DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson ordered his people to recally the funds for congressmen-recipients' projects. Despite not having new revenue support, the P10.6 billion 'pork' insertion for allies in the 2010 budget had been released before PGMA step down from office on June 30. This amount was part of the 'pork' augmentation (that is, beyond the lawmakers' regular annual allotment) that had been inserted in the 2010 budget, coming from the allotment for debt payment but divertied into congressional 'pork barrels." The total diverted amount reached P64.6 billion. [See Executive Abuses page]
