SCRAP HR 1109. Let Arroyo finish her term in 2010.

I’m not a lawyer. I have not studied the Philippine Constitution in depth, either. I cannot talk about the constitutionality of the constituent assembly but I believe that the House Resolution that paves the way for the Constituent Assembly is nothing but the administration’s show of strength as it holds the loyalty of the majority of the members of the House of Representatives. How else could they take advantage of the number of congressmen on their side than to use it to spur Charter Change that may extend Arroyo’s term?

I have talked to someone who fought against Marcos and she told me that she is seeing today the same game that the late President played more than two decades ago. She also told me that the people behind the Arroyo administration today are old-timers in the game called manipulation.

I can see greed.

What actually prompted me to write this post was an article on Philippine Daily Inquirer that quoted Executive Eduardo Ermita saying that we should keep mum about the Con-Ass and observe if it really has something to do with the upcoming elections.

What the hell is he talking about? He wants the people to keep quite in the corner and wait for doom to come! Come on, we’ve been through this before. The Filipino people will never again let the ghosts of the Marcos dictatorship haunt us again.
