Several lawmakers, organizations and constitutional experts have expressed their opinion that President Aquino’s Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) is unconstitutional. Worse, this lump-sum fund, taken from “savings” of many government agencies, has supposedly been used as “bribe” for senators who voted to remove impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona last year. And due to its nature as a “presidential pork”, DAP is prone to corruption as any pork barrel fund.
