There’s a most sensible proposal to protect Filipinos from the current global spread of the killer mutant influenza strain called A(H1NI).
Given how 50 or so congressmen found it more important to fly to Vegas to watch how Manny Pacquiao took out Ricky Hatton the entire House membership should be placed under quarantine.
The worry is that a still unknown number of these lawmaking-boxing aficionados have already been able to slip back into Manila possibly carrying the deadly virus.
So it stands to reason that as health authorities have asked PacMan to postpone his return to Manila, they our honourable congressmen are duty bound to subject themselves to self quarantine.
One conundrum is the revelation of party-list congresswoman Risa Baraquel that taxpayers lose PhP20-M everytime Congress doesn’t have a quorum!
But putting Congress under quarantine is fine given the higher importance of public health.
Anyway, not a few Filipinos think of their non-performing lawmakers as either crocodiles, or swine (given their huge pork barrel funds).

What do farm veterinarians do when the livestock is infected? It is more practical and cost effective to euthanize!
Does quarantine mean the same with “Confinement in jail throughout their years of stay in this earth”?
But, I agree to blackshama, euthanasia is better off..
Irking that they can abandon their posts just to a boxing bout.. Pity to Philippines..
Send Euthanasia doctors to the National Assembly…
wait.. euthanasia is “mercy killing”, isn’t it?
Why have MERCY for them?? Massacre!
*watch a boxing bout
These Swines are now walking in the National Assembly on their
hindfeets. These people are irresponsible. They spent our money
for their entertaiments.
What riles me is how those world travelers go to Vegas at our expense to wine, dine and watch a boxing msatch.
Now they return home, all potential carriers of a mutant killer virus.
Do we know if they themselves have not mutated? The gall of these peeps.
