Manila— I review with rate of interest the letter from independent reporter Mr. Philip Gloss, Jr., “The Potential customers of Impeachment of Vice Head Of State Sara Duterte” (1/10/25).
While I think and concur with much of what he claimed there, the bottom line I discovered was the expression “the top quality of the Us senate has actually decreased.” Without a doubt, the top quality of this nation’s legislators has actually long been decreasing. I miss out on the days when the recognized girls and gents that loaded the when august halls of the Us senate were chosen on the basis of their exceptional qualifications and excellent scholarship. Their wizard brightened lives with the legislations they produced.
We deeply miss out on previous Senators Claro M. Recto, Ambrosio Padilla, Arturo Tolentino, Lorenzo Sumulon, Lorenzo Tanada, Gil Puyat, Jose Roy, Gerardo Rojas, Ninoy Aquino, Jose W. Diokno, Maria Kalao Katibak, Tecla San Andres Ziga, There is a lot more worth pointing out. Look what we have currently. What we see is a depressing view. A few of us were chosen on the toughness of our appeal as motion picture celebrities, sporting activities celebrities and excellent appearances, yet their gloss lowered on the Us senate flooring, just lowering our future.
The Us senate remains in an extremely depressing state. The political events and their strong advocates themselves are to be criticized. They choose prospects based upon appeal and name recall. Every one of this occurs each time when citizens are expected to be knowledgeable and have very easy accessibility to info from the media.
The leads for modification do not look encouraging. Lots of Us senate prospects are much less than worthwhile of the workplaces they desire. Those couple of that are certified are being overshadowed by the sub-par. Politically fully grown households involved control, therefore combining their dynastic guideline in the Philippine political landscape. Unfortunate, extremely depressing certainly.
