ABOLISH THE SENATE!!!

ABOLISH THE SENATE!!!

Today, may14,2007 election time n naman. At until now mano mano parin election natin.Kawawang Pilipinas.

As of now, I am thinking of who among in the senator candidates shall I vote, but as I really put my heart into it, parang ayaw ko ng bumoto ng senator. Men, wala namang kwenta ang senate! Me nagawa ba ang mga senator natin in general?

talagang
dapat ng iabolish yang senate na yan! ang mahal gumawa ng batas sa
Pilipinas! crocodiles in the lower house is enough! Ang gastos at haba
ng proseso sa atin, which breeds corruption. Ipapasa bill sa lower
house, magpapasa ng bill sa senate, then after that magcoconvene pa
yung lower house at senate committee, ano ba yan? 3 stage para lang
magpasa ng batas. Then puro kalokohang batas pa ipinapasa nila. Sayang na sayang lang ang tax na binabayad ko!, masakit to kc nagbabayad ako ng tax e. buti sana kung hindi.

hay nako, baka si Angara nalang iboto ko, at least kasama sa adgenda nya ang iabolish ang senate. For HELP our country to go forward, let’s abolish the senate, at least we save billions of pesos.

let me forward an article of jarius bondoc from philippine star, he is very right:

No point voting for any senator

GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc

Monday, May 14, 2007

see no point voting for any senator. As shown by surveys — often right
— it’s mostly those running for reelection who will win anyway. And I
rate them as low performers, since more families went hungry during
their term. It’s hard for newcomers to break in, unless coming from a
political dynasty.

Speaking of which, more dynasts are aping
today the bad example of Jinggoy Estrada in running for the Senate when
his mom already was there. It’s a farce. Party mates do not chastise
Koko Pimentel and Alan Cayetano of the Genuine Opposition, or Mike
Defensor of the administration Team Unity for wanting to sit with their
dad, sis and aunt, respectively. It goes against the spirit of the
Constitution, but they say just let the people decide. Yet they’ve
narrowed down the choices to only themselves.

In fact, they unfairly want us to choose
the lesser evil: either the GO of Joseph Estrada, in jail for plunder,
or the TU of Gloria Arroyo, in power thanks to Garci and Joc-Joc.
Issues have melted. Following the leader, TU and GO racers are, as
former Sen. Kit Tatad points out, out to win for only themselves at all
costs. Forget principles. None of them object that party mates are
running on either side. The NPC has six candidates, two in TU (Tito
Sotto, Tessie Oreta), and four in GO (Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero,
Nikki Coseteng, John Osmeña). The NP has three candidates, one in TU
(Ralph Recto), and two in GO (Manny Villar, Cayetano). The LP has
three, one in TU (Defensor) and two in GO (Noynoy Aquino, Kiko
Pangilinan), although the latter has opted to go independent.

Then, they junk each other in whisper
campaigns — to improve their rankings or chances of winning. The
members of the Wednesday Group — Joker Arroyo, Recto, Pangilinan,
Villar) have revealed that they will drop party mates to accommodate
each other. Villar was criticized for it. GO’s Ping Lacson has
complained that Legarda has deleted him, Escudero and Villar from her
GO sample ballots. And GO patron Estrada reportedly has ordered his
minions to junk Legarda, Villar and Lacson because potential rivals in
his son Jinggoy’s presidential run in 2010.

Senatorial elections have degenerated from
bombast in the ’80s to showbiz or sports celebrity in the ’90s to big
bucks today. Matinee idols Cesar Montano and Richard Gomez, and crooner
Victor Wood are faring badly in surveys. Ahead of them are the big
spenders on political ads. Both sides estimated at P50 million the
minimum a candidate must spend on TV ads to be top-of-mind. The
candidate, aided by a party, legally may spend up to P3 per voter, or
P135 million for 45 million voters. But monitors cry that at least five
already have breached the spending ceiling — on TV ads alone.

And there are other big-ticket items to
spend on. Serious candidates, says Sen. Miriam Santiago, must allot the
same amount for ads to two post-campaign activities: feeding poll
watchers during the ballot tallying and canvassing, and engaging the
dagdag-bawas (vote padding-shaving) services of Comelec insiders. The
going rate for the latter is P25 million for a million padded votes,
Sen. Rodolfo Biazon reveals without exposing the crooks who approached
him, as is his duty to uphold the law.

After spending tens or hundreds of
millions, no senator deigns to answer the frequent query of how they
hope to recover the money from a monthly salary of P35,000. Nobody has
even dared to boast, “Who says I want to recover it anyway when I only
wish to serve?” Perhaps they know that an outraged citizen would say,
if you really wanted to serve, you could have put your P135 million
spending limit into Gawad Kalinga houses, and thus helped shelter 1,928
families — a truly lasting way to help.

But, oh, they do recover the P50 million to
P500 million thrown into the campaign. While we taxpayers aren’t
looking and their PR teams work overtime, senators each draw fixed
monthly allowances of P2 million for office rental and supplies, staff
salaries and domestic travel. There’s no audit. They charge even their
home laundry detergent, housemaids’ salaries and family gasoline bills
to the Senate. They lease condos as “extension offices” that become
theirs under rent-to-own deals.

On top of that they each have P760,000
monthly allowance for foreign travel, whether or not they do fly off.
They have an additional P1 million monthly stipend for each committee
chairmanship. And they have multiple: there are 37 committees for 24
senators.

The grand prize is the P200-million annual
pork barrel — P1.2 billion during the senator’s six-year term. They
identify the projects and endorse the contractors-suppliers, who give
them 50-percent kickbacks.

For that kind of money, all they have to
show for it is duplicating the work of the House of Reps, and endless
political posturing. For, in the Senate are 24 Presidents-in-waiting.

For all this, I do not intend to fill up
the blanks for senators in my ballot. I will just choose wisely my
congressman, party list, and local officials.
