1 | ‘Million People March’ Against Corruption in the Philippines | Filipina :”Diaben'Olona An-tapitrisany” Manohitra ny Kolikoly |
2 | Massive protests, the biggest since President Benigno ‘Noynoy' Aquino III took office three years ago, rocked the Philippines on National Heroes Day as hundreds of thousands expressed indignation against government corruption and called for the full abolition of the pork barrel. | Hetsi-panoherana goavana, ny lehibe indrindra hatramin'ny nandraisan'ny Filoha Benigno ‘Noynoy' Aquino III ny fitondrana telo taona izay, no nanozongozona an'i Filipina tamin'ny Androm-pirenena ho an'ireo Mahery Fo, olona an'hetsiny no naneho ny hatezerany noho ny kolikoly ataon'ny governemanta ary mitaky ny fanafoanana ny fanodikodinam-bolam-panjakàna. |
3 | Police estimated that around 80,000 to 100,000 gathered in Rizal Park in Manila, the national capital, while thousands more held mass actions in other cities nationwide. | Novinavinain'ny mpitandro filaminana fa manodidina ny 80.000 ka hatramin'ny 100.000 ireo nivory tao amin'ny Rizal Park any Manila, renivohitry ny firenena, ary an'arivony maro no nanao fihetseham-bahoaka tany amin'ny tanàna hafa. |
4 | Public outrage against the corruption-tainted pork barrel came in the wake of exposés on the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), which is allotted for legislators in Congress and Senate for use in pet projects. | Ireo tatitra natao momba ny Vola ho Fanampiana ny Fampandrosoana (PDAF) no nahatonga ny hatezeran'ny vahoaka, izay notsinjaraina amin'ireo mpanao lalàna ao amin'ny Kongresy sy ny Loholona ampiasaina aminà tetikasa notsongaina manokana. |
5 | The PDAF has long been the target of critics as a site of official corruption. | Efa voatsikera hatry ny ela ho toeran'ny kolikolim-panjakàna ny PDAF. |
6 | But public uproar swelled after a whistleblower identified businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles who is alleged to have conspired with lawmakers to pocket P10 billion through the fund. | Fa vao mainka nihamafy ny kiakiakan'ny vahoaka rehefa nisy niteny fa miray tsikombakomba amin'ireo mpanao lalàna ilay mpandraharaha Janet Lim-Napoles ka maka am-paosy 10 lavitrisa P avy amin'ilay famatsiam-bola. |

10 | Dubbed the “Million People March,” the idea behind Monday's predominantly middle-class gathering in Rizal Park originated from social media interactions between concerned netizens on Facebook and Twitter. | Antsoina hoe :“Diaben'ny olona an'arivony” ny fivorian'ireo olon-tsotra ao amin'ny Rizal Park tamin'ny Alatsinainy noho ny fiaraha-miasan'ireo haino aman-jery sosialy sy teo amin'ireo mpiserasera amin'ny Facebook sy ny Twitter. |
11 | The concept for a million people march against the pork barrel began with a random Facebook post by music producer Ito Rapadas. | Ny zavatra nosoratan'ilay mpamokatra mozika Ito Rapadas tao amin'ny Facebook no nitarika ny hevitra fanoheran'ny olona an-tapitrisany ny fanodinkodinam-bola io. |
12 | What we need is a MILLION PEOPLE MARCH by struggling Filipino taxpayers- a day of protest by the silent majority that would demand all politicians and govt. officials (whatever the political stripes, color they may carry) to stop pocketing our taxes borne out from our hard work by means of these pork barrel scams and other creative criminal acts. | DIABEN'NY OLONA AN-TAPITRISANY no ilaintsika entina hiady amin'ireo mpanangon-ketra Filipiana - andro iray fitokonana amim-pahanginana ataon'ireo maro an'isa izay mangataka ny mpanao politika sy ny mpiasam-panjakana rehetra (na inona na inona loko na antoko mety ho entiny) mba hampitsahatra ny fanaovana am-paosy ny valin-kasasarantsika andoavana hetra ho an'ny fisolokiana amin'ny alàlan'io fanodikodinam-bola io sy fanaovana asa ratsy hafa. |
13 | This was shared by various netizens including his friend Peachy Bretaña who suggested that the mass action be held on August 26 in time for the National Heroes Day. | Mpiserasera maro amin'ny aterineto no nanaparitaka ity, isan'izany i Peachy Bretaña namany izay nilaza fa hisy fihetseham-bahoaka ny 26 Aogositra amin'ny andro Nasionaly ho an'ny Mahery Fo. |
14 | Protest actions were also held in various cities nationwide, notably in Bacolod City, Baguio City, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, Dagupan City, Davao City, Digos City, Dumaguete City, Iloilo City, Naga City, and Puerto Princessa in Palawan. | Nisy fihetseham-bahoaka ihany koa tany amin'ireo tanàna hafa ivelan'ny renivohitra, toa an'i Bacolod, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Dagupan, Davao, Digos, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Naga, ary Puerto Princessa any Palawan. |

16 | Perhaps to deflect public outrage, Aquino promised the abolition of the PDAF and its replacement by a more transparent funding scheme last Friday. | Mba hanodinana ny hatezaram-bahoaka angamba, dia nampanantenain'i Aquino fa hofoanana ny PDAF ary hosoloina rafitra fitantanam-bola mangarahara, tamin'ny Zoma lasa teo. |
17 | The protest action still pushed through. | Vao mainka nitroatra ny vahoaka. |
18 | During the day of the actual protest, President Aquino and his spokespersons announced that the government was on the same side with the protesters. | Nandritra ny andro fitokonana, dia nolazain'ny filoha Aquino sy ireo mpitondrateniny fa miaraka amin'ny vahoaka ny governemanta. |
19 | Apparently, many were not convinced. | Tsikaritra fa maro no tsy resy lahatra. |
20 | Here were some reactions on Twitter: | Ireto misy hevitra hita ao amin'ny Twitter : |
21 | You don't decide where we want our money to go. | Tsy anareo no manapaka ny làlana alehan'ny volanay. |
22 | WE DO. | ANAY IZANY. |
23 | We want our money for national development, welfare and security. | Tianay atao any amin'ny fampandrosoana nasionaly, ny asa sosialy ary ny fandriam-pahalemana ny volanay. |

26 | If Noynoy and protesters on the same side, why did people still go out despite his presscon last week? | Raha miaraka amin'ny mpitokona i Noynoy, nahoana ny olona no mbola mitokona ihany na dia efa navoaka an-gazety aza izany tamin'ny herinandro lasa ? |
27 | Abolish vs renaming. | Fanoafoanana vs fanovana anarana. |
28 | Big difference | Misy fahasamihafana lehibe |

30 | Meanwhile, Pixel Offensive said that if the President is truly on the people's side against pork barrel it should manifest on the following: | Mandritra izany fotoana izany, dia nolazain'i Pixel Offensive fa raha miaraka amin'ny vahoaka miady amin'ny fanodinkodinam-bola marina ny filoha dia tokony hihetsika amin'ireto zavatra ireto : |
31 | 1) Abolition of all pork, no exemption. | 1) Fanafoanana ny vola ahodinkodina rehetra, tsy misy an-kanavaka. |
32 | Kulangot lang ito kumpara sa PORK nya. | Kulangot lang ito kumpara sa PORK nya. |
33 | [This is minor compared to his own pork.] | [Mbola kely io raha ampitahaina amin'ny vola ahodiny.] |
34 | 2) His staff wouldn't post anti-rally tweets. | 2) Tsy tokony hanoratra bitsika manohitra ny hetsika ny olom-peheziny. |
35 | This just exposes the Presidential inner circle's way of thinking | Mampiseho ny fomba fiheveran'ireo manodidina ny Filoha izany. |
36 | Let's raise this discussion a bit higher, shall we? | Akaro ambonimbony kokoa ity adihevitra ity, vitantsika ve izany? |
37 | Do you expect an haciendero president to serve the people? | Inona no zavatra andrasanareo omen'ny filoha haciendero ny vahoakany ? |
38 | Critics alleged that the “presidential pork barrel” consisting of lump-sum allocations the disbursement of which is left to the sole discretion of the president and his executive department is worth more than 1.3 trillion pesos. | Avoitry ny tsikera fa ny “vola ho an'ny filoha” dia vola mitontaly maherin'ny 1.3 trillion pesos izay ny filoha sy ny departemantany mpanatanteraka ihany no mihevitra ny fandaniana azy. |
39 | Interestingly, despite the Aquino regime's claiming to be on the side of the protesters some of his spokespersons contradicted this by posting tweets criticizing the protest action. | Ny mahavariana dia na dia nolazain'ny fitondràn'i Aquino aza fa miaraka ry zareo sy ny mpanohitra dia misy sasany amin'ireo mpitondra teniny manohitra izany amin'ny alàlan'ny bitsika izay mitsikera ny hetsi-panoherana. |
40 | Hours before the anti-corruption rally, presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte tweeted a link of an article that described indignation over the pork barrel as a “nice but misplaced statement.” | Nibitsika rohy mankany amin'ny lahatsoratra iray izay manoritra ny hatezerana momba ny fanodinkodinam-bola ho “tsara saingy tsy amin'ny tokony ho izy” ny mpitondratenin'ny filoha, Abigail Valte, ora vitsy mialohan'ny fitokonana fanoherana ny kolikoly. |
41 | The article said that while the pork barrel has been abused it isn't necessarily evil and concluded by calling those joining the protest action as afflicted by a “hypocrisy of indignation”: | Ambaran' ilay lahatsoratra fa rehefa namparina ny fanodinkodinam-bola dia tsy voatery ho ratsy izany, ary nofaranany tamin'ny filazana ireo izay handeha hamonjy ny hetsi-panoherana ho toy ny “fiatsaram-belatsihin'ny hatezerana” : |
42 | Are we thinking the next step after, or like Juan Tamad waiting for someone to solve the problem for us? | Efa nosainintsika ve ny dingana manaraka, sa ho toa an'i Julian Tamad isika ka miandry olon-kafa hamaha ny olana ho antsika ? |
43 | Anger is the path to the dark side, and this is why the hypocrisy of indignation must stop, and why we must shift gears and solve the problem of how government spends our monies. | Làlana mankany amin'ny lafy ratsy ny hatezerana, ary izany no tsy maintsy hanajanonana ny fiatsaram-belatsihin'ny hatezerana sy tsy maintsy hamelantsika ireny zavatra ireny ary hamahantsika ny olona momba ny handanian'ny governemanta ny volantsika. |
44 | Another presidential spokesperson, Edwin Lacierda, also tweeted a link of the same article and quipped, “Who says blogging is passé!” | Nibitsika rohy tamin'io lahatsoratra io ihany koa ny mpitondratenin'ny filoha iray hafa, i Edwin Lacierda sady nanao tsindrom-paingotra, “Iza no milaza fa efa lasa ny fanaovana bilaogy !” |
45 | For his part, Communications undersecretary Manuel Quezon III asked the Catholic Church, which encouraged the people to attend the mass action, why it remained quiet during the incumbency of former President Gloria Arroyo. | Nanontany ny Fiangonana Katolika izay mampirisika ny olona mba ho any amin'ilay fihetseham-bahoaka i Manuel Quezon III mpitan-tsoratra mpanampy ao amin'ny Serasera, fa nahoana no nangina izy nandritra ny fitondran'ny filoha teo aloha Gloria Arroyo. |
46 | The said officials have denied tweeting against the rally. | Nolavin'ireo mpiasam-panjakàna voatonana anarana ny filazàna fa nibitsika nanohitra ny hetsika izy ireo. |
47 | But in the end, no amount of public relations magic can suppress public outrage over the massive plunder of people's money by government officials and their cronies while millions of Filipinos suffer from hunger, joblessness, and extreme poverty. | Fa amin'ny farany dia tsy hisy fifandraisana majika afaka hamono ny hatezeram-bahoaka amin'ny fandrobàna ataon'ny governemanta sy ny mpiara-dia aminy ny volam-bahoaka nefa Filipiana an'arivony no noana, tsy an'asa ary tena mahantra. |
