Funds for fascists

Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

The regime utterly deprives the youth of their right to free education. Teachers are likewise made to suffer extremely low salaries. Meanwhile, the regime goes all out to give whatever the AFP and the PNP demand. Following are some of the funds allocated to the AFP and PNP in 2003:

• P3 billion for salary increases of AFP elements

• P2.1 billion for salary increases of police personnel

• P1.4 billion for the CAFGU

• P1.2 billion for new policemen, jail guards and firefighters

• P1.1 billion for the pensions of retired military personnel

• P800 million for new mercenary soldiers

• P96.3 million for the Balikatan exercises
