                    [Summary] => 



In some contests where victory or defeat depends on the decisions of judges like boxing bouts, the protagonist who wants to win sees to it that his victory is clear cut by showing much superior skills as to leave the judges no other choice but give him the nod. Knocking out the opponent in the ring is of course the surest way to leave no room for doubt in the minds of judges. A knockout even convinces the opponent that he lost to the better man. This is just what Pacquiao did to Morales via a 3rd round knockout.

The losers in the peoples’ initiative petition (PI) have all the right to ask for a reconsideration of the Supreme Court (SC) ruling. But again they are doing it the wrong way. They are presenting their arguments in the press before presenting it in the SC. Instead of convincing the public or some of the opinion writers and columnists, they should convince the SC Justices about the soundness of their arguments.

To be sure, there are really a number of proposed changes that are convincingly meritorious and undoubtedly beneficial to the people as staunchly insisted by their proponents. While the blessings of a parliamentary system of government with the same people on the saddle remain to be seen, there is really a growing consensus that trying this new system looks more auspicious than continuing to bear the brunt of the existing form of government that has only brought more hardships to our people especially the poor.

It will be a test on the mettle, independence, integrity and probity of the newly appointed Commissioners.
