It is very possible that plunder cases will be filed vs Sen. Cayetano. Little by little the opposition to the majority are being silenced and the obstacles the votes to defeat impeach Sara Duterte are falling by the wayside. Shall we expect more?
It was reported that there would soon be 5 Tulfos in the governement, 3 Villars. at the Senate. There are 2 Ejercitos too, 2 Cayetanos. We are still waiting for the Dutertes to come forward as announced prior. Then the Marcoses: BBM, Imee, Sandro, Romuladez. We do not know the extent of dynasties in the province: Ortega, Espino, Singson, Ampatuan, Daza, Hernandez, Suarez, Lagman, Co and many more.
What else is new. This happens despite the constitutional provision against political dynasties. This is the ideal as in US. But then we have to admit we are not US
So far several Congresses have failed to pass enabling laws, despite the huge number of legislators enabling legistlation to control dynasties.
When we look at the Roman empires, the norm of the day was having family dynasties ruling Rome. Leadership were passed on from parent Emperors to their children.
The political system with Anti Dynasty provision notwithstanding is characterized by families lording it over the entire country. It is a Yap Territory, Tan territory, bailwick of __________; They have been running politics in this province since this is time immemorial.
It is like having a monarchial, family system running hte country. So at Senate we have family members:
1. Cayetano - Pia and Allan;
2. Villar - Mother and son
3. Estrada - Jinggoy and JV
Thats 6 out of 24 posts held by families
Had Binay made it, it would have been 4
Is it good for the country? So far we know it is good for their families, especially if they have business interest to protect
So what do we expect? Its all in the family?
How can we in sincerity defending the constitution. That we are patriotic
The Philippine Drug War and the political intramural has made to the international laundrymat: Christiane Amanpour interviewed Senators Leila de Lima and Peter Alan Cayetano regarding the spate of EJ killings in the country that are related to the drug war. Sen de Lima denounced the killings as summary execution; Sen Cayetano defended the President.
This post frowns on the de Lima denunciation. What could have been a purely domestic quarrel has reached the international arena and has put the country and its leadership in bad light. In a way the grudge war with the President has escalated and in the balance of power, she could be the mega loser A netizen, certain Inocencio has denounced the lady Senator for bringing down the country and its leadership name in the international community. While everybody strives to bring good name for the country, a supposed leader a Senator has done this great disservice to the country
Is change really coming?
Rizal Philippines
March 12, 2016
The other day, March 10, 2016, there was a gathering, plenty of chairs, sounds, a projector screen at about 5 pm in Wawa Lakeside Park in our town. There was music and lot of announcement. There was an announcement and invitation for raffle. Lo and behold, it was daw a gathering for Duterte and Cayetano.
And so we waited that the program would start at 6 pm. Then it was 7 pm. We waited with bated breath.
Lo and behold it was only a film showing of the life of Sen Alan Peter Cayetano.
"That government should be government of laws rather than of men" Thus runs one of the Jaycee creed.
However despite the constitutional provision on the contrary, a number of public officials have declared that there is nothing wrong with political dynasty: the Cayetanos, the Angaras, etc. to name a few. How about the Ynares of Rizal, the Tans of Samar, the Revillas of Cavite, the Ejercitos of Laguna, Dy of Isabela, the Binays.
Are we taking our laws, our constitution seriously. Or poliloko tayo?
