Ang paghahawak-hawak kamay at matinding pagbabantay sa kaban ng bayan ay isang paraan upang malaman kung saan-saan napunta ang mga pondong nakalaan sa bawat larangan lalo na ng pangkalusugan.
Lahat ng tao ay may opinyon. Naglibot ang Mulat Pinoy upang alamin at ihayag ang pulso ng ilang Pilipino ukol sa mga balak at plano ng ating ikalabing-limang pangulo.

The staff of Mulat Pinoy were recently invited to a forum and press conference at AIM, where the Bishops-Businessmen Conference (BBC), the Makati Business Club (MBC), the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), and the Philippine Center for Population and Development (PCPD) held a consultation session on a Consensus Bill on Population.

The JSC was created to guide the group efforts for a CBP. Read more
