President’s pork ‘rotten’ too

SUPREME Court Associate Justice Arturo Brion believes that President Benigno Aquino 3rd’s discretionary funds or pork barrel is also “constitutionally anomalous” and should be abolished by the Court.

In his 20-page Separate Concurring and Dissenting Opinion, Brion, the only bar first placer in the High Court, said it is Congress that allowed the irregularity by giving the President his own pork barrel in lump sum without congressional scrutiny.
