Despite a hectic schedule, I thought I had an obligation to observe the debates last Tuesday at the House Committee on Justice over the merits of the second impeachment complaint against the President. I presumed it might be educational for a professional observer of Filipino politics.


I presumed wrongly. The whole thing was a waste of time.


The opposition had a year to prepare a tight impeachment complaint. They came up with a lousy one – a complaint dazzling only because it had so many leaps in logic.

We would not need a miracle to get it done. All it needs is the will to do so.
