                    [Title] => The dumbing of politics
                    [Summary] => An assortment of comedians, clowns, buffoons and jokers now attends the country’s politics.  Filipinos who have seen better times wonder why the impressive  leaders of yesteryears – Tañada,  Diokno, Salonga, Laurel, Recto and Lacson,  to name but a few –  do not have worthy successors  among the dramatis personae  of our contemporary political theatre.  As one scans those who now lead in the governance of the nation, one finds mostly caricatures of what senators, cabinet members and other national officials should be and in the past had been often enough.
