I find it truly amazing how 'ChaCha' is being bandied around like it being this century's cure all mend all pill. It is being promoted like Al Gore's 'locked box' a covenant with the people, by the people, for the people by individuals who have perfected the art of Gloryass kissamyass. Trust us they rally every time. This one's for you they claimed. What amazing tricks these sleezeballs got tucked under their armpits you can smell the stench from Urdaneta to Urbiztondo.

Supposing this Cha Cha gravy train becomes the flavor of the year knowing the caliber of mercenaries pushing it. Later, we find, we have been duped big time again since it will no longer be a game decided by numbers but a monopoly under the thumb of a queen? As citizens, we have a serious problem. Are we allowed to complain - 'Nanpu-CHA' naman? Maybe we can get away saying - 'CHA-namagan so long as Jovito Palparan isn't around? One person I know who is now so powerful will benefit even more by becoming a parliament member. CHA-vit might even request ERAP to sing 'CHA-rong Bangi!'.

We have had 5 constitutions beginning with Malolos 1899 the first republican constitution in Asia. It was followed by 1935 constitution written in 1934 of the Philippine Commonwealth and again amended in 1940 to have a bicameral congress. In 1971 ConCom was held to re-write the 1935 under Ferdinand E. Marcos. The 1973 constitution was amended in 1976 to allow incumbent president to hold position of Prime Minister. Corazon C. Aquino issued Proclamation No. 3 which was a provisional constitution paving the way for the 1987 constitution of the fifth republic. So why are we again trying to change the constitution like we are discarding junks or changing underwear?

We had a parliament system of government during the Marcos years but reverted back to presidential system years later? If what we saw allies of Gloria Arrovo doing their best in doing away with her recent impeachment a harbinger of what a Filipino life will be in a parliament dominated by kissamyass zombies, boy I tell ya, we better know how to pray 'God have mercy!'
