In a press release Monday , Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, said he has sponsored a resolution creating a “select oversight committee on confidential and intelligence funds.” Too late the hero. It’s like carrying a bucket of water to a house that has already burned down.
Checks and balances? The Senate failed to exercise that function when it approved the 9.28 billion in confidential and intelligence funds without question like the House did. It didn’t even care to examine why the Department of Education, for instance, asked for such allocation. Or maybe I just didn’t know that school personnel have been trained in intelligence work.
So, what’s the oversight committee for if you’re telling the public to trust the agencies that are recipients of these confidential and intelligence funds?
