Did Senator Bato Dela Rosa Skip His Civics Lessons In School?

Leave a comment

Oh, how the world turns indeed. Senator Bato dela Rosa, the same man who once embodied iron-fisted loyalty to his former boss, now stands at the altar of irony, calling for President Bongbong Marcos to step into the curious case of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

Remember when Bato, in his heyday as PNP chief, would have scoffed at any senator meddling in his affairs, crying out for that sacred “separation of powers”? Now, here he is, seemingly forgetting the constitution he swore to uphold, urging presidential intervention like it’s a mere weekend errand.

Perhaps, the senator missed a few pages of his civics book during his ascent to political stardom. Or perhaps, the allure of bending principles to fit the moment is just too tempting. It’s always amusing when the mighty guardians of law and order play fast and loose with the very rules they once held dear.

Leni Robredo‘s Advice To Congressman Richard Gomez: “Hop on a Bus!”

Leave a comment

Leni Robredo Offers Groundbreaking Advice to Congressman Richard Gomez: “Hop on a Bus!”

In a stunning turn of events, former Vice President Leni Robredo has revolutionized Philippine traffic management with a single, earth-shattering suggestion. After Congressman Richard Gomez aired his grievances about being stuck in EDSA traffic, Robredo delivered her advice with the precision of a seasoned public servant: “Sumakay ka na lang ng bus.”

This profound statement has reportedly left Gomez speechless, as the congressman-actor had yet to consider the radical idea of public transportation. Experts believe this could be the start of a new era, where high-ranking officials are seen mingling with the masses on buses—perhaps even debating bus lanes while on board!

Critics are already hailing Robredo’s suggestion as the most innovative traffic solution since the invention of carpooling. Gomez, however, has yet to comment, possibly busy scouting for his nearest bus stop.

Lawmakers As Judges, Resource Persons As Suspects?

Leave a comment

Ah, the glorious spectacle of our Senate and House investigations! It’s a modern-day gladiator arena where the “honorable” legislators sharpen their tongues, ready to pounce on any poor soul who dares to show up. 

“Invited” resource persons are damned if they don’t show up and damned if they do. So what gives?

These resource persons, some not even suspects but mere informants, quickly find themselves in the hot seat, sweating under the studio lights as they’re grilled like it’s a cook-off. You’d think these public servants signed up for a reality show instead of public service, what with the way they flex their authority on national TV.

Sometimes we wonder whether these Congressional hearings are really “in aid of legislation.”  It seems our lawmakers are trying to hone their skills in case one day they become judges or attorneys in a real court of law.  Some do better than others. The spectrum runs between the compassionate and respectful to the arrogant and all-knowing, deciding for themselves that a witness is lying more than invoking the right to remain silent for fear of self-incrimination.

Perhaps next time, these resource persons should come dressed as superheroes to remind our esteemed solons of their actual duties. It seems they might need a little reminder that their roles involve more than just grandstanding for the cameras.
