Of Con-Con, China, mayors

BUTUYAN

By: Ulysses R. Butuyan

 

“DRILON BATS FOR CON-CON, ‘RES-PONSIVE’ CHARTER” – Time for Congress and Malacañang to give the Judiciary the stature it deserves as a co-equal. Many courts are dilapidated. Judges are dependent on LGU funds for official travels and functions. By the way, the Supreme Court might be in a better position to appoint judges, as not every President knows what a judge is.

“CHINA ON WAR FOOTING” – Relax. No nation is willing to wage war. Who would survive in a nuclear holocaust? Maybe a few would, but who wants to live in a world strewn with nuclear waste? In our case, it is an impossible crime to engage in a war even if every Filipino were surnamed Duterte. All we have for weapons are drugs.

“MAYORS: NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW” –  Some of them are. Even many barangay captains and tanods are, simply because they hardly know what the law is. They probably think they are the law. Consider alone the barricades they lawlessly install across the public highways.

“LACSON BILL EYES DEATH FOR DRUG-RELATED CRIMES” – What’s the penalty for fugitives?

“GOV’T READIES FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ORDER” – It seems that there used to be a government freedom to hide information.

“WHO’S AFRAID OF AGING?” Those who are above 100.

“GOV’T PANEL TO FLY TO NORWAY FOR CPP TALKS” – Why, who’s in charge?

“NO RANSOM POLICY UNDER DUTERTE” – That’s funny to the marines.

“DOUBLE SALARY FOR POLICEMEN?” – Some don’t even need a salary.

“CONGRESS TO PRIORITIZE 2017 NATIONAL BUDGET” – Have mercy on the Judiciary. It always gets less than one percent (-1%) of the national budget.

“GROUPS FILE GRAFT RAPS VS. NOY, ABAD OVER DAP” – Maybe DAPat lang  for A BAD tandem.

“100 COPS LINKED TO DRUGS” – Please hire more statisticians to consider linking some politicians.

“PROBE OF DRUG-RELATED KILLING IS WELCOMED BY THE GOVERNMENT” – Probers, better get yourselves heavily insured.

“LIFESTYLE CHECKS SET FOR THE ENTIRE POLICE FORCE” – Start with their waistlines.

“P80-M ALLOTMENT CON-FIRMED PER LAWMAKER” – Does Congress still enact laws? Members are more adept in the construction of roads and bridges.

“OVERPRINTING OF BIR TAX STAMPS PROBED” – Will BIR overestimates of tax dues be investigated, too?

“COMELEC CHAIRMAN BAUTISTA: I’VE ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT” – Just absent-minded, maybe.

 

“DUTERTE DESERVES CREDIT AND CRITICISM” – He can lessen criticism if he learns to give credit to the critics.
