Govt dared: ‘Scrap pork and use funds for climate-proofing PH’
“The P10-billion (US$ 228 m) pork barrel re-channeled to fake NGOs should have been used instead for an P8.3-billion restoration project for our country’s mangrove forest cover and almost four year’s worth of community-based disaster preparedness and response programs costing at least P2 billion.” – Kalikasan-PNE

And even if they return it, they still have accountabilities that they need to face.” – National Museum employee
