Concom Report: Ano ba yan

My few points why I don’t like it:

The concom members accorded the President the privilege to appoint 30 members to the parliament including the members of concom – and only for those members who approved no-el provisions. Kapal no?

It bribes incumbent officials with three years extension of their terms – alang eleksyon – kapal talaga!

Last time I heard is that democracy is by the people.

It seems these concom members and tentacles of GMA are legislating to:

1. accord themselves positions,

2. bribe themselves, their wives and relatives (example: Sergio Apostol*, who moved for reconsideration when no-el was voted NO by the commission, but with promised seat on the Parliament, changed vote to YES! ) three year terms without election,

3. rob the people their right to choose their leaders.

Now, what? Are they going to submit it to us for a referendum to validate and approved their blatant greed? To approve their perpetuation in power for life?

Damn!

Sergio Apostol, member of concom will be appointed as assemblyman for his concom no-el vote. His wife who is current congresswoman for 2nd district Leyte - will gain another term without election. Their daughter, who is a Mayor – will also gain another term for free! Now this is democrazy in action!
