Another sad chapter in the Philippines’ tattered history.
If you decided to live under a rock last night (or wasted the night away with those useless Facebook quizzes), Aye votes on the passage of HR 1109 (a resolution that would convene Congress into a constituent assembly to amend the 1987 Constitution) in the House of Representatives prevailed.
It was bloc versus bloc. By the end of the night, it was strength by numbers that prevailed. The opposing voices were reduced to muted subalternity.
The saddest thing about last night is that we lament the death of our supposed democracy but I remain with my belief that we never were a democracy in the first place.
