Press Release January 17, 2006 *If they can vote for Sam, why not for the president?*
I dont think the people are ready to give up their right to
directly elect the head of government. Its one right they arent
prepared to delegate yet. To them, voting for the president is
personal, not political. If the lowest elected official the
barangay councilman is elected directly how can you expect the
people to renounce their right to directly choose the highest
official of the land? Technology has even made it possible for them
to vote for their favorite Big Brother contestant. How can you tell
the citizens of electronic republic that while they can vote for Uma
or Sam, they cant however vote for head of the government? That the
only Nene they can vote for is the one who wants to stay in Big
Brothers house, but they cant vote for the wisest and greatest
Nene from Mindanao, in the event that theres a clamor for him to be
installed in that big house by the Pasig river? |
