The Pork Barrel Scam did not come to light on its own. It was exposed because people wisely voted for a basically good man who appointed upright people who did their jobs dutifully and courageously. It is therefore the height of irony and malice if some people now assail the President for speculated abuses and misuse of funds under his office instead of hounding those who are implicated by evidence in the scam.
It seems that there are three groups who are engaged in this sinister enterprise and all have spurious motives.
The first group is the militant left which is committed and determined to bring down government by all means and at all cost in the hope of seizing power.
The second group is composed of the plundering politicians and their allies who would like nothing more than to muddle the issue and burn the house down as a way of getting away with their crimes.
The third group is the tainted churchmen who could not find it in their hearts to forgive and reconcile with President Aquino not for any sin he committed but for espousing the matuwid na daan vision that exposed the bankruptcy of their morality.
The pork barrel scam has gone beyond the issue of corruption into a morality battle between good and evil. The public should be discerning and reject these three groups if they ever want to see anyone punished for the pork barrel scam and to have a truly clean government.
