A group of businessmen are talking to congress now and suggesting that it introduce a divorce bill which will enable the Filipino People to divorce their own government. This is in the wake of the non-stop scandals that Filipinos have been subjected to all these years. It is becoming clearer and clearer that officials in the Philippines believe that their tenures are forever, judging by the way they lord it over everybody. It’s as if there was no tomorrow or Judgment Day.

When asked what will take the place of the government, they are suggesting that we ‘outsource’ for a new one. For President, we could get Bill Clinton or Lee Kwan Yew. For the congress, we could get any previous members of the parliaments of England, Scotland, or even the Knesset of Israel.

The Catholic Church is expected not to pose any objections.

Deposed President Joseph Estrada seems to have a problem choosing who his Vice-President will be if indeed he can run for President in 2010. He is very close to the dimunitive Mayor of Makati Jejomar Binay who is willing to run with him. And then there is Senator Loren Legarda, very popular Presidential candidate who has offered to step down and be his VP.

But Erap remains undecided and wary of them and may even choose someone else, according to sources. It is probably because his former VP Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who helped topple him is described as ‘maliit at babae.’
