The crisis that happened in Cebu and how our government handled it, is an argument for Federalism.
It shouldn't... if our central government is COMPETENT.
and now.. it even makes me rethink about confidential funds and PDAF. you see.. it's just funds... that has been allotted for future use. it's ready. it's prepared.
we can name it anyway we want 'contingency funds', 'emergency funds', 'top secret funds'
but here's the thing. if that money is prepared and ready. it could have prepared us against sudden disasters like this.
And then it hit me… Should Congress and the Senate be 24/7?
Now I think: yes.
Disasters don’t wait for office hours. Neither should the people we elect to respond to them.
