I Love Miriam…

I don’t know about you but I really like Miriam Defensor-Santiago. She is so entertaining. You just hate to love her, or love to hate her. Either way, I hope to see more of her in the future. Tsaka sana sa TV para masaya… hahaha… Here’s an article about her on one of her many rants concerning the newly-elected senators.

Miriam dares new solons over ‘pork’
By: Bernadette E. Tamayo

SENATOR Miriam Defensor Santiago dared newly-elected senators to prove their integrity by donating their annual pork barrel funds to “kickback-free” projects for the Philippine General Hospital, the country’s biggest charity hospital, and to the University of the Philippines, the country’s premier state university.

“It is well-known in the pork barrel trade that there are no kickbacks for such projects as state-of-the-art machines for public hospitals, or new buildings for state universities. This project should be the litmus test for new senators claiming to be honest,” Santiago said.

Santiago was honored guest at a special program June 15 during the inauguration of new PGH medical facilities, headed by UP President Emerlinda Roman, PGH Director Carmelo Alfiler, and PGH cardiologist, now DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral.

Starting 2005, Santiago launched her personal campaign for “one senator, one machine” for PGH, leading the way by donating at that time P16 million for new equipment for the adult gastroenterology and cardiology sections.

The senator followed this up with her recent donation of another P16 million for the renovation of three rooms, called the control room, medical call room, and medical auxiliary room. In addition, Santiago’s pork barrel provided medical gas facilities to ensure that oxygen and lifesaving gases will be available to PGH patients.

Later this year, Santiago has already committed another P12 million to purchase an endoscopic ultrasound equipment for the new gastroenterology center at UP-PGH, the first of its kind in the Philippines to make diagnostic and treatment procedures available to patients who cannot afford similar facilities in private hospitals.

Santiago said that in 2005, she passed around the Senate a “pledge sheet” containing a list of machines urgently needed by PGH, with the intention that every senator should indicate opposite the machine of his choice the amount he was willing to donate from his pork barrel.

“Sadly, my project called ‘one senator, one PGH machine’ raised a lot of curiosity and interest among the senators, but apparently no senator followed up on his pledge,” Santiago lamented.

Santiago said that it is virtually useless for a senator to make public mere refusal of his pork barrel funds, because those funds will simply go to another agency where they could be subjected to corruption.

Song of the Day – Typecast’s Will You Ever Learn

Para sa taong mahalaga sa akin, sa mga oras na tulad ng ganito…

Will You Ever Learn

So what’s the point in all of this?
When you will never change
The days have past
The weather’s changed
Should I be sorry? Could I be sorry?
I did it all for you
Hoping you would see
Your eyes are dull, your hands are clenched
Are we ready?
But you think about yourself
Only but yourself
But what about…
Un-lonely nights, romantic moments
The love
What about them
Throw it all away
You know me well
You know it’s wrong
Then what is it you feel?
You hide behind those perfect smiles
It won’t fool me because you already did
But you think about yourself
Only but yourself
But what about…
Un-lonely nights, romantic moments
The love
What about them
Throw it all away
The perfect dates, the sweetest kisses
What about them
Throw it all away
