Politics has been rearing its ugly head again these past few days. De Venecia and his allies in Congress, ostensibly with Gloria's blessings, are itching to change the Constitution and shift the current system of government from Presidential to Parliamentary, by crook or by hook, so that they can perpetuate themselves in power. This, despite the Supreme Court's ruling on the unconstitutionality of the so-called People's Initiative earlier, the administration's initial hare-brained attempt at pushing its own selfish agenda. By insisting and bullying the Senate to convene a Constitutional Assembly, De Venecia and his pork-hungry minions in Congress only showed their true colors. The nerve!
They haven't even passed the 2007 budget yet. And get this, they had to postpone the ASEAN Summit in Cebu even if PAGASA issued the go-signal for the Summit to proceed. Obviously, the typhoon was only used as a lame excuse because of the heightened security risks posed by the gathering political storm. They're the ones creating this mess, to begin with.
It's as clear as day. De Venecia, who will never be the President under the present system, knows this fully well, and he can no longer wait. He firmly believes he is destined to lead this country sooner or later. DUH!
I can't stand him.
