Should it be scientifically proven that Filipinos are sympathetic to underdogs? Needless to explain why in the history of Philippine Basketball, team of Ginebra San Miguel draws a lot of fans. And recently, to Jessica Sanchez being the "lesser" American.
In the conclusion of impeachment trial of CJ Corona, Sen. Lito Lapid came to the floor with dignity and respect to his unbecoming. Unbecoming for a College degree, admission that he barely understand the laws and can hardly speak English.
Yesterday, he came to the rostrum with no prepared speech, spoke plainly in Tagalog and just voted based on his conscience. He was also wondering why a high school graduate holds the future of the highest magistrate. I admired his honesty, humility and courage to accept his weaknesses.Truly the gentleman from Pampanga. For me, his vote is "unadulterated", just based on alterego.
I did not vote for Lito Lapid but he was elected. Simply because more Filipinos believe that he will be a good senator more than I have thought. What we have thought personally is sometimes really not the thought of the majority. This is where democracy works. I have not heard any of his astounding performance in the Senate either than being waited to do wrong or being watched what he will do wrong.
To his fellow senators, he became the Chairmain for Senate Committee on Tourism. He is the gentleman of the masses and warrior of social responsibility. Senator Lapid maybe forever branded as Leon Guerrero and for his moment last impeachment, for me, not anymore the underdog. :) — at GMA Network Center.
