Current developments in Philippine politics is not unlike the popular telenovelas that mom relish daily specially during dinner time. The camp of former President Arroyo and Justice Secretary Leila de Lima are exchanging blows as if they are on a boxing arena. Not few are now floating ideas and proclaiming that De Lima is good and potential president of the country. She is a true fighter, strong at heart and courageous and most of all true advocate of human rights despite all odds. Her brother- in- law, Joma in Ultrich must be clapping his hands, singing halleluia by now. Joma Sison's wife is the sister of Sec. Leila de Lima Because If ever Joma's sister-in-law become president Joma's chances of becoming stronger again if not victory is at hand.
Some constitutional experts say the Philippines is already in a constitutional crisis. What is a constitutional crisis? Although constitutional crisis had been the talk of some since the start of the Aquino government. There had been no real and concrete explanations as to how this kind of crisis would be. What is it really. Though the Wikipedia's records are not exhaustive it says: It is the breakdown of the orderly operations of government,when equal branches of government disagree on issues and such disagreement cannot be resolved in a period of time and therefore may result in a government paralysis, collapse and eventually even a civil war. By this many Filipinos await good explanations from the top and brightist constitutionalist to explain all these in simple language understandable to all.
However, recent political developments may be considered a shot across the bow by America. There is no truth to the rumor that the policeman of the world is sending Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to the Philippines to observe further developments.
