Arrogantly Insensitive, Patently Manipulative

Tyranny of Numbers blatantly disguised as rule of majority. This is how the majority coalition in the House of Representatives has railroaded their self-serving interests in a house resolution calling for the reconstitutin of the House into a Constituent Assembly (Con-Ass). Truth is, they have not even had the finesse of a disguise. Their tyranny is so pronounced you will be convinced these morons are even proud of their arrogance. They remind me of how the mob practically lynched our Lord Jesus Christ into being crucified.

The height of arrogance of these so-called representatives to actually stay overnight for two consecutive days just to ensure the approval of the Con-Ass plot but neglect the more important and immediate need of our citizens in Bicol region wh o are still reeling from the devastation of the combined terror of super typhoon Reming and the deposited pyroclastic materials in the slope of majestic Mayon Volcano.

I would have applauded these tyrants had they spent the two overnight sessions to deliberate how they could have help ameliorate the people of Bicol region, by the way is among the most depressed regions of the Philippines despite the centuries-touted tourism potential of the region.

I only see one thing in this latest abuse of power by these representatives - they are arrogantly insensitiv to the real plight of our people. instead, they dilute the condition of our people with their perceived demands of the people. The Bicol victims surely are not interested in the Con-Ass, not even before the calamity, moreso after the tragedy. The members of the majority coalition in the House of Representatives have been consistent in their patent manipulation of how Congress should behave.

Now, must we wonder why these tyrants wouldn't want an elections in 2007. Remember what happened to the vaunted Republican Party in the US? After more than a decade of similar tyranny because of their sheer strength in numbers, they are booted out by the American electorate in both chambers of the US Congress. And George Junior is now a lameduck president. GMA wouldn't want that for herself too.
