Social and political criticisms
From rappler
After the news of Pl.6 million cash gift of JPE to 18 fellow senators, there was also news that Belmonte gave P0.5 million cash gift to the congressman. This is in the from of MOOE (maintenance and other operating expenses); they used to receive half of that amount on a non Christmas day. According to sources, it a 13th month, the usual practice in the Congress.
l. Do you think there is anything unusual about this?
2. Is this really a 13th month?
What do they do with public funds? Is this really the reason why citizens do not pay the right taxes?
Is this a bribe? Lusot ba ulit kung 13th month.
Solons confirm receiving P500,000 in MOOE last December
