Hon. Connie Assumption, Representative, District of Malacanang

June 14, 2009

Thousands of people from the key cities in the country have staged rallies against CON-ASS. The angry crowds included priests, nuns, and children. Thousands more have expressed their disapproval through the internet. And I know, millions are also uttering their disgust and disappointment in the privacy of their homes.

What are these congressmen doing?

Isn’t it their job to be the voice of their respective districts and partylists in the congress? Aren’t they supposed to be advocates of their constituents? What’s wrong? It seems like all those congressmen who voted for CON-ASS represent only one district; the district of Malacanang.

 

Even CBCP (Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines) is against CON-ASS. Isn’t that enough to think twice before voting for it? It’s like their voting and deciding only for their own selves. Never mind the Filipino people.

 

This is another demonstration of how oblivious and unfeeling this government can be to the clamor of the people. They are unashamedly showing us how powerful and abusive they can be. In Tagalog, “walang pagpapapanggap” or no pretensions. They couldn’t even pretend to be unbiased and fair by letting the senate have a say about this. Or tried to show some cautiousness by taking a little more time to process it. Aren’t they even a bit worried that the people will react negatively? Or are they just so powerful that nothing the Filipino people can do will affect them?

 

And then there was this statement by Malacanang warning people who will attend rallies to beware of the H1N1 virus. It’s a blatant insult to the Filipino people. How can we tolerate this?

 

Plus there was this brownout thing due to some failing transformers. Even the people who fixed the said transformers said it was just a preventive measure to avoid a more massive brownout in case the transformers will fail. Oh. So that justifies the fact that they scheduled the repair in the afternoon when the rallies against CON-ASS will be done? Plain coincidence? COINCIDENCE? Filipinos are smarter than that sirs/madams.

 

If you think we can be fooled that easily, think again.
