To no one’s surprise, the House quickly got rid of the second effort to impeach President Arroyo. Some distraction is still being provided by the fight between Taguig-Pateros Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano and First Gentleman Mike Arroyo. We would prefer that lawmakers are instead distracted from Cha-cha by the proposed budget for 2007 and other pressing matters. But it’s clear that the full focus of the House majority is now on amending the Constitution.
