THERE are obvious reasons why this former priest is thankfully now an ex-priest.
He will bite the hand that feeds him. He is no more than a stir-the-pot-type person. He knew coming in that politics is what it is — and why is it that now he is claiming to be the holy one. The Mister Clean?

The issue of charter change is most welcome. We are the only country in the Far East that has a US style government.
Where are we now in terms of economic progress? This type of government is not applicable to us Filipinos as we indulge ourselves in too much politics that is counter productive to economic progress.
Look at our Neighbors, specifically Thailand. The President can always dissolve the Parliament headed by the Prime Minister.
Why not give a chance to Federalism?
We have experienced for so long the Bicameral System. We should learn from
this experience. We Filipinos need to have self discipline first and foremost. If after adopting the Unicameral System for say 10 years and still we will be on the
same level economically, then we as Filipinos have always an option.

sus, ginoo! you must be missing the point of the issue. We must band together to create a dent on Phil politics if you are in a far land. They (politicians) are doing irregular bad things (cold cash gifts to avoid paper trail). So better come up with solutions to be heard and not only read. I do not know the solution but something from those in the far and wealthy land should be done. What daya think? bro

i admire mr. panlilio for doing what he thinks is JUST right. how many honest people we have now in the government who is willing to return P500,000??? not many…
we need more of him. is there any way we can clone him so we can have more like him in the government???
more power to you Mr. Panlilo!!! hope your tribe grow.

Mabuti nga may lider pa tayong ganyan, kesa naman sa mga nasa Malacanang, lalo na yung press secretary, ano ba ang pangalan non BUNGE or BUNYE, puro kasinungalingan ang sinasabi sa taong bayan.
