Pending Civil, Administrative and/or Criminal Cases vs Political Ambition

Tweet

Since the announcement of now Sen. Antonio Trillianes of his plans to run for a seat in the Senate, I already had these questions in mind: How come we allow people with pending cases in the court run for an elected post? Should our constitution be revisited and ammended specifically on the qualification/s for the person running for public office? Would it be better if persons with pending cases, either civil, criminial or administrative, be disqualified to run for public office? In my opinion, if such persons will be disqualified to run for public office, it will make our electoral process a little bit clean. clean in the sense that we know that there are lesser people running for public office whose intention is not to serve the people but to have the immunity and the power to influence the proceedings of his/her pending cases. Also, we can save time not talking about how can an imprisoned or detained elected official serve his constituents and do his duty behind bar, for we should not allow special treatments be given to prisoners. I welcome the ruling given by Makati Regional Trial Court Judge Oscar Pimentel who decided on the petition of Sen. Trillianes NOT to be allowed to attend the senate sessions, and to setup office in his detention cell. He may be a Senator now, but he was a detained military personnel when he run for the senate. Perhaps what he should do is seek for bail, not for special treatment for this will only make the people discuss unnecessary issues instead of discussing measures on how we can address the threats brought by the nearing droughts.
