Things got even more interesting. Bayan Muna Congressman Neri Colmentares is standing his ground that Section 10 of the draft People’s Initiative law is constitutional.
Earlier, I wrote a piece asking – Is the draft law being pushed through a People’s Initiative unconstitutional?
Former Congressman Teddy Casiño posted the following on his blog:
“In the interest of clarifying concerns regarding the constitutionality of the proposed PI bill abolishing the pork barrel system, I’m posting Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares’ memo on the controversial Section 10 of the said bill.”
THE SOVEREIGN POWER OF THE PEOPLE TO PASS A LAW: Beyond Congressional Power of Repeal and Presidential Power of Veto
By Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares
August 25, 2014Introduction
Section 10 of the proposed bill of the peoples initiative provides that:
SEC. 10. Amendment or repeal of this Act. This Act may only be repealed, modified or amended by a law that has been approved by the people under the system of initiative and referendum enshrined in the 1987 Constitution
Certain concerns were raised on whether Section 10 could withstand a constitutional challenge thereby endangering the peoples initiative. The concern is once the Comelec grants the petition and schedules a referendum, the constitutionality of the bill is ripe for adjudication by the Supreme Court who in turn, may strike down Section 10 and declare that the law abolishing the pork barrel system may be repealed by Congress in its ordinary exercise of legislative powers.
Section 10 is constitutional as explained below, and even if, in the unlikely event that it is declared unconstitutional, the law passed through people’s initiative remains valid, since the procedural provision on how the law can be repealed has no relation at all with the substantive provisions of the law prohibiting pork barrel.
The traditional concept in the Philippine Constitution, and in probably all Constitutions of representative governments throughout the world, is that the power to legislate belongs to the legislature, whether a Congress or a Parliament. The legal notion of a direct democracy type of legislation through a peoples initiative has not achieved widespread practice in many countries today. While there are initiative laws that allow for legislation at a state, provincial or cantonal level, such as the United States or Switzerland, there is probably no country other than the Philippines that allows for a peoples initiative to pass a national legislation. Many lawyers, therefore, find it difficult to automatically apply the traditional legal principles and jurisprudence they are familiar with on such a novel legal notion that possibly sprung from the direct democracy that was practiced in the early days of the Greek states but was abandoned a long time ago.
The power of the people to pass a national law is a new provision in the Philippine Constitution. None of the previous Constitutions, including the Malolos Constitution, provided for the power of initiative. There is no existing jurisprudence applicable on the conduct of a people’s initiative to pass a national legislation especially on whether Congress can repeal a law passed through a peoples initiative. The existing jurisprudence such as the Lambino and Santiago cases did not touch on the issue of congressional repeal of a law passed by the people’s initiative. While no one can certainly predict how this issue would be resolved by the Supreme Court, the proponents of the initiative are quite confident that the Court will rule in favor of the letter, purpose and intent of the constitutional provision, and therefore rule in favor of the peoples initiative.
Issue: Can a national legislation passed through a people’s initiative be vetoed by the President? No, it cannot be vetoed by the President.
The Constitution while allowing two kinds of legislation, a law passed by Congress and a law passed through a peoples initiative, only allows veto in cases of laws passed by Congress under Article VI, Section 27. Otherwise, the intent of the Constitution of granting the people the power of initiative will be defeated especially since there is no way for the people to override the veto. A presidential veto cannot be exercised in the case of a legislative power to amend or repeal a law directly passed by the people. It is not countenanced under the Constitution. Besides, the Constitution expressly vested in Congress the provision of the procedure for a people’s initiative. In the absence of a provision on presidential veto, none can be used to nullify the exercise of people’s initiative.
Issue: Can Congress repeal a national legislation passed through a peoples initiative ? No, Congress cannot repeal a national legislation passed through a people’s initiative as it will violate the letter and spirit of the constitutional provision on initiative.
Ordinary or Plain Meaning (Textual) Approach
Firstly, the Constitution took out from congressional power the right reserved for the people to pass national legislation as provided under Section 1, Article VI which defined and limited the powers of Congress:
Section 1. The legislative power shall be vested in the Congress of the Philippines which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives, except to the extent reserved to the people by the provision on initiative and referendum.
The legislative power of Congress includes the power to pass, amend or repeal laws and Section 1 practically carved out from this legislative power of Congress the power of the people through initiative. To legislate means to enact statutes; it includes by necessary implication the power to amend or repeal them. To except is to exclude. Hence, excluded from the power of congressional legislation, in all this power’s aspects, are the national statutes enacted through the people’s initiative. This express exception directly tells Congress that the power reserved for the people through initiative is outside the penumbra of its legislative powers. The Constitution is consistent with its constitutional intent of granting the people the power to directly enact laws deemed necessary by the people or repeal laws which the people consider unjust or against the interest of the people.
Purpose and Scheme Approach
In the broader constitutional scheme, the congressional power to legislate is a “delegated power”. The sovereign people have the sole power to craft the Constitution and the laws that will govern a political entity. The people, however, delegated such power to Congress so that Congress may protect the people’s interest through legislation. But the people did not delegate that power totally, as the Constitution shows. Once the people believe that Congress failed to live up to this mandate, the people have all the right to override this delegated legislative power of Congress. The delegate cannot be empowered to simply override the powers exercised by its principal. This is the reason why members of Congress are called representatives, and it is absurd if the “Representatives” are allowed to subvert the will of those it represents.
A perusal of the cases involving people power shows that the acts of the sovereign have been recognized by the Supreme Court even if the same is not expressly provided in the Constitution. With more reason, the Supreme Court should recognize this sovereign power which is expressly declared in the Constitution.
The basis of the constitutional framers for the novel and unique provision on initiative was the experience of the people during martial law when the “Batasang Pambansa” which was under the control of the dictator Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, passed anti people laws to prop up the martial law regime. This was and remains the “grand mischief” that the 1987 Constitution seeks to address. This constitutional imperative asserts that when the people want to repeal a law passed by Congress or want to pass a law which Congress refuses to pass, the people have the power to repeal or pass a law without any intervention from Legislature and the Executive.
The above-quoted Section 10 is thus in response to very serious concerns raised by the people themselves about congressional circumvention of the people’s power to pass laws. During the campaign for signatures, there will be people who will ask whether Congress can simply nullify a law passed by the people’s initiative after all the months of difficult campaign and the millions of signature gathered. The people certainly have the right to ask if their signatures will have an important impact in the struggle for reforms or will be just another act of futility. If Congress is allowed to repeal the law passed by a peoples initiative, then the entire exercise may already be deemed a failure by many of those who support it. After all, the very reason why the people resorted to an initiative to abolish the pork barrel system is because Congress refuses and cannot be expected to pass such a law and will surely repeal such a law if passed.
The fact that Pres. Benigno Aquino in an innocuous provision in the proposed 2015 Budget redefined “savings” practically transforming the entire budget into DAP, only highlights the antagonism of both the executive and the legislative to the bill that seeks to abolish pork barrel in the likes of DAP. The entire people’s initiative could be rendered useless by the mere insertion of provisions in the annual General Appropriations Law that repeal the law passed by the people. This is totally unacceptable and there is no way that the people will not put in Section 10 in its proposed law. There is no way for the people to accept congressional repeal of a law passed by the people through hard work and extreme sacrifice. We might as well take out the constitutional provision on people’s initiative if this is the case.
Presumption against Absurdity
If Congress passes an unjust law and the people decide to repeal it, it is absurd if Congress is granted the power to revive that law resoundingly repealed by the people. If Congress is allowed to subvert a law passed through initiative, then the constitutional intent is subverted by the very institution which passed a law deemed unjust by the people. This absurdity practically makes the constitutional provision on the initiative a useless surplusage because an anti-people law which the people repealed is simply reinstated by Congress through a subsequent law. The constitutional provision on initiative is a tool not only to empower the people to override congressional legislation but also to serve as a warning to Congress that the people will override the delegated power given by the people to Congress if it fails to carry the interest of the people in the exercise of its legislative function. A law passed by the people is not “irrepealable” but it can not be repealed by its representatives in Congress but by the the very power that promulgated it—the people.
Conclusion
We seek to reiterate that a law passed through a peoples initiative is not an irrepealable law as it can be repealed by the another law also passed through a peoples initiative. What is prohibited is that Congress simply repeals a law passed by those it represents using its traditional powers of ordinary legislation. We have all been used to the traditional concept of a legislative power solely lodged in Congress, failing to recognize the significance of the unique power given by the Constitution to the people. Some will focus on the assertion that it is an attack on the traditional legislative power of Congress, if Congress is prohibited from amending or repealing a law passed through peoples initiative. Others will focus on the assertion that, on the contrary, it is an attack on the power of the people to pass a law if Congress is given the power to repeal it. The concern raised is legitimate, but the answer is clear—the people cannot put into the bill a provision that would surrender its rights and powers to Congress. It has to assert and defend its power to directly pass a law and the power to repeal it.
While tradition plays an important role in a legal system, it cannot be the recourse in the face of a novel legal notion that directly empowers the people to institute reforms. After all, as an esteemed criminal law professor once said, ‘There has got to be a better reason than tradition”.

It makes clear to me what I have hinted at in a previous post: that the Aquino/Cojuangco clan are hedging their bets by staying in Binay’s good graces if he wins. (If Pnoy is permitted to run in 2016 , Binay won’t be insulted – of course, blood is thicker than water.) And that Pnoy must have been consulted first of this strategic decision.

I bet binay had helped them in the past without thinking of extracting payback or rewards. that binay helped them because he wanted to, not because the siblings could be useful in the future and would be used for whatever purpose he has in mind.
I think, the siblings had already paid whatever debts they owed binay as they have campaigned for him many times over.
anyhow, PNoy’s siblings are not poltical and they do not speak for the populace.

Our UN peacekeeping Filipino soldiers fought the rebels at the Golan Heights.
“MANILA, Philippines – Syrian rebels engaged Filipino peacekeepers in a firefight in Golan Heights on Saturday, defense and military officials said.
Rebels attacked “Position 68″ around 6 a.m. Syrian time (around 11 a.m. Philippine time), Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said in a text message.
“Naka-extricate na ang position 69 and only position 68 now ang under attack [Position 69 has been extricated and it’s only position 68 now that is under attack],” he said.
“Mataas ang morale [Their morale is high],” Gazmin said, when asked how the troops were doing.
Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. confirmed this separately with INQUIRER.net.”

ay, our peacekeepers risk being held hostage, maybe even beheaded if they give up their arms. they may even be passed on to isis, the more exteme of rebels, once our peacekeepers surrender.
I applaud our peacekeepers for not giving up. also applaud their courage and tenacity. and I hope they receive back up soon with more arms and ammunition, more medical help if case some are wounded.

The question is: Why are the other senators NOT participating in the Senate Inquiry on the Binays? And also the newspapers, why are there no coverage of the Senate Inquiry? If there, it’s alwas a slant in favour of the Binays….. is that a sign of the riches of the Binays
Raissa, there should be another article on your EMBARASSMENT OF RICHES
but this time, on how an orphan who used to be a farmhand in his uncle’s piggery rose to become a VP and have children who are now Congresswoman, Senator and Mayor…. and have houses that have their own elevators…..
moonie says
some senators not participating, chit, they probably want to be seen as impartial, trying to see which way the wind is blowing. they may have opinions but are keeping those to themselves. maybe, they’re waiting for the right time to speak up, time which may or may not come at all. better speak up now, or hold their peace.
about that piggery, and blood being thicker than water, I doubt if uncle will just let orphan boy nephew be ordinary farmhand. most likely orphan boy nephew was asked to help out in the piggery instead of just lounging about and doing nothing. my bet is uncle sent orphan boy nephew to school and on vacations, orphan boy nephew help out in the family business.
of course, I think, raissa, has more volley on the matter.

Is the senate hearing a demolition job against the VP? An overpriced Yes! However, the issue raised against the Binays is valid. They must explain, and not just give a cold denial.
Why are the other senators not participating in the public hearing? Either, they are afraid of Binay or simply crooks protecting a fellow crook.

The cloak and dagger scenario behind the sacking of Cong Tiangco and designation of Gov Remulla as Binay spokesmen discovered by a spy.
Political ambitions. Revillas wanted to field one member of the family, Strike or Lani or Bong, if qualified, to run for Governor. Remulla wanted to run for senator, despite being NP under Binay sensing VP would be the front runner. Remulla needed exposure so he convinced the Revillas to float his name with Binay. They think it is win win for everybody if Remulla runs for senator, one Revilla will be candidate for governor and Binay gets assurance to carry Cavite, a rich vote province.
Tiangco (UNA spokesperson) was laid aside for 3 reasons. First, because according to survey done by Binay group, Toby is way down in the polls for senator, besides his usual answer that every move against Binay by his detractors or from the administration is politically motivated does not resonate anymore to the public.Secondly, the fact that Tiangco was prodding Binays to explain source of their presumed wealth which The VP contradicts. Latter plan was to force the investigators or inquisitors to file corruption charge with Ombudsman which his lawyers could delay indefinitely till after 2016 election compared to a senate investigation which is closer to unravelling the anomalous transactions in Makati for decades now. Thirdly, Binay group is going to abandon UNA because being associated with the names Enrile and Estrada is guillotine waiting to cut the head of Binay.
Control the media and the senate and attack the messengers immediately will be new strategy to buy time. Remulla has been tasked to pursue this end because of his political wit aside being a young political personality without national baggage on credibility compared to Cong Tiangco(remember he complained about his PDAF disbursement by Aquino administration).
The loser is Congressman Tiangco because he was deceitfully dumped without knowing the true reason until the other night. Was he furious!! He he he!
Parekoy says
If Remulla wanted to be Senator, then being Binay’s spokesperson is his dumbest move.
We have angry voters and anyone who is going to lie for Binay will be the first to feel the blow of reprisal.
Binay is so damaged that he needs the help of another Garci 2.0 applied to the Hocus PCOS in order to win.
Binay has expensive PR Machine so if they did not propose changing the spokesman and a makeover political party, then they don’t deserved the spread loot. It is inevitable to abandon UNA and form a new one. Forming new parties is not so novel, it was done so many times in the past. It is just the wrapping that will be changed but the rotten product with the stenched like a necrotizing cadaver can’t hide the fact that it is still the corrupt Binay with unexplained wealth and overpriced parking building baggages bulging and the wrapping drenched in fecal like matter!
I don’t feel sorry for Toby either, he is a lousy liar SOB anyway, so he deserves whatever he gets.
Nancy’s dumb reply on the proposed anti-dynasty law just nailed the coffin of his Daddy dearest. Maybe Nancy misses being his Daddy’s coffe girl that she is sabotaging him. As Rene-Ipil said, just give him enough rope and he will hang himself!
We have our different “manoks” for the Presidency but we are still handicapped because whoever wins will have too much power and the system remains rotten, thus the perpetuation of patronage and corruption.
So in order to at least level the playing field, I propose that we have a People’s Initiative for FOI and Anti-Dynasty laws. With these laws at least we have a fighting chance to curb blatant abuse of power and corruption!
lazir says
The accusations of graft and corruption against VP Binay and his family are so glaring and serious, that a mere general denial from the VP is an insult to us.
kalahari says
How true!!! The binay stench is so great it’s reaching far into high heavens.
How come no one is filing ill-gotten wealth against him by using binay’s filed SALNs viz-a-viz his known real properties and other acquisitions far beyond his entire salary from the government – his only source of income?
leona says
Ill-gotten wealth? The DILG headed by Mr. Mar Roxas is the appropriate agency to do that. But why is he not awake?
Local gov’t officials should be ‘Life Style Checked,” isn’t it? Let Binay VP complain but proceed with the check. The NBI can assist specially on documents of transactions unregistered or what.
Gising Mar!
lazir says
Binay hired Canadian political strategist David Rink. It was Rink who tapped Gov. Remulla to be Binay‘s spokesman for 2016 national elections. While, Tiangco serves as UNA‘s Sec. Gen. and spokesman. Also, Salceda remains part of Binay‘s mediacom.
Crispin Remulla will run for governor of Cavite.
So, because of the scandals confronting Binay now, he will have three spokemen, Remulla, Tiango and Salceda. Together, they were dubbed as the “three shades of gray“ due to color of their hair.
This is just plain and simple, political strategy hatched by Rink.
lazir says
error, not Salceda but Salgado.
Johnny Lin says
Hook line and sinker victim.
Binay Propaganda machine about “3 shades of gray” and David Rink reported at Manila Standard Today, owned by Romualdez family, mortal enemy of Mar Roxas and Aquino family.
MST well publicized columnists are Kit Tatad and Jojo Robles, erstwhile critics of PNoy and vocal media publicists of Binay, Estrada and Enrile.
Go figure!
lazir says
I will keep it simple for you.
In the last presscon of corrupt VP Binay, here are some verifiable facts.
Who prepared the statement of Binay? Joey Salgado.
Who handled the presscon? Jonvic Remulla.
Was Rep. Tiangco around during the Presscon? Yes.
Also, who issued a statement regarding NYT editorial about PNoy?Tiangco.
So, nextime you call me a victim, check your facts.
Did I commit an error when I said that Binay now has 3 spokesmen?
Just think first.. Anyway , I am just giving my opinion..
Binay is corrupt! Tatad is Lunatic.. And who cares about Jojo Robles.
Johnny Lin says
Don’t have problem with your opinion.
I did not watch the last Binay prescon, but I would assume since it was Binay who was center of attention, the 3 spokesmen were not referred prominently as ” 3 shades of grey”. The only place you could have read that piece was Manila Standard. The printed propaganda for “3 shades of grey” was not that they were classified good looking or “old men agreeing gracefully with their hair” but to refer to the proverb on “grey hair” that they exude”dignity” which is Goebelish propaganda.
Since you repeated “3shades of grey” quite distinctly in your opinion, my thinking is you were an unwitting victim of that pointed propaganda.
We travel on the the same directional track, though selecting to ride different trains.
lazir says
The problem is you judged me as if I accepted the propaganda of Binay‘s camp as gospel truth.
You called me a victim. Nowhere did I described the three exuding dignity, rather I mocked them just by having grey hair literally.
Anyway, this is part of giving comments in a blog, enough said.

I commented on your posting confirmed by your reporting.You repeated the reference “3 shades of grey” initially which you could only have been sourced from Manila Standard in my opinion.
Later you said your posting was taken out of context from a press on, which I commented with certainty that the 3 spokesmen were not center of attention referring to them as “3 shades of grey”. So where did you get that phrase to cite in your post?
I did not say that you said the 3 men are “dignified” I said the the printed propaganda for “3 shades of grey” was alluding to them as more of ” men of dignity rather than men with grey hair ageing gracefully”
When the PR publicist says “Kim Kardashian has bootylicious” and somebody repeats it non chalantly, it”s admiration, liking, loving or whatever. Certainly it’s not dislike or hatred. If it’s not true or a fact, then the person repeating becomes an unwitting victim to a “propaganda” of the celebrity’s publicist.
If you did not post “3shades of grey” with your opinion , I would not have commented.
No more, no less.

OFF-TOPIC BUT CURRENT – ON THE 2.2. BILLION PARKING BUILDING (KASI MAY SAVINGS NA 200 MILLION, ACCDG. TO THE VP) –
From the column of Mareng Winnie Monsod – PDI, today’s issue:
“There is only one sense in which that building could be called world-class—the informal sense, where something is world-class when it is considered to be a notorious example of its kind, as in: The building is an example of world-class overpricing.
Think of it. How can a building with six floors of parking (seven including the basement), four floors of office space, and one floor of storage cost P2.2 billion and change, unless it was overpriced?”

Rene-Ipil says
I am re-posting my previous comment on how the building contractor tried to cover up or hide the “world class overpricing” of MPB. The MBP building contractor foisted on the Filipino people the alleged 200% increase on the price of steel during the construction of the MPB. This was purportedly due to the on-going construction of the “bird’s nest” or the Beijing National Stadium.
August 28, 2014 at 6:52 pm
Mr. Henson of Hillmarc Construction Corp. testified under oath that the price of steel when they started the construction of MPB was 200% more than the normal price due to the construction of the Beijing National Stadium (BNS) at the time. But the DLS handbook shows in pages 44-45 that the price of structural steel moved from the normal level of PHP40 per kilo in mid-2007 to the highest level of PHP70 per kilo at the end of year 2007 before it started to go down in early 2008. So that the price of structural steel rose by about 75% only contrary to the sworn testimony of Mr. Henson.
Besides the BNS steel structure was already finished as of September 2007 as shown by its picture in the link below. On the other hand the MPB’s construction started in 2008. Moreover, “All 110,000 tons of steel were made in China.”
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing_National_Stadium
Clearly, Mr. Henson lied under oath to cover up the anomaly in the construction of the MPB.
moonie says
rene-ipil, building contractor probably got a cut and hefty commission, the proceeds not included in his saln. that would be reason enough for him to back up the ‘world class’ building, or his neck will be on the block.
sykes says
@moonie
doesn’t have to be a large amount. from what i’ve been told, as long as they make profit, say, a couple of million, contractors are ok with it. most tongpats would end up in politician’s pocket. at least ganyan ang kalakaran sa Makati. allegedly.
moonie says
and guess where VP earned his trade early on? chit navarro at 37.1 mentioned VP being farmhand sa piggery ng uncle niya. duon yata siya nag-umpisa at natutong mangulimbat. sanay sa pork, he, he, he. if only the uncle had checked the till now and then, he might have noticed some discrepancies in accounting.

People’s Initiatives: FOI and Anti-Dynasty Laws
I urge our CPM and our Taong Bayan to have the Real People’s Initiative, let us have the FOI and Anti-Dynasty Laws!
Why do we have to do it? We gave our politicians and even our most trusted president PNoy the chance to deliver us what we need to reform our government, but they are just toying with us.
PNoy said: Kawawa naman kaming mga pulitiko…
Belmonte said:No anti-dynasty law under PNoy. Nobody (house of representathieves belonging to Political Dynasty) else will agree with that.”
Another big loser if this Anti-Dynasty turned into law is the Binay Family. It is common knowledge that Belmonte supported VP Binay against Mar. For those who are not informed, Paquito Ochoa, who is now the Executive Secretary of PNoy, was the Kanang Kamay and Administrator appointed by Belmonte during his term as Mayor of QC. Ochoa is the known leader of Samar faction in Malacanang as well as the lead mole of Binay in the palace and always undermining PNoy’s reforms when the reforms affect Jojo Binay as well as anything that props up Mar.
I am calling all our brothers and sisters to support this PI. I suggest the untainted Leni Robredo to spearhead the PI since she is the one who sponsored FOI and she has the integrity to lead the legal process. Many patriotic politicians, civil organizations, and I think inevitably the Catholic Church with their unending meddling in state affairs will also ride on this issue, and the most important of all is the support of overwhelming Filipinos from all walks of life, no matter the demographics.
We can repeat the saying:
Tama Na!, Sobra Na! ang pangloloko ng mga Political Dynasties!
Kung susupilin nyo ang aming Inisyatibo, kaming Taong Bayan ang magtatanggal sa inyo sa pwesto, buhay man o patay!
Kawawa na tayo, wala ng taga-pagtanggol, kailangan huwag na tayong umasa kahit na kay PNoy iniwan na tayo sa kangkongan dahil sya mismo ay hindi naaawa sa atin. Hindi na tayo mga bata, may wasto naman tayong pag-iisip at alam na walang tutulong sa atin kundi tayo rin, meron naman tayong mga kamay na pwedeng gamitin sa pag lagda ng ating mga pangalan sa petisyon, at pag binaboy ng mga Kurap na Pulitiko ang ating adhikain, ang parehong kamay ay pwede ring gamitin sa pagkitil ng kanilang mga buhay!

Article II. State xxx Policies:
PI for anti-dynasty law . . .”Section 26. The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law.”
PI for FOI “Section 24. The State recognizes the vital role of communication and information in nation-building.”
Only one at a time for people’s Initiative. Which of the two first?
(A) Will Congress pass the ‘necessary BUDGET’ for such PI expenses for the COMELEC to proceed with it?
(B) What about the TIME needed?
(A) is crucial…budget by Congress and Executive departments.

leona says
“In an interview on Bombo Radyo aired on Thursday, Aquino said his administration has been nothing but transparent. He emphasized he is not against the bill but said there are still things the bill is lacking.
“All we said is, ‘These are what we need see there,’ and we’ve told Congress about them a while back. So if you have an issue, maybe it’s Congress you need to go, not us,” he said.”
Not much interested on FOI. ‘Maybe it’s Congress you need to go [to], not [to] us.” PNoy says.
Hasta kailan baby!
[Rappler, Aug. 28/14]
leona says
On the anti-dynasty bill,
“But the bill has drawn a mixed reaction from the senators.
Senators Nancy Binay, Cynthia Villar and Senate Majority Alan Peter Cayetano said they saw nothing wrong in having relatives in public as long as they were doing their jobs.
They also voiced concern about restricting the choice of the voting public.
But neophyte Senator JV Ejercito, the son of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada and a half brother of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, said he would support the bill if there was a clamor for it.
Senator Sonny Angara said he would support the bill if it was up to the first or second degree of consanguinity. He is the son of former Senate President Edgardo Angara and his relatives occupy positions in his hometown province of Baler.
The Senate is packed with senators who are either sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, wives or husbands of politicians.”
Packed in congress, Lower and Upper Houses.
Packed in Local Gov’ts.
How many ‘spouses/wives,’ and how many ‘children’ each politico has? More than 2 families, di ba?
The proposed bill seems to be up to only the ‘2nd degree’ of blood relationship including affinity [legal and illegal]. That is ‘descending [downward]. How about ‘ascending [ upwards] ?
Why not ‘within the 4th degree’ blood relationship which covers ‘1st cousins’? And ‘In-law’ relationship to ‘any’ degree too?

Si Drilon (Balay faction) ayon sa Anti-dynasty dahil afectado si Binay. Pero sabi nya suportado ni PNoy eh sabi ni PNoy eh naaawa sya sa mga pulitiko? Ano ba talaga. Alangan naman na nagpapapogi sya, eh may salamin naman sya?
Si Belmonte (Samar faction) ayaw dahil yari ang pamilya Binay.
Yung Villar at Cayetano ayaw din dahil afectado yung pamilya nila saka mga kasamahan nila sa partido.
Si JV ayon dahil ayaw na nyang makabalik si Jinggoy sakaling makalabas ng hawla. Syempre papogi rin si JV para yung tao eh kakampi sa lanya pero alam nya sa partido
UNA at kahit administrasyon ay kontra at ayaw ipasa.
Si Angara tulad din ni JV, papogi rin.

moonie says
pass the anti-dynasty law and only the good families will be affected. they’re the ones likely to obey and follow. the bad ones will just evolve and likely to go underground. at the moment, the bad ones are out in the open, we know who they are, know how they look like, where they lived and what they do. once underground, they become harder to trace, become faceless, anonymous but can easily field their own candidates, supported by them, mentored by them and paid by them. they will be faceless, but still dictating behind the scenes, still the powers that be, still their agenda out there. faces may change, but agenda and policies may still be the same. that’s my opinion.
what I mean is that we should not just depend on anti-dynasty law to keep dynasties in check. it should not lull us into believing that once passed, things will run smoothy, be okay.
if passed however, anti-dynasty law should be back up by strong election laws. no vote buying, no overspending, no multiple voting, etc.
Parekoy says
Ang purpose nito ay para to force the issue.
Nadridribol sa kongreso yung FOI, bakit? Kung ayaw nila di tayo ang gumawa ng PI para sa FOi. Bakit tayo aasa, eh kahit si PNoy ayaw suportshan ang pagprioritise na i-push sa kongreso. Sa setup natin kung gusto ng Pangulo eh yung mga tuta nya kongreso eh umaaksyon. Eh di gumagalaw di tayo ang gumalaw.
Yung anti-dynasty bill parang patay na rin dahil mas naawa si PNoy sa kanyang kapwa political dynasts.
Ang point ko ay yung loyalty natin ay dapat sa Taong Bayan. Kung si PNoy ay loyal sa kanyang mga kapwa pulitiko pag dating sa usaping Anti-Dynasty eh saling ito sa interes natin. Sino pa ang gagalaw? Alangan naman na nganga na lang tayo.
Iba na ang panahon ngayon, pinatatalsik na ang mga abusado at manloloko sa Taong Bayan. Suportado natin si PNoy sa pagpakulong ng mga kurap dahil iyon naman talaga ang dapat, pero hindi naman tayo bulag na follower, syempre matatalino na rin tayo at alam na ang bulok na kalakaran. So tayo dapat walang sinasanto kahit na sino pag yung ating interes at karapatan ay niyuyurakan.
Sana maging mensahe ito sa mga pulitko na bago na ang panahon sa mundo, yung mga abusado pag hindi tumino at e dapat lang patalsikin, may latay man o patay. Baka gusto nilangbsubukan ang bagong
Pilipino! Sana hindi sila matulad kay Gadaffi at Saddam Hussein…

Patula tula lang pag may time
SI SENORITO MAR bow
Si Senorito Mar ay mabait na tao.
Hindi siya matakaw at hindi siya magnanakaw
Palibhasa laking mayaman
Nasanay siyang lubos na inaalagaan.
Hindi man siya hari, ang hilig niya ay di binabali.
Sa kanyang pagkabata, aruga siya ng mga alila
Sa kanyang pagtanda, agapay niya ay mga alalay
Mapalad talaga si Senorito Mar.
Di niya alam kung paano magutom.
Wala siyang muang kung ano ang magtiis
Pagkat kung kailangan, makakaupa siya ng tagapag tiis
Hindi niya kasalanan na maging ganito,
At di naman siya dapat sisihin sa kapalarang ito.
Ngunit ano ang nakain ni Senorito?
Nais daw niya na maging muchacho
At maglingkod sa mga tao
Busilak man ang kanyang kalooban,
Ano ang alam niya sa mundong ordinaryo?
Paano kaya ang amo ay susunod sa tao?
Kapag may gagawin,
sino ang gagawa kundi ang kanya ring tagagawa?
Makilatis kaya niya ang hinaing ng marami
sa kinasanayan niyang bulong ng tagasulsol?
Pag sumigaw ng “bigas!” ang taumbayang nagugutom
Pakakainin lang ba niya sila ng puto?
Pagkat iba ang pananaw ng taong busog sa taong gutom
Mabait si Senorito Mar pero alam kaya niya
Ang saloobin ko?
Tapos na ang pagka-alipin ko at ayoko din maging amo.
Sapat na ang maging
Pantay pantay tayo.

yes, it’s empathy. many rich people have empathy, they sponsor poor schoolars, support charities and give aid and feed the needy. some rich people volunteer their services for free.
empathy is not just the domain of the poor, though may mga poor dyan na walang empathy sa kapwa poor at ninanakawan pa, niloloko.

What Grace Poe’s handlers did was brilliant.
She did not do what Mar did, which was faking the carrying of a cavan of rice.
She rode the MRT to experience for herself what the masa faces in going to work: no trains, delay, jampacking, 4 hours to get to and from work.
“I feel your pain.”
Brilliant move by the baka-Manchurian-candidate!

Q. Are you Mr. Espirity still bidding for the MRT? Answer: Yes Ma’am. Hanep buhay kami Ma’am.
Q. Are you accepting the blame for the MISERY of the MRT performance? Answer: No Ma’am.
