ILOCOS Norte Gov. Imee Marcos is ending her term in 2019, so is Rep. Rudy Fariñas. They’re both grooming their children to follow in their footsteps.

Rudy initiated the investigation and subsequent detention for 55 days of six Ilocos officials for alleged misuse of funds to buy vehicles worth more than R66 million without bidding. If Imee had not appeared before the all-powerful committee on good government of the Big House last Tuesday, if she had not apologized for a libelous statement about a R100 million slush fund to incriminate her, the committee, equivalent to the Senate’s blue ribbon, would have been “forced” to detain the seven of them until 2019, “when the next Congress is elected.”

That threat had previously been aired at a media forum by Reps. Eugene de Vera and Salvador Belaro Jr., and it was not to be taken as a joke, the two insisting on and repeating the phrase “power of Congress” to summon witnesses.

Aware that their audience were aware of the back story framing the two protagonists from a province with a strong dynastic tradition, Rep. De Vera averred that “personalities have nothing to do with the issue,” dismissing the long-held notion that the practice of politics is one played for the people, by the people, for their entertainment, education or miseducation, much like showbiz, the difference being that in the reel world, there are only stars and the rest are extras.

The fate of the six (or seven) hangs: The inquisitors have more questions. Was the fund used for tobacco farmers exclusively? Do farmers need trucks and buses? What loopholes in the law ought to be excised?

The entry of Atty. Juan Ponce Enrile as Imee’s counsel should add a stronger flavor to the brew, ever since the Court of Appeals ruled to release the detainees and the Speaker of the House vowed to abolish that court. The CA is not the venue for this case, the congressmen chorused, “they should go to the Supreme Court.”

Let’s see what Atty. Enrile, who has never lost a case, will say about that as the drama continues to unfold: a clash of clans and the theatrics inherent in exercising the art of the possible in a land where nothing is impossible… at least not in politics.

    I’d also like to mention that most of those that find themselves with out health insurance are generally students, self-employed and those that are without a job. More than half in the uninsured are really under the age of 35. They do not experience they are requiring health insurance because they’re young in addition to healthy. The income is usually spent on property, food, and also entertainment. Many people that do represent the working class either complete or in their free time are not supplied insurance by way of their work so they go without because of the rising expense of health insurance in the us. Thanks for the suggestions you talk about through this site.

    I have seen that now, more and more people are now being attracted to camcorders and the area of pictures. However, really being a photographer, it’s important to first spend so much of your time deciding the model of video camera to buy and moving via store to store just so you can buy the most affordable camera of the trademark you have decided to settle on. But it does not end now there. You also have to consider whether you can purchase a digital digicam extended warranty. Thanks alot : ) for the good guidelines I accumulated from your website.

    One other important area is that if you are an elderly person, travel insurance intended for pensioners is something you must really contemplate. The elderly you are, the more at risk you are for having something awful happen to you while in most foreign countries. If you are never covered by some comprehensive insurance, you could have many serious difficulties. Thanks for expressing your guidelines on this blog.

    It is my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most dangerous cancer. It’s got unusual properties. The more I look at it the more I am certain it does not respond like a true solid tissues cancer. If perhaps mesothelioma is usually a rogue viral infection, so there is the probability of developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination for asbestos open people who are open to high risk with developing long run asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas for this important ailment.

    Thanks for the helpful article. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma cancer has an very long latency period of time, which means that signs and symptoms of the disease would possibly not emerge until finally 30 to 50 years after the initial exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common type and affects the area round the lungs, could cause shortness of breath, chest pains, plus a persistent coughing, which may bring about coughing up bloodstream.

    Thanks for your post. I would also like to comment that the very first thing you will need to perform is check if you really need credit repair. To do that you need to get your hands on a replica of your credit history. That should not be difficult, ever since the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to obtain one cost-free copy of your actual credit report annually. You just have to request that from the right people today. You can either find out from the website for that Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the main credit agencies instantly.

    Another thing I’ve noticed is the fact for many people, less-than-perfect credit is the result of circumstances further than their control. As an example they may are already saddled with illness so they really have high bills for collections. It may be due to a occupation loss and the inability to go to work. Sometimes divorce can truly send the funds in the wrong direction. Thanks sharing your ideas on this blog site.

    Thanks for the thoughts you talk about through this blog. In addition, quite a few young women who become pregnant don’t even seek to get medical health insurance because they dread they probably would not qualify. Although a lot of states now require that insurers present coverage in spite of the pre-existing conditions. Prices on most of these guaranteed options are usually greater, but when thinking about the high cost of medical care it may be a safer strategy to use to protect your own financial future.

    I would like to add when you do not already have got an insurance policy otherwise you do not belong to any group insurance, you may well benefit from seeking the assistance of a health agent. Self-employed or people having medical conditions usually seek the help of any health insurance brokerage. Thanks for your writing.
