Antonio Trillanes, failed mutineer turned Senator of the Republic, has decided to play for all the marbles. After holing up in the Manila Peninsula with about 30 soldiers, he has asked the public to choose between him and the President.
I get the sense that this pseudo-mutiny or quasi-coup will not end peacefully.

I believe, however, that the current system can be fixed by going back to the 2-party system (through a Constitutional amendment) and maybe clipping the powers of the President. But it appears that no one trusts whoever will attempt to fix with the Constitution.

another solution is to have a runoff election……
ang mga kandidato 2 times gagastos, mandadaya, etc……
kaso, baka doble kurakot din……..

I am amused by the discussions between two of the most intelligent bloggers in this blog site. Both articulating the fine points of morality, one condemning a perceive corrupt administration, the other defending it. We could learn so much from the two of them.

pagkaalam ko yung survey is about petty bribery……….
kung baka eh pepetyuging suhulan, pang yosi lang ang involved…….
iba naman yung mga nanyayari sa ating gobyerno, aminin man o hindi, bigtime yon, “M” ang pinag uusapan…….
kung baga basic lang yung naipamumukat ng ibang magulang, pag kinareer ng bata, kaiilangan niyang mag masters……..
si erap lang yata ang walang masters kaya nasentensyahan……….
