Adding Insult to Injury

Article VII, Section 32 – “Salary. In order to enhance the general welfare, commitment to service and professionalism of nurses, the minimum base pay of nurses working in the public health institutions shall not be lower than salary grade 15…”
The quoted provision above is taken from the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 (Republic Act 9173). Seven years and counting, overworked registered nurses in public health institutions (a.k.a government hospitals) have yet to see the law implemented by the Department of Health.
Like a Thief in the Night
Jun 3rd
The majority block of the house of representatives has succeeded in railroading the approval of House Resolution 1109, a proposal to convene congress into a constituent assembly (Con-Ass) to amend the constitution. The whole thing happened past midnight and surprised the filipino people like a thief in the night.
While there is a valid need to change some provisions of the constitution — it should be done right, by the right people, and at the right time.
And no, Alibaba and his thieves Nograles and his spineless congressmen are not the right people to do it and certainly not at this time using their dastardly methods.
