QUESTION: How many Philippine senators does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 24 plus their assistants.
I can only observe with distress why nothing ever gets resolved in this country. Malacañang says they will not attend Senate hearings unless the Senate publishes the rules.
How many debates will we have over radio and television? How many statements to the press will we hear? How many bombastic and self-righteous remarks are we away from resolving this?
Maybe I just have a simple mind, but if the rules are already there, then just publish it so we can get moving on these investigations. Isn’t that the simplest, most direct step to take? Can these supposedly learned and principled men for once just do things right?
Just publish the damn rules and get it over with! What is so difficult with that?

to missy.. if u really want to fight corruption u shud also push for jun lozada’s corruption cases para pantay pantay ang batas. dalhin s korte ang mga inaakusa nyo n korakot para mahatulan n cla s batas ng Pilipinas. kung guilty s GMA at c lozada d magsama cla s bilangguan.

lulu pidal.. it is very easy for u to say that GMA is robbing the philippine coffer but can u prove it? npka dali lng tlga manira ng tao. do you think that the senators’ only job is to investigate? why dont they investigate the anomaly at the Phil. forrest? yung dating presidente ng Phil. Forrest ang korap talaga! ganyn batas b ang gusto nyo? may kinikilinga? u want to naildown GMA s mga hearsay accusations nyo habang c lozada pinoprotrektahan nyo? its very obvious namn n gngmit nila ang issue re s ZTE/NBN deal para lng magpgwapo s 2010 elections.

If you really think that Gloria Arroyo, is not guilty why is it she is doing everything in her power to suppress the truth. Truth of the matter is she is guilty to the core! the truth is there for everyone to see if you can’t see it. If there is rule of law in the Philippines Gloria Arroyo, Should be in jail where she belong but that well never happen because she control the entire corrupt justice system.
