The Chambers of the Papas (and the Mamas)

IT’S Father’s Day tomorrow, the day when children are supposed to give honor to fathers. If children can give the highest homage to fathers by following their footsteps, making them role models, then many senators and congressmen are paying the highest tribute to their fathers. Are these legislators worthy of admiration for paying such honor to their fathers?

There’s Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, son of former Senator and former President Erap Estrada. Let’s hear from Jinggoy: “Naging mayor ng San Juan si Erap; naging mayor ng San Juan din ako. Naging senador si Erap, naging senador din ako. Nakulong si Erap; nakulong din ako.”
