PGMA very concerned over alleged scam in farmers’ subsidy project
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is concerned over the alleged scam committed in the long-devolved municipal level in the distribution of subsidies to farmers under the Ginintuang Masaganang Ani (GMA) program of her administration.
According to Press Secretary Jesus G. Dureza, the President is very concerned about all this because she has been releasing a lot of funds as part of economic agenda.
The funds came from the VAT excesses, although she went into a process of being unpopular but had to do it to make a good fiscal situation, Dureza pointed out.
The Press Secretary said it should be easy to pinpoint the culprits “when the full force of the law is applied,” especially that the distribution has been devolved to the local government units concerned. (PIA/Bohol)
