THE 19th Congress has just concluded with some legislations still pending.

The attention of the legislature has been mainly confined to the impeachment of our Vice President  Sara Duterte.

The orchestration and the magnitude of the process can only be summed up to what I call a deliberate effort to convict Sara at all costs so she won’t be able to run for the presidency in 2028.

A lot of ‘instant experts’ have lined up to highlight their opinions to make the Vice President look bad in the eyes of the Filipino people.

The left-leaning group, the political opposition, the “yellow-tards” and the “pink-lawans” have joined the orchestra to oust Sara as Vice President.

Will they be able to do it?

I really feel bad about all these things in the light of what is presently happening to our country.

My sources say that shabu is selling like hot cakes in many sari-sari stores in our province of Pangasinan.

Recently, more than one ton of shabu, valued at more or less P8 billion, were found by fishermen in Agno, Bolinao, and Bani, Pangasinan; Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur and in some Zambales towns.

Our suspicion is that there were landings already done before that got into the hands of contacts, a few of them may be politicians, of a powerful national syndicate, causing the flooding of shabu in our province.

Are we now surprised that instead of derailing the popularity of the Dutertes, the ordinary people in the street is longing for the time when Sara will become the President of the Philippines?

The outgoing majority members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Dagupan City have suddenly become the “conscientious majority”.

They have been fast-tracking the passage of several resolutions and ordinances to benefit the people of Dagupan.

What they can not do during their heydays, they are doing it now, thinking that they would be leaving a legacy of goodwill to our people.

As I’ve written before, these pa-pogi points are okay. But do they think that Mayor Belen Fernandez will not see through their real motives? 

Politika lang yan!

My two favorite senators, Bong Go and Rodante Marcoleta, were elected overwhelmingly ahead of the others who were favored in the surveys before the elections.

Senator Bong Go has the distinction of having garnered the highest number of majority votes, landing in the top spot with more or less 27 million.

My other favorite, Rodante Marcoleta, landed in the sixth position. I expected him to land in the top 3 position, but because the Iglesia ni Cristo also voted for Bam Aquino, that made the difference, as admitted by the Comelec, which could have improved the chances of the latter to be in the Top 3 position.

But that is water under the bridge now.

The good senator-elect Marcoleta is eyeing the chairmanship of the Blue Ribbon Committee and the Energy Committee.

These two very important committees will enhance his chances of aspiring for a higher position soon.

Let’s do it!
