JDV Ousted

I have heard the news about JDV being ousted from his position as the speaker of the house of representatives. 174 of the congressmen have agreed to replace him with Nograles. 65 disagreed.

I actually do feel bad about what happened. The abrupt decision that was made by several groups of the house of representatives, which are obviously pro-GMAs, I think is a little unfair on JDV's part. I even heard that the congressmen were forced to sign a petition to oust JDV. They were paid 1 million pesos as down payment. and as soon as they vote they'll be receiving another million or so. money buys people. we all know that's the truth. 1 million pesos is a lot of money just for a YES VOTE. what's 1 million pesos from millions of deprived and less fortunate Filipino pockets anyway? So that's

(174 congressmen)*(1 million)=(174million pesos)

assuming that 1 million is the highest bribe they'd give. what more would it be if the bribe is more than a million? hmm.. A YES vote seems too pricey. No wonder the congressmen and other government officials are so wealthy.

Anyway back to JDV's case. I was saying that the decision was unfair on his part. JDV siding with GMA the whole time his son was accusing the first gentleman and some other local officials regarding the ZTE broadband deal was out of the ordinary. i mean, as a father, he would of course has to side with his son but he didnt. He was so loyal to the administration that he just kept silent the whole time. He didnt say a thing about the first gentleman being corrupt. he kept his mouth shut. and what did he get from GMA? nothing. He was receiving death threats from certain police officials and he told GMA about it but GMA didnt even do a single thing. All JDV is asking for, I think, is a little appreciation from GMA for what he has done and what he has gone through just to protect GMA and her administration. It's not too much to ask.

GMA should be more careful now that JDV has been ousted and has joined the opposition because that guy knows a lot about the corruption and other anomalies that GMA has done. JDV is now being called the "CHAVIT SINGSON OF GMA". JDV including his wife, Gina, will most probably spill what they know. GMA should be warned not to do anything that would make JDV tick or else she'll be ousted next.. woohoo.. another EDSA Revolution eh? nuh.. maybe not. but at least we all will know what kind of person our president is straight from the horse's mouth!

Kahit lumipat pa si JDV sa opposition, mahihirapan pa rin maimpeach si GMA. Pro GMA rin si Nograles.

Pero, para sa akin, sa wakas, hindi na si JDV ang House Speaker. Panahon pa ata siya ni Cory. Nung panahon lang ni Erap siya nawala.

Nagtataka lang ako, bakit ngayon lang siya nagsasabi ng mga kalokohan ni GMA. Kutob ko, may sarili ring interest si JDV. Hay, politics hehehe...
