Senate Hearing: Bayani Fernando Admits Pocketing Public Money
August 29th, 2009 by Ding G. Gagelonia
The guy who now packages himself as every girl’s BF is staring graft charges in the face.
Yes, Mr. Bayani Fernando, Malacanang’s poster boy at the Metro Manila Development Authority admitted that he unblinkingly accepted a cash ‘birthday gift’ in four instalments from amusement tax earnings.
The tax collected from moviegoers is intended by law to be used for movie industry workers, among others.

BF, who says he is a cinch to win the presidency (based on his current survey score of 1%), even told Sen. Jinggoy Estrada he does not intent to donate the gift to charity, nor reject such cash gift in the future.
The voluble Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago was aghast at BF’s admission, describing it as a confession of taking public money for personal benefit.
No-brainer conclusion that BF can’t be your BF, or BFF even.
BTW, Mr. Fernando says in the PaLaka presidential bet derby he’s ahead of Gilbert Teodoro who has a .2 survey rating since he has all on 1 %.
Sure.
