Like a horde of mountain trolls wielding a battering ram through the locked gates of Minas Tirith, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s allies in the House of Representatives rammed and crushed all objections to House Resolution 1109. In a nightmare that started as the setting sun was about to rest beneath the dark clouds and ended just before midnight and the country was shrouded in darkness, the resolution setting up a constituent assembly was passed.
The country needs change. The constitution needs change. But definitely not at this time. And not from the hands of a group of trolls with thick hides masquerading as congressmen from the majority who think nothing of using their money, power and influence for their selfish interests. And who else but GMA herself will benefit the most from this.Now anything is possible for her.
Who can still believe in democracy at this display of willful railroading by so-called representatives of the people?
HR1109 belongs to the dung heap, together with all those ugly mountain trolls.
