I just can’t help but remember those days when every day Mom and I would sit in front of the television and watch the impeachment proceedings of Chief Justice Renato Corona back in the first quarter of 2012. Notebook in hand, I would take notes and blog about it later. I even encountered a student who commented that she was looking for some analysis on the hearings and found my blog. They probably studied them in school too and maybe copying and pasting was the easiest way.
They keep comparing the removal of chief Justice Sereno via a Quo Warranto which was deemed unconstitutional. Corona was given his day in court while CJ Sereno did not even have the chance to defend herself. Those justices who voted her out are all tentacles of the present administration.
Perhaps the whole world knows about the president’s penchant for cursing and demeaning women, not respecting other people having different opinions from him. He called them his enemies and of course those who he appointed in office some of whom have been lately discovered dealing in anomalous transactions. A foreign secretary who is “bulag, pipi at bingi“. A biased ear won’t listen and he would keep silent on things that need his decisions.
It is so frustrating when every day you would read something unpalatable, add that to the fact that the president is kowtowing to China preferring the exorbitant interests on the country’s loans from the latter. The Philippine peso exchange rate is at its lowest in 12 years. That TRAIN (Republic Act RA 10963 or Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion) law which according to a senator didn’t even read before signing is a heavy burden to us all ordinary citizens. Just imagine the price of gasoline and basic commodities jacking up beyond the reach of the poor and ordinary citizens.
I wish I could just concentrate on my gardening and reading but one can’t help but be affected in one way or another. I hate to do political blog but as they say in Tagalog, “sukdulan na”. It is nearing the end of the rope.
Where are we going Philippines???
