USAP COALITION: PH SUPREME COURT DECLARED DAP UNCONSTITUTIONAL, PROSECUTE GUILTY PARTIES NOW!

Los Angeles- The US Action Against Pork Barrel or PDAF (USAP) Coalition and the Filipino-Community in the United States declares its time for all those who are responsible for this financial mess and blatant violation of the Philippine Constitution be held accountable now that the Supreme Court partially struck down the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) of the Aquino III’s Department of Budget and Management (DBM) ,

USAP Coalition demands that DBM Secretary Abad resigns and take the responsibility for the gross violation of the Philippine Constitution and the investigation of DAP allotment as well as the PDAF Scandal be pursued and all the guilty parties be punished.

USAP Alarmed with the Callousness of the Accused.

The USAP Coalition on the other hand believes that Senator Jinggoy Estrada cannot crow about the DAP’s unconstitutionality and take credit for the act of the Supreme Court because he only spoke against it after the fact that the received his PDAF and DAP and had a lot of explaining to do at the Sandiganbayan about the his case.

For the USAP Coalition Senator Estrada and his co-accused are equally guilty of PDAF ad DAP plunder and is greatly alarmed at the temerity and the callousness of those who were charged wit plunder for they flaunt their privileges and taunt the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan as well as the administration in their utter disregard of them law even in jail where they received different kinds of special treatment.

USAP really wanders why until now Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is free and have not been arrested or as he said, have not turned himself or surrendered to the authorities. This is really the proof that there is different standard of justice for the poor and the oppressed and another for the ruling class and the rich privileged few.

For USAP, President Aquino III shares the blame on this utter disrespect for the law of by those of the accused . By saying Enrile should receive special considerations because of his age, Aquino is giving leeway to the former architect of martial law and is giving special treatment to those accused with plunder rendering inutile all efforts for them to remorse for their crimes.

The USAP Coalition again reiterate the call of the Filipino people in the Philippines and abroad; punish all those who are charged with plunder, misuse of PDAF and DAP , speedy trial and exact justice; let justice prevail and let the guilty suffer.

NO to PDAF and DAP! Let justice Prevail!
