Many personalities call the Disbursement Acceleration Program unconstitutional and illegal - another impeachment in the offing?

Social and political criticisms

                                              
                                          Fr Bernas on DAP -  illegal and unconstitutional


From ABS CBN news | October 1 2013

At least 3 Senators (two incumbent - Ping and Miriam) and former (Joker) called the Disbursement Acceleration Program as unconstitutional.  No law allows the "juggling of funds" as it were without appropiate legislation from Congress.   The PDAF may have been corrupted but its disbursement/creation was legal.

About a billion pesos were appropiated for senators (P50 million each) post SC Corona impeachment.  PNoy defended it as being post event and therefore is not a bribe.

Several personalities are questioning the constitutionality the DAP before the Supreme Court.

Fr. Joaquin Bernas, a constitution expert has all ready expressed his view that DAP is illegal and unconstitutional!

So  PDAF + DAP = HOLDAP?

If we are consistent with impeachment of Corona, we should impeach responsible people for this.

Tamang daan, tuwid na daan?

What do you think?
