elections is one of any individuals right to express their vote and be counted in a democratic form of government. con-ass only speaks of democracy in the relm of a particular corrupt group who wishes to extend and prolong power.

CON-ASS PARLIAMENT form of government is but NUMBERS GAME. even if they say its democratic as well. lakas and kampi merger is but a move to even increase their numbers…

its like bad against good (lakas/kampi vs. opposition (a numbered few)

speaker nograles may deny that extending gma’s term is not an issue but once it gets approved they will ofcourse tho all what it takes to make it happen… THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS RIGHT. SO WHO CAN STOP THEM NOW!!!!

am sad….PERSONAL MOTIVES DO HAVE FAST WAY INTO GETTING APPROVED…while priority bills and laws for the poor and the masses and for the country becomes last priority… another proof of HOW WRONG MALADJUSTED CORRUPT OUR COUNTRY IS.. CONSIDERING ITS THE ONLY CHRISTIAN NATION IN THE WHOLE OF ASIA THAT IS CATHOLIC.

their selfish acts have eaten them……
i admire the oppositiion (not all some just want publicity for the upcoming elections if there will be)

there is no more hope for the philippines… same people rule…

bayani fernando and some others may be our last hope for change… but knowing the ulterior motives of this corrupt people…. BF doesnt have the chance to win… his good intentions and the light he has may not be enough to diminish the spread of evil in our government…..

the poor had been overly abused by politicians … and they are misused as well….

even if gma steps down.. her alies are all there… same people same faces… her evil remnants are still there… so this so called cancer of corruption and evil will still continue….

POOR 3RD WORLD COUNTRY… a thrashy government we have…

Cut you where you’re wrong kalabog, para di ka kumalabog.

A resolution is a resolution, a bill is a bill.

They are not the same. Copy or choose not to?

Taxpayers’money going to social programs is the legitimate approach. (This is among the points of Krauthammer above, I thought — with Congress (elected representatives of the people) arguing and screaming and negotiating and finally agreeing on policies re TAXATION and government budgets.)

The problem is “Robin Hood”-ism……… expropriation, not by the government, but by goons.

Bong,

Found the YouTube vid on the Committee hearing were 1109 was approved on 1st reading but over objections of Golez who was objecting to the absence of a Committee on Rules report.

I spoke to Rep. Golez today at the FB Bloggers Eyeball on the campaign vs Con-Ass.

He says 3 hearing were held by Re. Victor Ortega but up until HR 1109 was railroaded NO committee report had actually been released nor was thetre are proper floor sponsorship of the Reso!

Susme.

and what else can you expect from the ex con con delegate and the ex vice president? as to fr. bernas, i know he is a jesuit priest from ateneo who is supposed to be learned in the law. but still, his words, like yours and mine, are not law.

i told you, relying on “opinions”, other than that of the supreme court, or the provision of the constitution itself, is dangerous. i think i have an idea of these 2 deans, 1 congressman and an ex doj sec. that you said you have consulted. i also have an idea about their politics. anyway, let them be counsels or amici curia and file their briefs when a proper case is brought in court. meanwhile, the situation calls for extreme sobriety, not bellicose rhetoric.

Further Atty. Ben, witness below Prime’s accurate paraphrase to 1987 Constitution framer Fr. Joaquin Bernas, Dean Emeritus of the Ateneo Law School:

“…Bernas rightly pointed out, HR 1109 must pass like any other bill under a bicameral legislature.”
