Kinsa vote sa yes or no. Nya unsa imo reason?

[FK]

No... it's a good way of having check and balance.
And the way I see it... they are more people there who cross party lines when vital issues are raise.

[klavel]

nope...i think we should be more careful in selecting the right persons for the seats..we've heard news of irresponsible senators taking their duties for granted and purely just after the power and fame..so hopefully, this will serve as a nightmare experience for us..

without the (Legislature) Phil. Congress (senate & house of reps.), who would then propose, review and adopt bills for enactment into law?? The President cannot have both powers (legislative & executive) since he/she will have the final approval..It would sound biased if he/she would have to make (laws) and approve them?!?

@iloveyou4ever:
abolish sila tungod dili sila mo pabor ni GMA? that's the same reason why you want UP to be abolish right?

[tolstoi]

NO..what i want to abolish are the militant party list representatives in congress..their salaries came from our hard-earned taxes only to be a nuisance on the streets and hamper the growth of our economy..

kung gusto sila mag rally dili sila mudawat unta ug suhol gikan sa atong mga buwis...tsk..the irony.

[FK]

What I want to be abolish are the pork barrels...

abolishing the senate in a presidential system is tantamount on changing the form of govenment into parliamentary form were there is only 1 house ..Â* so it cant be abolish under the present laws...

anyway Gma had already have eo 464 so the senate is beaten as for now inside the political ring... now look who is stronger

ur right at that..we cannot just directly abolish the senate since we are under the presidential system..
2 options:
* we will go for a constitutional change for us to totally sweep the senators out (whom we voted for in the first place)
* and since we voted for them- the only removal duly mandated by the constitution is tru an impeachment process..which is too impossible..

lets always do things the constitutional way and accept the outcome its the only way this country will be sane again
