Today, I would have written about how happy I am because my crush (hayyyyy....) sees the girl I hate as nothing more than a friend. Today, I would have written about how some people are just so dumb that they cannot get their own blogs and instead just troll on the popular ones. Today, I would have written about how Sen. Bong Revilla is so overly dramatic and how I like how Patricia Evangelista summed it all up. I would have...but instead, I'm not. Why?
Yesterday, at around 11:37 pm, HR 1109 has been approved by the House of Representatives. What is HR 1109 all about? In two words - Constituent Assembly, and that with or without the consent of the Senate. Funny how this was done in haste (bullet train, not railroading as one congressman joked) with the congress ditching their other affairs and staying to deliberate until 12 midnight. Is it because the elections is just around the corner? Never mind if we still have to face the financial crisis or the Swine Flu. There are other things that we should solve first! Why not do it after elections when people would no longer doubt the authenticity of the authors' intent? Why can't it wait? Imagine, the interpellation period was cut short and the debate was closed after only 5 people have spoken against ConAss (there were 13 people lined up). If that's not a dubious move, I don't know what to call it. This is is just like the Senate going full force over the HK-KH scandal when they could have spent their precious time on other issues.
No country or government is perfect, I get that. But at least we can try. At least we can stop looking for more power and start making our cuntry a better place in our own little way. And no, having a position in the government is not the only way by which we can make a change.

ReplyDeletehabang mahibing siguro tulog natin 'saka pinasa..

ReplyDeleteRhona, muntik ako himatayin sa sobrang serious ng post mo. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, I too is really pissed about this. Para bang sinaksak sa likod ang mga Pilipino habang natutulog. Kainos noh?

@humanbullshit - paminsan minsan talaga seryoso ako lalo na kung nakakainis
ReplyDelete@Reesie - sinabi mo pa. I was following tweets from Ted Casiño and sobrang makikita mo talaga kung pano minadali. There were congressmen who were asking why the rush pero wala ring nangyari, naipasa din sya
eh kahit naman Prime Minister nalang tayo instead of president - puro bugok pa din naman ang uupo.
ReplyDelete@humanbullshit - unfortunately that's true. We have very few choices and even if a new candidate comes in and seeks a position in a government, wala ring kwenta kasi yung mga nakapaligid e panay bad apples...hinde naman tayo pwedeng mag-total revamp...hayyyy...kaya minsan naiintindihan ko yung mga ayaw bumoto
ReplyDeletekorek!
ReplyDeletesabi nga sakin ng tatay ko (nung nanalo si Gloria 2nd term)...sana may bumagsak daw na asteroid sa pilipinas para ulit lahat. matira matibay. maupo kung sino karapat-dapat. kasi ang dami na daw nakabaon (political dynasties)...
(holy shit, are we really having a normal/serious discussion?! Apir!)
nakow, di na ako nakakapanood ng news! busy mode kase ako this past few days and the coming days! may inaasikaso lang that would change my life forever. hehe.
ReplyDeletewag magalala, bibisita pa rin ako paminsan minsan! hehe.
@humanbullshit - I know! It only proves that bloggers are also people who care about the country. We are aware that somehow we can make a difference
ReplyDelete@Ax - cge lang...daan ka ulit...at talagang "that would change my life forever" ha? mag-aasawa ka na?!
hindi ko alam yan con as chuva na yan...waaah!dami ko ng na-missed na event...
ReplyDeletehmmmm.. i therefore conclude na ang maaga matulog naiiwanan ng balita..haaays
@azul...hehehe natawa naman ako sa last sentence mo...hayaan mo, malamang-lamang e madadaanan na sya ng ABS at GMA. Strange, no newspaper men were inside the hall during the entire session
ReplyDelete"Strange, no newspaper men were inside the hall during the entire session"
ReplyDeletehuh?ibig sabihin tulog din sila nun?toinks!hehe etchos lang...hmmmm i smell something malansa..
@azul - either tulog sila or hinde pinapasok (I'm basing this on the tweets made by those who were present). Some were even asked to leave na kahit hinde pa tapos yung session. There were even congressmen who were asking why some people are nt being let in inside the hall.
ReplyDeletekikay, ang puso mo! easy ka lang! ayaw mo nun? parang puro showbizness na lang ang pilipinas? hehehe.
ReplyDelete@ Doc Mike - ahehehe...kainis talaga e....kaka-high blood
