While youth may be part of his appeal, he is obviously becoming another Trapo.Â* You do not become a minority leader by being a nice guy.Â* Give him a few more years and you won't recognize him anymore.Â* The same thing goes for any young politician out there--Ace Barbers, Darlene Antonino-Custodio, Mike Defensor or whoever.Â* They are all just trapos-in-training.Â* We expect them to change the system but the sad reality is the system will change them.
At the end of the day a congressman is there to serve his constituents.Â* He's there to pass laws and allocate projects that will benefit the people who elected him into office.Â* Ask Escudero's constituents in Sorsogon whether their congressman has had enough time to do that for them in between pushing for impeachment, launching investigations, jockeying for face time on TV and in general just badgering the adminstration and being a pain in Gloria's neck, and you might find they're not too happy with him.Â* Everyone knows he's positioning himself for a place in the Senate, and he may just get it.Â* He may even shine there.Â* In the senate you can grandstand all you want because you don't have to worry about constituents.
Ang akong idol diha sa congreso karon kay si Congressman "Way Kurat" Zamora.Â* Â* Â*
