PCSOstopsfundabuse 112 charity groups no longer getting P116M By Jerry E. Esplanada Philippine Daily Inquirer
What Margie Juico and company are doing is very, very cruel, said Morato, who is the PCSO chairs staunchest critic. He added: Thousands of young orphans and abandoned children, aged, blind and other disabled people confined in these institutions are now without help and no one to run to. Its outright cruelty to disadvantaged members of our society. She has no remorse whatsoever in hurting disadvantaged people.

Morato assailed what he called the PCSOs selective assistance program. Charitable institutions that the past administrations helped are no longer extended assistance. It is now very obvious that only those favored and are known to be supporters [of President Aquino] in the last election are given preference, together with the patients referred by friends of the administration and by their politician-allies, Morato said. He said the Hospicio de San Jose in Manila used to receive P2.4 million a year from the PCSO but was now receiving zero allocation. The other institutions that suffered the same fate were the Philippine Red Cross, Quezon Institute, National Center for Mental Health, Don Bosco Youth Center, Nutrition Center of the Philippines, and Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, he said.( Inquirer.net.2011)
