Unused appropriations declared as savings at the end of the year is subject to grave!abuse

Many government agencies including the judiciary and the constitutional commissions in the past have declared as savings at the end of the year appropriations for unfilled positions and used the so called savings to grant bonuses for their officials and employees and sometimes it was used for MOOE. Most probably these caused the lack of judges in many court salas all over the country, lack of teachers to teach our children resulting to big classes much more than the ideal 30 pupils per class, lack of policemen and so on and so forth thereby depriving many Filipinos better services we rightfully deserve.

Fiscal autonomy is needed for efficient public service but when it is abused, public service suffers!!

Since fiscal autonomy is expressly stated in the law, its abuse must be properly dealt with by filing the necessary charges against the responsible government functionaries whoever they are and no matter how many they are!

By so doing it will help put our country in order!! Discretion should always be tempered with patriotic sense of responsibility!
