When the senators had to defend the language of their law...grrr!

unfortunately, that is what they are Paid for..to talk, to argue, but supposedly the most important part; "to pass a law that would be beneficial" to the people. too bad on most occasion, they just want to keep arguing.i believe gordon made a mistake too when he created a law that supposed to protect children or given amnesty which has now been an advantage for masterminds to USE children to do crimes. if only some Pinoy businessman would be kind enough to buy those toll fee ticket booths and the roads so that this increases won't continue. some day, people would only have no choice but not to use big roads or..simply walk/ride on the fields.

Yes. This is very true. Makes you wonder how much are we paying for all these useless bickerings at the senate and house of representatives. In my previous job, I had the opportunity to lead a small staff in drafting a law for the armed forces. During public sessions where we required to attend, there were so much talk and debate of petty, nonsense issues. Only a few participate and many committe members are absent. Those who are present are just there to provide quorum. What a pity! They try to project to the public that they are smart but even grade school pupils can easily rebut their stand on the issues presented. Well, laws should be written in a way that it will be easily understood, direct to the point and no double meanings. Sometimes they enact a bill hapahazardly just so it can be part of statistics again... the more laws passed, the better! Sus! Anyway, if you really want to understand a law, you can go to the Congress library and research on the minutes of all the discussions made. In that way, you can understand clearly the real intentions of that particular law.

Laws are open to interpretation so its really hard especially with tons of lawyer willing to find something wrong with it. Its almost impossible not to see any loophole unless they really cover every details which is also impossible. The only thing to do really is let the Supreme Court decide or let the CHA CHA begin.
