Even after a year since the abolishment of Basic Development Assistance Fund (BDAF), the National Commission of Investigation is continually exposing more and more politicians and businessmen involved in the BDAF pork barrel scandal, most of whom are racking millions of pesos in their accounts and setting local records in tax evasion. Political analyst Richie Darwin stated in an interview "Even a teacher's average annual tax is more than all of these politicians' tax filings combined."
After the turn of these recent events divulging the system, Securities and Exchange Commission Director Harold Venecia speaks up and expresses fears for the country's future and demands good governance from the Executive Branch including President Fernando Cojuangco.
He states that the country might soon become a hotspot for money laundering if the system thrives for longer. "Not just a local hotspot, but an international one. If this lingers on, we'll have officials all around the world illegally circulating money thanks to our ignorance and incompetence," Venecia stated after expressing concerns about foreign nationals being unexpectedly involved in the scandal.
Venecia specifically addressed his demands to the Executive Branch and President Cojuangco to "wipe this corrupted system clean" and "be transparent with everything." Venecia also discussed about fixing up improper legislation that leads to opportunistic loopholes.
Many netizens are praising Venecia for having the courage to speak up. Most of them specifically point out they've never seen "a department official resist until he [Venecia] stood for everyone." However, some netizens don't approve of Venecia's statement and deems it as disobedient and irresponsible.
