Im pretty sure hes sincere, but unfortunately for Joe de V, many people have always suspected him of pushing the Chacha for his own personal agenda. After all, JDV is pushing 70 and we can understand if he feels its either now or never for Charter change.

For this country, debt relief may not be a swallow away but if we dont reduce our huge debt we can be swallowed away. If we can just pull off Speaker Joe de Venecias debt-for-equity proposal even by just 20 percent, the debt reduction will greatly relieve the burden on the economy.

Senate President Frank Drilon and House Speaker Joe de Venecia were the guest speakers at the Manila Overseas Press Clubs (MOPC) Congress Night. JDV rolled out his usual optimistic and creative spiel. He outlined a 12-point program to generate new wealth in a variety of creative ways that have been covered by the media.

The term came into political use in the post-Civil War era in the US specifically for the dispensing of favors by politicians to constituents.
