Majority Representatives of the Philippine Lower House=GARAPAL

Napakagarapal ng Administration Representatives. It is clear how desperate they try to cling to their power. They just changed the House rules to fit their interests. This is an attack to the very foundations of our Democracy.

Just so that everybody knows, binago ng Lower house ang house rules na nagsasabi na kahit anong bill na ipapasa ng Lower house, dapat dumaan sa Senate, at pagbotohan ng House of Representatives at Senate separately, needing at least ¾ of the Senate and the Lower House—of each House, for it to be passed.

Ang ginawa ng Lower House ngayon ay binago nila ang House rule na iyon. Meaning, the Bill for charter change need not go through a separate voting by the Senate. Meaning, even without the Senate’s approval, the bill, if approved by the Lower House, will push through.

Ano ang implication nito? Why doesn’t the Lower House want the Senate to vote on the bill separately? SIMPLE:

Senate is dominated by the OPPOSITION.

It is suicide for the house bill if it goes through voting in the Senate.

Why does the Administration want CHA CHA (Charter Change) badly to begin with?

Charter Change means prolonging the term of the incumbent public officers. A possibility of postponement of the coming elections is there too.

Administration is desperate because it knows fully well that after the Elections, a lot of the candidates that are pro-administration will not win. This means that the number of Administration Representatives in the Lower House and in the other key governmnet positions will almost surely be significantly cut. If the numbers tip in favor of the Opposition, GMA may very well be impeached.
