How will you vote?

Shit man, every few months nagkakagulo na lang ang gobyerno natin. This time around, the House Speakership (is there such a word?) is the topic of controversies. In the off chance that you didn't know, there was a motion yesterday to declare the position of House Speaker as vacant. Bakit nila inaalis si HS De Venecia? Apparently, and i believe this to be true, pakana ito ng mga kaalyado ni PGMA in retaliation for Joey De V's accusations against the First Family. At syempre pinagunahan ito ng isa sa dalawang anak ni Gloria na nasa Lower House at ng isang kamag-anak ng Unang Ginoo. Syempre lahat ng tuta ni Gloria sumunod na.

As i was listening to the votation last night, i asked myself, if i were a Representative, which way would i go?

On the one hand, if i say NO, i would be voting for a person who has been a STAUNCH supporter of the Macapagal-Arroyo's na kaya lang nawala sa good graces ni GMA eh dahil kay Joey. Hello, he has been in the position for 5 terms, roughly 15 years na! And he had the nerve to call for a moral revolution. I was waiting for him to choke on his words, seriously. And he firmly said that he will not resign from the position. Talk about power-grabbing. I'm betting na lahat ng sinabi nya during his privilege speech eh totoo. Kaso, ang kinalabasan nya eh sourgraper sya. I can just imagine his sama ng loob. Pwedeng ikamatay ng tao yan.

On the other hand, if i vote YES, i would be giving the legislative to Gloria on a silver platter. Shit man, hows about the check and balance system of the three branches? Jeez, Louise.

I'm not saying that the legislative was not under her thumb during JDV's time. It was. Tapos ang ipapalit is another tuta of Gloria? HALER! But you know what, ilang impeachment cases na ang na-file against her, hindi natuloy because of JDV. Grabe nga naman pag nagkahiwalay ng landas ang mga politiko.

I tried to listen to the explanations of the Representatives when they voted. And really, it disgusted me. They're hypocrites, the lot of them. It was so bad of me but every time a Representative voted YES, i thought, wow nabili sya ni Gloria, regardless of whatever his/her reason for voting that way. There were some though, who made me cheer. One was Teddy Casino's and the other was Dilanganen (i think). Walang pasikot-sikot. They told it as it is.

And to answer the question, i would have voted NO. I'm going to go with whom i think is the lesser evil. Kasi tingin ko, JDV is already disgruntled na eh. I'm hoping that he learned his lesson. And just so that Gloria would not regain control of the Lower House.

ARGH!
