Top 5 Ways How To Get Away With Underspending

Underspending on public works and infrastructures is perhaps one of the most underexposed blunders of the Aquino administration. Considering that the country is riddled with joblessness, poverty, and hunger, and is experiencing a scarcity of public infrastructures and services, there is NO VIABLE EXCUSE for underspending.

Here are the top 5 reasons why his administration was able to get away with it:

5. Blame Game

Kasalanan ni GMA kung bakit tayo nagka leche leche. 

GMA: Crush mo ko noh?

This was his tune for almost 6 years. In fact, I would go as much to say that GMA, overall, was a better president than him any time of the day. see Find that Hidden Mickey ang Peg

Aquino is also notorious for his habit of lambasting the Philippine press and media as "negative." In short, puro pa bad vibes daw ang ating mga mamamahayag.

4. Saving is Good

Personal level? Pills! Government level? No. This is a gross misrepresentation of government underspending. The Aquino government has been abusing the people's ignorance in pushing this propaganda.

3. Showbiz

Sa kasikatan ng mga cronies at miyembro ng kabinete ni Aquino, tiyak na hindi na gaanong mauusisa ng taumbayan ang mga ganitong isyu.

The public spotlight is drawn away from him to the more erratic and sublime. After all, is it his fault that he has a narcissistic and neurotic sister, like Kris Aquino? Or a cabinet that almost never gets anything done right?

2. Shamelessness

The only times Aquino showed humility was when he was trying to win our votes during his previous elections. These days, he is quick to quip brazen remarks highlighting his self-proclaimed achievements and discounting his catastrophic blunders.

Aquino: Kayo ang boss ko- kaya nga binigyan ko kayo ng tag bebente!

  1. Budget Process

In our country, the president is the one who gets to decide who gets how much in the form of budget of expenditures and other sources of financing. Imagine what could have happened had we not elected an inutile as a president.

  

Take into consideration that plurality of the seats in the lower house and a formidable number occupied in the upper house of congress are occupied by his political party, LP. It's virtually impossible that his administration could have had encountered a bottle neck in passing bills that would introduce and/or improve our existing public infrastructure and services.
