In a plot twist worthy of a teleserye, certain senators have magically decided that due process is so passé—especially when it comes to the impeachment trial of Sara Duterte. With the subtlety of a bulldozer in a tiangge, covert moves are underway to dismiss the trial faster than a session adjournment after lunch. Bravo!

But here’s a wild idea: instead of dismissing the trial, why not dismiss the puppeteers behind this constitutional circus? The Filipino people are taking attendance—and guess what? We see you, Senator Spinmaster, and your fellow Defenders of the Dynasty.

If the Senate won’t uphold accountability, perhaps it’s time the people gave you a proper dismissal. Yes, senators, class dismiss! And unlike your backdoor deals, this one comes with no exit pass. Bring snacks next time; democracy’s long, but karma has better timing.
