Kaban ni D_BystandeR: MGA BAG-ONG TUBO NGA MGA MAGBABALAOD, LAYO RA SA TAPAD NILA NI SERGING UG JOVY

Gone are the days when the irrepressible and fighting personality of Serging was  the leading figure that prominently appeared in numerous sensational controversies hotly discussed and argued in the hallowed halls of the Philippine Senate, especially during the time when a Japanese personality by the name of "Haruta" was hitting the headlines. And the cool and oozing with confidence, was the smiling face of Senator Jovy Salonga who was described in the Philippines Free Press as making Haruta looked like a small baby in the crib when subjected to Salonga's cross-examination. 

In any case, it was Serging, the Nino Bonito of Cebu, who always fearlessly figured as the leading lawmaker who would not hesitate to make his mind speak out aloud to see to it that he was always there to fight for the interest  and popular cause of his countrymen, much more for his Cebuano constituents. But the present generation of our lawmakers is a far cry of what our leading lawmakers had shown before in every national controversy where their names always graced the headline of our national dailies. But our present crop of lawmakers could be thinking of something to expect out of their silence to speak their minds aloud in this kind of raging controversy that involved the loss of some our brave soldiers in that SAF massacre. Maybe they don't want to antagonize P-Noy and his administration, otherwise they would not be able to expect some Malacañang goodies for them.
