Drilon raises alarm on unchecked pork barrel
The Philippine Star
|January 04, 2025
Former Senate president Franklin Drilon raised alarm over the staggering P731.4 billion in pork barrel allocations across 2024 and 2025, a massive amount that has largely remained unchecked.
Drilon challenged the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to disclose the billions of pesos worth of Congress-introduced amendments in the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
He said the P731.4 billion comprises P449 billion in pork barrel funds from the 2024 GAA and an additional P347 billion in the 2025 GAA.
"You know, I've been a senator for 24 years. It's only now that I've seen pork barrels that big. It's monstrous," Drilon said in a radio interview.
