Batangas solon stripped of House panel chairmanship - The Daily Tribune
The removal of Representative Mandanas from his Chairmanship reportedly due to PNoy's indication given to Speaker Belmonte as a result of his not signing the impeachment complaint against CJ Corona will be a setback to PNoy's cause.Even during the time of CGMA as President, records will bear out that Representative Mandanas refused to go with the administration then in dismissing the impeachment complaints against then PGMA because it was not the right thing to do despite personal appeals of then PGMA to him. Despite standing for what he believed was right but against the interest of former PGMA, he was not removed from his committee chairmanship of the Committee on CALABARZON.
Representative Mandanas is fighting for the implementation of the case he won at the Supreme Court as Chairman then of the League of Provinces regarding the unreleased portion of the IRA amounting to billions of pesos for the local government units that were not released by the DBM since President Ramos up to the present. Is this not matuwid na Daan?
Representative Mandanas as the immediate Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means has also also been pushing for the reduction of and simplification of VAT that will result to its more efficient and bigger collection. Is this not matuwid na Daan?
Representative Mandanas is also a consistent pro lifer Congressman who fights against the RH bill in order to protect the Filipinos especially the youth and the Filipino families. Is this not Matuwid na Daan?
Is this the Matuwid na Daan PNoy is pushing which I and millions of other Filipinos support which can not distinguish matters of conscience and legitimate freedom of others including its allies like Representative Mandanas who has been a Liberal Party member even during the Presidency of PGMA?
If they can do it to an ally and a poweful man who has been doing great things for the country when he was Governor of Batangas for three terms, former Chairman of the League of Provinces of the Philippines and now on his last term as Congressman, will it not happen to us also who are The Boss should we dare cross their paths on matters of conscience and principles even as we support the Matuwid na Daan?
Greatness and victories should be tempered with humility and being gracious for it to be authentic and lasting!
PNoy should reign in overzealous allies or even his own emotions because as what he said during his inaugural speech that the people are his Boss.
The virtues of courage and prudence are not incompatible!
When the aide of former Ferdinand Marcos said before former Senator Kit Tatad when the latter visited the former in Hawaii upon the former President's invitation that the visitor was responsible for his fall, Senator Kit Tatad was deeply hurt. During coffee, the late strongman confirmed what his aide has earlier said because according to him, since Senator Tatad left him, nobody was telling him the truth anymore!!
NOY BEWARE OF YOUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES WHO ARE ALWAYS THERE TO PLEASE YOU!!!
