I really find it very astounding how badly our congressmen want to change our Constitution. Imagine, the insensitivity of shortcutting all the procedures, in a time when part of our country is just reeling from a terrible calamity, all in the middle of the night while everyone else is sleeping. Unbelievable. And they will be back at it by this afternoon. I wonder how things will turn out. These are the times I’m actually counting on the opposition to represent all those who dissent this incredulously dubious feat. Sometimes I’d force myself to suspend all doubts and believe that all his efforts are indeed selfless acts for the country. But, I’m sorry, I just can’t. Apologies to my friend and high school classmate for these dissenting opinion and such against his father.

They want it so bad
Posted on 12.06.06 by Bikoy @ 10:29

I really find it very astounding how badly our congressmen want to change our Constitution. Imagine, the insensitivity of shortcutting all
the procedures, in a time when part of our country is just reeling from a terrible calamity, all in the middle of the night while everyone else is
sleeping. Unbelievable. And they will be back at it by this afternoon. I wonder how things will turn out. These are the times I’m actually counting
on the opposition to represent all those who dissent this incredulously dubious feat.
I have not against a systematic overhaul of our
political system. But if these congressmen will be the same parliamentarians in the new order–then, there is no new order. This, aside from other
less discussed issues within the proposed amendments, is what makes me oppose Charter Change, as proposed by the House of
Representatives.

During high school, whenever Speaker Jose de Venecia would be present at class gatherings, he would be made to talk, and
when you make him talk, all he talks about are the virtues of a parliamentary form of government. When we had a class outing at their Pangasinan
estate, he talked to us over merienda and, yes, he talked about the parliamentary form of government, aside from propping up the candidacy of
President Gloria Arroyo. This was three years ago. And even when I browse through newspaper archives at the main library (for amusement, I’m weird
like that), it appears that Mr. de Venecia has been at it for more than a decade.
Sometimes I’d force myself to suspend all doubts and believe
that all his efforts are indeed selfless acts for the country. But, I’m sorry, I just can’t. Apologies to my friend and high school classmate for
these dissenting opinion and such against his father.
