Maging sa mismong Kamara ay matatag din ang paninindigan ng mga kontra rito at kahit umano magpalit pa ito ng pangalan, mapa-ConAss man o mapa-ConCon, ay hindi pa rin ito kakagatin ng tao.

“Whatever they call it, whether it’s Con-Ass or Con-con, the fact remains that the Filipino people oppose charter change under the Arroyo government. Once and for all, they should stop all this name game.”

dahil nasapawan niya ang mga naggagandahang gowns ng mga senadora.
Bakit kamo? Kasi, she was a show-stopper with her mocking hand painted
image of the President! Hmmm, buti hindi siya pinalabas ng Batasang
Pambansa ano? read more »
MANILA, Philippines—Rain soaked a 12-foot effigy of a decaying President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on a full-steam bulldozer running over the Constitution, but militants nonetheless sent the protest centerpiece up in flames on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City, before the start of her State of the Nation Address (SONA). read more »
