Was it Freudian slip or meant to ass lick some more? Press secretary Jesus Dureza today reportedly embarrassed his boss when he prayed for Gloria to have the forebearance to survive 2010 and even rule beyond it. Realizing the implications, Gloria asked journalists that they strike off Dureza's dog prayer. But, you know, stories such as these are obviously head line material.
It's plain and simple dog prayer, the one probably uttered by former Justice Secretary Hernando Perez, COMELEC Commissioner Garcillano, former COMELEC Chairman Abalos, former NEDA and now SSS Chief Romulo Neri and now, being prayed by fertilizer scam architect Joc-Joc Bolante. Bolante prays like that each and every time he goes to a forum such as the Senate (and just today, at the Congress) because deep in his heart, he knows he's lying. Of course, he'll evade jail time since it's still Gloria at the top. He pulled so many legs today, fooled so many people, including Congressmen and for that, he even managed to make a smile out of all the bola-bola. Like what Cebu Congressman Tony Cuenco accused him off, he'll probably be a very good poker player.
And you know why they have this dogged and cultist belief for Gloria? Because these people have nowhere to go in a post-Gloria era. If the Opposition wins in 2010, all of them will be history. Bolante would probably go to a neutral country and stay there permanently. But, that's just a dream.
With a messed up Senate, who would dare cross Gloria and her mafia gang's way, except maybe those who want to commit suicide? Enrile may profess independence but he's an avowed and firm believer of charter change. He can maneuver and exploit the tenuous hold of the majority to power at the Upper Chamber and re-configure the composition of the Majority. At this stage, we have an opposition hao-shiao ruling as a majority. The present majority is weak. They are composed of strong willed and independent-minded individuals who never voted as a block and would probably go their own ways based on their individual political ambitions.
When the time comes for this Senate to vote on an important matter such as the proposal to constitute Congress as a constituent assembly (or call for a Constitutional Convention), there is a strong possibility that another configuration would rise, with those in favor equal in number with those opposed. A divided Senate is the consequence of this latest caper.
A weak and divided Senate will not stand a Chinaman's chance against the administration-strong coalition at the House.
