Well, we’re sure you know that we’re not a fan of Baguio Congressman Mauricio Domogan (note: we used to like him when he was starting his political career) but we’re giving him credit for putting up a website which provides details on where his pork barrel is going.

How to Spend P20 Million, III
We’re publishing your comments in the main page for the others who don’t visit the comments section. Thanks everyone.

While some suggestions are quite dandy, let’s all narrow it down to:
- 8 million to BGH
- 8 million to improving the city library and buy quality books NOT photocopied materials
