Opposition and Militants scoring ‘Pogi Points’

Last week, some of the ‘Pa pogi’ politicians and the militants were seen at the gate of the Supreme Court protesting the decision of the SC in allowing the outgoing PGMA to appoint the next SC Chief Justice. It would have been acceptable if they’d just protest for the sake of protesting but they’d once again resorted to name calling and demonizing the judicial institution of our country. These people’s stand on several national interest issues differ depending on their personal interests. They’d pretend to defend the constitution when they hear that the current regime want to change it. But then, when they see that the current regime is just following the rule of law (constitution), they’d malign and demonize the whole institution. What can we expect from these militants? Their primary purpose in life is to create discord and havoc.


If you’re in your right mind you’d agree with me that the decision was fairly written. It’s was also voted for by the majority of Justices. However, these militants and opportunistic opposition leaders who want to score ‘Pogi Points’, the situation is enough to merit another rally and another anti government chanting.

I don’t have any legal background but for me, if they really feel strongly against the ruling, they should have filed an appeal. They prided themselves of having so many A1 lawyers di ba? All they should do is to appeal the SC ruling in the proper forum. Hindi iyong mag ra rally na naman sa kalye at binabatikos ang SC. They could be contempt kung ipagpapatuloy nila iyan. Ang media naman, especially ABS CBN that has no balance reporting would often sensationalize and politicize the issue.

The proper thing to do is to file an appeal and not through another rally and anti-government chanting! Masyado nang maingay!
