President Benigno S. Aquino receives from Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) president and chief executive officer Emmanuel Ledesma, Jr. the dividend check amounting to P2.5-billion to be remitted to the National Treasury during the 2014 Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCC) Dividends Day at the Rizal Hall of the Malaca\u00f1an Palace on Monday(June 09). A total of 49 agencies remitted P32.31-billion to the National Treasury, surpassing the collections made last year, with nine GOCCs belonging to the elite circle, the so-called \u201cBillionaire\u2019s Club\u201d, for having remitted at least P1-billion to the government.

MANILA — Despite Vice President Jejomar Binay’s criticisms against the Aquino administration, Binay’s camp still believes that the both are still friends, though separated by their varying opinions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s important is that they are still friends and while they may have different opinions, the Vice President gives importance to their relationship,\u201d Mon Ilagan, spokesperson for Binay\u2019s United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) party said as quoted in a Philippine Daily Inquirer report.<\/p>\n

Following his resignation, Binay slammed the Aquino administration calling it “madhid and palpak” (insensitive and a failure).<\/p>\n

Responding to this, Aquino said that he could not understand why Binay have the courage to speak ill against his administration after the he had given him the opportunity not to become a “spare tire.”<\/p>\n

\u201cHinalal siya ng taumbayan, binigyan ko (s\u2019ya) ng lahat ng pagkakataon para hindi s\u2019ya maging spare tire,\u201d Aquino said during the Livestock expo and convention in Manila.<\/p>\n

(He was elected by the people, I gave him all the opportunities not to become a spare tire)<\/p>\n

\u201cIpinagkaloob natin sa kanya \u2018yung pagkakataon na manaliti \u2018yung kanyang popularity ratings bagama\u2019t hindi natin siya kaalyado \u2018nung tumakbo sa eleksyon, bagama\u2019t \u2018nung 2013 e nandun siya sa kabilang grupo. Hindi natin siya parang pinigilan na \u2018yung magkaroon naman ng pagkakataon na marecognize \u2018yung kanyang trabaho,\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n

(We gave him the chance to maintain his popularity ratings though he wasn\u2019t an ally\u00a0\u00a0during the elections, and even when in 2013 he was with another group. We didn\u2019t stop\u00a0him from being recognized\u00a0for his work.)<\/p>\n

Ilagan said that Binay was thankful for the opportunity given to him by the President adding that he\u00a0\u201creally wanted to help the poor and [the] overseas Filipino workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aquino appointed Binay as the head of the National Housing Authority and he also granted Binay\u2019s request to appoint him the Presidential Adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers Affairs.<\/p>\n
