Unwritten Thoughts

Ok, I woke up at around 9AM and the first thing which struck my mind was, “Should I vote?” Then my father suddenly came, exhaustedly rushing to my room, and shouted at me, “Pack up your things, we’re going to our precint now. I said… now!”

Upon reaching the precinct… this is where I will start my blog.

• Some voters only think about money for the people who they should vote.
• Some voters leave the blank of their ballots… blank.
• Some voters are not prepared of those candidates who they should vote.
• Some losing candidates are finding ways on how to harass their opponents in order to win, in whatever means.
• Some winning candidate’s feels secure by accepting interviews from media, but for what purpose is this anyway?

So what’s the point? Nothing. This is just too common, right?

But the main point is, I posted this post through Microsoft Word 2007. Cool isn’t it?

(unedited post - personal point of view of the author)

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, as a de-facto President and Chief Executive of the Philippines, called for a Charter Change to avoid the incoming presidential election instead of initiating actions for national renewal and national progress.

Because of her persistent rousing, members from the Administration submitted a petition to call for People Initiative as its first step in calling for a Charter Change; the Supreme Court simply rejected it.

After the denial of petition, Administration tried to look for another means of initiating such act by changing the house rules in terms of voting by jointly or separately from the upper and lower house for the approval of Charter Change through formation of Constitution Commission which purpose is to suggest amendments to the current constitution.

Petition for Constituent Assembly was submitted to the Supreme Court by the lower house was approved after the retirement of Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban. By the way, the decision was rendered after the succession of new Chief Justice Reynato Puno and before dawn on the day of the last submission of this paper.

Does the following circumstances mentioned from above paragraphs constitutional? Yes it is, according to others but not for some people

Without legal profession to protect the public from their rights and interests, the President, any officials who holds public office, or even persons under the private sector, may simply abuse their rights by passing executive orders, proclamations, ordinances, memorandum or similar materials that will only enrich themselves and abuse others.

The public does not need leaders who do not speak of truth when it is obviously a lie from the rhythm of their voice. The public does not need press conferences to boast for their achievements when it is obviously a political makeover on their personal part. In short, stop politicking and do your job properly!

What the public need are people who can practice legal profession in order to promote national renewal, national progress, or even initiate the need for Charter Change; provided for the clear observance of the provisions in the Philippine Constitution.

But for what reason is this needed?

According to Criminal Psychology > A MANUAL FOR JUDGES, PRACTITIONERS, AND STUDENTS by Hans Gross, “For the community at large, it is important to recognize that criminal science is a larger thing than criminal law. The legal profession in particular has a duty to familiarize itself with the principles of that science, as the sole means for intelligent and systematic improvement of the criminal law.”

We need to learn the “science” of legal profession and how we can familiarize ourselves with its principles. Legal profession is an interesting devotion which not everyone has been blessed upon to exercise with.

Legal profession speaks for itself; not for the sake of people who purportedly abused the provisions of our law but it is for the sake for people who seek for national renewal and national progress.

National renewal and national progress may take some time to happen and this will surely depend on our leaders who are in front of us in the battlefield. True, we are behind their horses but this does not mean that this is their responsibilities alone. We know what is right from wrong but we should also share our part for the continuous call for such renewal and progress.
