[Title] => The tremendous failures of Congress
[Summary] => The founding fathers of the Philippine Constitution did not institutionalize Congress so that congressmen could build bridges, highways, and waiting sheds, or ever intended senators to use pork barrels by any name, and distribute dole-outs to fire victims, much less become TV hosts, radio announcers, action stars, and comedians. Congress should enact laws as ordered by the Constitution.
