Full accounting

-

CONSIDERIN­G

THE MAS SIVE size of funds given by donors, domestic and overseas, to the fight against COVID 19, there should follow a complete accounting and detailing of the funds used against the pandemic.

This way, there would be transparen­cy as to how the public funds are being spent, adding to our credibilit­y in our skill to handle the donated funds. The donors would definitely be pleased.

Per reports, the anti-COVID 19 expenses added up to P374.9 billion, a hefty sum indeed. No less than Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles disclosed the government's intention to undergo full accounting of the expenses in the coronaviru­s response amid calls for transpar ency.

Nograles disclosed that the President reports to Congress every Monday regarding how the money in general has been spent, with details or breakdowns of such being seen in the COA report.

Fine, but the agencies given portions of the funds should disclose fully and truthfully the details to the Pr esi d en t .

As of June 30, 2020, the DBM reported that the funds amounting to P374.9 billion have been released to concerned agencies for their COVID 19 related programs.

These agencies are: DSWD-P200.9 billion; DOF-P88.5 billion; DOHP48.23 billion; DOLE-P12.5 billion; DA-P11 billion; DepEd-P10.9 billion and DND-P1.1 billion. Other agencies were also given funds for COVID-related programs.

Fr. Rolando V. dela Rosa„ O. P. columnist of Manila Bulletin, talked about our toxic dependency on government leaders:

without throwing the first stone— stand firm, looking inside yourselves where I am to be found. They are seeking to distract you; the Churches are closed, the empty seats and the loneliness within My Church is a foretaste of what is to come: The eliminatio­n of the Eucharisti­c Mystery.

“I have called you to pay attention to the advance of Communism; it is not asleep, but advances in union with those who are planning humanity’s enslavemen­t at this moment, seeking global chaos under the cover of famine.

“Pray My children, pray, what will emerge from My Church will confuse My Own: stay faithful to the Magisteriu­m of My True Church.*

“Pray My children: pray, the shadow of death will reach the bosom of My Church.

“Pray My children, the earth will shake with force, with great force. “My Mother, as the Teacher of My children, has constantly called you to “love Me in spirit and in truth. I remain present in each person, in those who work for My Kingdom, in whom I take pleasure.” Do not fear, no matter how serious the times may be. I will send My Angelic Legions to protect those who are Mine: keep the peace. Pray the Holy Rosary to My Mother, pray to Saint Michael the Archangel.

“Receive me in total peace with pure hearts. Do not be afraid! I bless you.”

Elsewhere at the Church of Santa Maria dll Assunta, the Blessed Mother told Geisella Cardia last Aug. 4:

“My children, thank you for being here in prayer. My children, division is taking place, apostasy is taking place and you, too, are against one another; always have faith— it is only with faith that everything can be overcome. My children, because of its rulers, America will suffer many losses. Pray, pray for the Church, because the drums are playing a death-roll. War is very close. But do not fear, children, I am here to protect you. Now I leave you with my blessing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.”

Then last Aug. 5, Our Lady Queen of the Rosary and of Peace relayed the following to Edson Glauber:

“My children, I your Mother ask you to listen to my appeals for prayer. The world is wounded by hatred and violence and has allowed itself to be corrupted by Satan through money, power, ambition and selfishnes­s. Return to the Lord with a heart of repentance for all your sins. Renounce the evil and deceptions of this world, in order to be able to merit[1]the love and forgivenes­s of my Divine Son. Commit to God so that his peace and love would fill your hearts and heal you of so many wounds that have been caused in your souls because of your sins and your disobedien­ce to his Divine Laws.

“My children, the devil is preparing great conflicts, not only in a specific region of the earth, but globally, involving many countries. Pray for peace, pray for the conversion of sinners. The world is on the verge of great conflicts and great suffering such as has never happened before. They have built terrible weapons that can eliminate many of my children in seconds. The proud and powerful are looking to eliminate you and your families. Fight against all evil by praying my Rosary, consecrati­ng yourself daily to our three Sacred Hearts, and by fasting, and my husband Joseph and I will plead for all of you before the throne of my Son Jesus.

“Convert, convert, convert, because the times of great pain are happening before your eyes and yet many remain incredulou­s and hard-hearted before God, because they do the will of Satan rather than the Lord’s will, and are not part of the flock of my Son Jesus, because they have been corrupted by the errors and deceptions of the world. Do not be deceived or corrupted. Be of God, fight and defend the truth, and my Son will always be with you, help you and bless you.

“I bless you all in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!”
