The RH Bill is in peril of being killed by Senate leadership filibustering and other legislative delaying tactics. Both Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Majority Floor Leader Tito Sotto, known anti-RH legislators, are obviously engaged in this old trapo (traditional politician) trick. Another inconvenient truth: These were the senator-judges who we cheered on during the Corona impeachment trial and the same politicos we jeered at this time as regards the RH Bill.
Alas, such is the nature of our elitist political decision-making structure! But this also tells us exactly who we should not anymore vote for and against whom our opposition should be mounted.
Part and parcel of the political reform process towards social change is to stop electing these trapos. As we press on the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to ensure institutional integrity of our electoral decisions, we — the citizens — also have to make informed and wise votes.
To be for RH. To be for reforms. To be for hope.
