups in their rice productions, the three solons were neither heard nor seen offering their causes to help the ordinary people in particular and the country in general.

The congressmen are only good when their interests are at stake. They have no concern to the people who voted them into office. When payback time comes, like what the nation is experiencing now, the elected officials are hard to locate.  

While the ordinary people continuously queuing for cheap NFA rice, the politicos and their families are resting like kings and queens in their mansions complete with foods on their long and richly designed tables.
