TRUTH and NOTHING but the TRUTH!

Before I begin, let us enumerate some functions of recently signed EO number 1, the creation of TRUTH (c)OMMISSION.

-GATHER Data concerning  anomalies, graft and corruption

- INVESTIGATE datas gathered

- CLOSURE of ... what? 

- RECOMMEND (???)

There are so many things uncertain about the creation of this so called Truth Commission while the intention is noble they  maybe forgetting that it is basically a duplication or we can say a redundancy of so many bodies already in placed and established in pursuing investigations and prosecutions.

To begin with, Is this Commission have a legal and constutional power to prosecute and subpoena anyone or anybody in question? Is this body created to run after only the Arroyo administration? Since it is called a TRUTH Commision, Will it also be the SUPERvisory body that will oversee the Aquino administration for its campaign on Good and Corrupt-Free governance? The soon to be established body is so "complex" in a way that might become  the first major fault or lapse of this present administration or in my prediction could  BREAK the Aquino administration.

 I am not a Lawyer, a Constitutionalist and definitely not an expert concerning these matter but I am just so opinionated and say, a little knowledge about certain things and I believe the subject is so simple not to understand by a "common tao".

To validate my concerns, the Truth Commission will just definitely be  a redundant body and NO POWER whatsoever since it is not a Constitutional body and has no legal framework to even subpoena anyone for purposes of its undertakings. If it will run and function only as an Investigative body, the Aquino government can and by all means assign PCGG, NBI, or even use or ask it's allies in both legislative houses to look into the anomalies of the last administration or even,  as far as my understanding is concerned, DOJ can conduct it's own investigation.

One more concern, the present administration is also calling to tighten its expenditures due to budget deficit. Now,  how are they going to run the Truth Commision? Will the appointees be working PRO BONO? Will someone from a private entity provide an office and its operational needs GRATIS?

See, bottomline is, we do not need anymore of this, we have so much body that can investigate and even prosecute. This will be a waste of time again formulating its framework that will work within its legality and constitutionality. 

The Aquino administration especially its advisory panel should learn to accept the truth that the body will just be a SUPERFICIAL body and could probably be called a Truth (c)OMMISSION because it defeats and contradict its own existence. If I may be heard , I'd also suggest the creation of a CONSEQUENCE COMMISSION and might later on be called TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCE COMMISSIONS. hahaha ( your feedback please. :-D )

Hi Guys!

I have been out in the circulation for such a long time. Now I am getting even to the lost times and opportunities in blogging. This morning when I woke up it was like, as I have foreseen it would be another day, just  an ordinary day. Felt so lazy despite my complaining stomach commanding me to cook something and eat. Well, as an obedient person,  there you go! An egg and skinless lonnganisa with pan de sal  and a cup of coffee broke my fast.  

After my sumptous breakfast (hehehe), as a regular habit, I opened my laptop and ofcourse the first site you would browse is your facebook to check who have invited you to be their friends, newly uploaded fotos and interestingly, new shout outs and tweets! 

To my surprise, when I stood up from my chair and work station, it was already quarter past five. I started at about 10 in the morning. Whew! Time went by unnoticed because I enjoyed really joining the after SONA discussion thread in twitter.  

To be exact, it is now half past 10 in the evening and if I won't cut this blog short, the same thing is gonna happen so better finish it since I still have to fix my bed full of  clutter. 

Guys, it's been nice to be back in the circulation again but have to manage my time to be more efficient and productive. No matter what what you want to post, be it in facebook, twitter, or even in blogsite, just think responsibly and be sensitive to others. (ooopppps, that is just another good topic popped up!)

Bye for now and let us all TWEET and SHOUT! :)
