I just need to get this off my chest... I am really disgusted by the Philippine Senate. But I am not sure which one disgusts me the most:
1. That people like Haydee Yorac, Winnie Monsod, Perfecto Yasay and Bobby de Ocampo were denied membership to this exclusive club called the Philippine Senate.
2. That people like Jawo, Freddie Webb, Lito Lapid, Gringo, Ramon Revilla Sr., Ramon Revilla Jr. were granted membership.
2.a. That Jamby Madrigal was granted membership after recruiting Judy Anne Santos (during the campaign, she constantly reminded people to vote for Jamby and not Juday).
3. That the Senate is willing to remove one of its members just to minimize his chances of becoming President of the Philippines even if the accusations were absurd (as Joker said, they all approved the Appropriations Bill, then they are all liable. It means that they sign laws even without reading it.).
4. That the former Senate President, who is under threat to become expelled-Senator, launched a 5minute- radio campaign ad featuring Boy Abunda to denounce the charges (what a statesman).
5. That Senator Sipag at Tiyaga dragged his daughter to a press conference to attest to his innocence in the Sentae mess (and then they ask for privacy when their children are questioned???) (what a family man)
6. That presidentiable-senators seem to be happy that the country will enter recession because it will be a good campaign piece against the administration.
7. That the Senate is spending more time doing investigations-in-aid-of-reelection instead of passing laws while we are about to enter recession.
8. That the Senate has Juan Ponce Enrile as Senate President.
9. That the Senate has Jinggoy Estrada as Senate President Pro-Tempore.
10. That the Senate has Juan Miguel Zubiri as Majority Leader.
please, please add Jamby Madrigal to this list...so the people may know.

ReplyDeleteJamby, Jinggoy and Bong (Revilla)'s questions to Hayden and Katrina were so... "in aid of legislation."
ReplyDeleteThat they do investigations in aid of legislation and no laws are being passed
