DBM forces agencies to speed up spending

Quote, “Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad cited economic planners when he said that growth in the first quarter could be attributed to strong government spending, especially in infrastructure.”, end quote.

So now, finally the government is realizing the value of PPP spending, I have been saying this since PNoy took the job..that`s the reason I attacked him in my comments for failing to continue GMA  projects such as Laguna lake dredging to deepen its capacity to hold flood waters- now the cancellation of that works means millions of dollars to pay the involved Belgium company and now, rainy season comes we like  a grasshopper failed to prepare and there are no serious projects to avoid the repeat of the Ondoy diluge in Marikina, the threat is basically justt staring you in the eyes. The cancelled High speed North Rail projects, now we must also pay for every delays that the project was cancelled and that are in millions too, the Suoth Rail project too.

We need another broadband infrastructures to protect the government sensitive informations and the recent China hack attack exposed our vulnerability once again like a grasshopper failing to prepare.  He failed to launch the PPP including road dike defenses for the major populated areas, serwerage system to clean the water in order that during the summer drought,  dams will not get too overwhelmed and when rivers and lakes are clean there are sources that can prevent overpumping of our water table that is also sinking lands in the Philippines. The BioEthanol and renewable projects of GMA, lost and like a grasshopper we will again suffer the same fate repeatedly. Unless, this government will reduce our oil dependency by utilizing our domestic resources such as Ethanol and CNG powered buses and provide electricity for all sectors of our country, we remain vulnerable to wild swing in the international arena, the wind plants where are they now? We are really are, ningas cogon, with manyana habit, when we feel comfortable we stopped finishing important projects and what we can do now will be shelved for another day–we are like a grasshopper.
