President Aquino could be getting a failing grade for failing to stop corruption, according to educators who participated in Monday’s march-rally for the abolition of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel.
Many participants in Davao’s Million People March were first-timers and found the march-rally ‘inspiring’ and ‘educational.’
