FRANCISCO S. TATAD

WE have not seen anything like this before. A combination of forces and a series of events have created so much instability within the nation, and put our people at the mercy of unreason in the hands of our power-driven politicians. In a healthy and normal democratic environment, issues are debated on the basis of moral, legal and rational principles, which define the common good, between the administration and the opposition, among reasonable men and women. In our present setting, the political opposition has been reduced into a daydream, a mere figment of the imagination.National decisions are imposed by an artificial “supermajority,” conceived in and sired by sheer opportunism and patent disregard for what is right and what is wrong. They expect everyone to submit to their weirdest official ideas without opposition or dissent.
