Speaking for colleagues, Sen. Frank Drilon says forget constitutional reforms and focus instead on passing the P1.2-trillion national budget. He makes it sound so noble. But recent acts of Drilon and pals unmask their self-serving ploys. It shows them to be no different from wily congressmen who ride on parliamentary switch only to extend their own terms.

MARAMING krimen ang naganap sa pag-angkat ng bawal na pork mula China nu’ng Agosto at pagkawala nito nu’ng Nobyembre.


Ang pagpuslit ng kontrabando ay technical smuggling. Minarkahan ng Asia Golden Ark Marketing ang 100,000 kilong pork, nasa P6 milyon, na mumurahing "frozen mackerel" – isang panlilinlang na labag sa Tariff and Customs Code. Alam nilang bawal umangkat ng unprocessed poultry at meat mula China dahil sa bird flu at foot-and-mouth disease.

Genuine constitutional reform is dead. As with the People’s Initiative before it, the Constituent Assembly has turned into a partisan sideshow to the midterm election. Even the push for Constitutional Convention is only a political ploy. Both factions of the political class have reduced the issue to mutual survival.
