What?

Hm, lets see... out of 300 billion pesos being allocated for the 2008 government budget, a meager 4% is directed towards the metro (12 billion).

Um, how is 4% most of the money? What do you call the remaining 96% (288 billion pesos) of the budget that is not directed to the metro?

Of course, that's only 4% of the budget; as a percentage of GDP (PPP), it would be more or less 0.5% of all the money that is produced in the DR.

That doesn't sound like most of the money, that's not even half, not even a third, not even a quarter of the money.

Just wondering.
