MANILA, Philippines— 2019 is “Year of the Earth Pig.”
Senator Panfilo Lacson, who has been exposing the alleged “pork barrel” insertions in the 2019 national budget, said this in a Twitter post on Monday.
“Brace yourselves for more pork,” Lacson said.
The senator earlier alleged that at least two members of the House of Representatives have been allotted P2.2 billion and P1.9 billion budget for their pet projects next year.
Lacson did not name the two but said the lion’s share of “pork” would go to projects in Pampanga and Camarines Sur.
