The Supreme Court (SC) yesterday ordered the executive department to answer a petition questioning the allocation of some P60.75 billion in the internal revenue allotment (IRA) of the 2012 national budget to national projects.
DAMAYAN or DAang MAtuwid YAN supports fully this petition of Congressman Dodo Mandanas of Batangas. Local autonomy is based on the principle of subsidiarity and is one of the pillars of the 1987 Philippine constitution. It takes a lot of courage to stand for what is right while losing privileges one currently enjoys and can otherwise easily retain by just tagging along with the current. Dodo Mandanas is showing a trait that is one of the most important trait of a leader which is to stand for what is right for ones constituents no matter what. One need not be with the administration in pursuing the Matuwid na Daan. As a matter of fact it can be a challenge to the administration to outdo itself and for all the people including PNoy himself to collectively pursue it during and after PNoy's term!
