One doesn’t need a survey disclosing the deteriorating numbers of hungry and impoverished Filipinos to see the truth of the increasing poverty that stalks the nation.

"The fact that there is that admission from the CCT chief that the program lacks monitoring is already an admission of failure of the program — especially as Dinky Soliman has been given, apart from the P23 billion in CCT funds, a P4 billion budget for staffing purposes."
