Atty. Glenn Chong criticized Vice President Leni Robredo for demanding the current administration to explain the P7.16-T debt of the government, saying that the latter didn’t know the real situation.
On October 29, Robredo said that the government should be more transparent on their deals as the debt already ballooned to P7.16-T.
“We demand the government to be transparent. We want to know where the government’s fund goes. Many are saying it goes to Build Build Build,” Robredo said.
In his Facebook post, Chong lectured VP Robredo and instead of the government, the lawyer explained how the P7.16-T debt of the country came from.
According to Chong, the debt being mentioned by Robredo was the amount of owed money of the government since Cory Aquino administration.
He explained that the government has been forced to borrow money because the country’s funds were not enough to sustain the needs of its people.
Chong said that the Vice President is wrong for asking the government to explain about the increasing debt and blame them.
The lawyer was also surprised that the Vice President didn’t know about the ‘budget deficit’ even she’s a former member of the lower House.
Chong believed that the government was suffering in budget deficit because the country’s funds was being corrupted by some officials.

WALANG KATAPUSANG PAGKAKAMALI
NI LENI ROBREDO!!!
Tila walang katapusan ang pagkakamali ng ale na ito.
Leni Robredo demanded, take note, she demanded, na ipaliwanag ng administrasyong Duterte kung bakit lumubo ang utang ng gobyerno sa P7.16 trilyong piso (7,160 bilyong piso o 71,600 milyong piso).
Bago pumuna, dapat mag-aral muna upang hindi magmukhang BOBO!
Mula 1988, panahon ni Corazon Aquino, hanggang 2017, panahon ni Rodrigo Duterte, pati na ang panahon ni Noynoy Aquino, kulang ang nalilikom na pondo ng gobyerno upang matustusan ang mga pangangailangan ng sambayanan. Ang tawag dito ay budget deficit.
* Sa mga taong 1994 hanggang 1997 lamang na walang budget deficit ang gobyerno.
On the average, mula 1988 hanggang 2017, ang budget deficit ng ating bansa ay pumapalo sa 2.08% ng kabuuang halaga ng mga produkto at serbisyong nagagawa ng bansa o Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Ito ay pumapalo sa daan-daang bilyon taon-taon.
Dahil dito, napipilitan ang gobyerno na mangutang upang mapunuan ang pagkukulang sa pondo nito, taon-taon. Kaya ang P7.16 trilyong utang ngayon ay accumulated debts o pinagpatung-patung na utang mula pa noon.
Kaya maling-mali na ang administrasyong Duterte ang pagbibintangan ni Leni Robredo sa mga pagkakautang na ito.
Besides, ang budget deficits na ito ay dumadaan sa Kongreso kada taon. At dahil naging kasapi si Leni Robredo ng Kongreso, dapat ay alam niya ito. Kung hindi niya ito alam, wala pala talaga siyang silbi bilang Congresswoman. Kung alam naman niya ito, malisyoso ang kanyang hininging pagpapaliwanag sa Pangulong Duterte. Pumili lang siya sa dalawang ito – kanyang kab***han o malisyosong pagpaparatang.
Finally, bakit palaging deficit ang ating budget? Simple lang ang dahilan. Kurapsyon sa pangungulekta ng buwis at kurapsyon sa paggastos ng pera ng bayan.
Dahil sa marumi at madayang halalan, nakakapasok at nananatili ang mga kurakot na politiko na walang ginagawa kundi patuloy na halayin ang kaban ng bayan. At dahil nakikita ito ng mga kolektor ng buwis, pati sila nangungurakot at din. Kaya this vicious cycle goes on and on.
