Well, ladies and gentlemen, it seems like the esteemed senators of the Philippines have made a bold move to remove those pesky confidential funds from government agencies with civilian functions. Bravo! Finally, we’re taking a stand against secrecy and leveling the playing field, or so they say.

But here’s the kicker: we have no idea how much money this will save us, the unsuspecting taxpayers. It’s almost like they want us to trust them blindly. How generous!

Oh, and let’s not forget the legislators’ noble sacrifice of giving up their beloved pork barrel funds. Now, they want to make sure government agencies can’t enjoy any perks either. It’s only fair, right? Who needs healthcare, infrastructure, and education anyway? Our senators and congressmen certainly don’t.

So, in this brave new world without pork barrel funds (if they indeed vanish into thin air), each senator will save us a whopping P200 million, and each member of the House of Representatives will save P70 million. What a relief for our hardworking legislators! At least we know where their priorities lie.
