Enrile vs. Cayatano

I think both have their own point of views. I think that senate is senate and there should be no seniors or juniors in here. You are free to express your opinion if you see there is something wrong with it. The fact that the practice of distributing this excess fund is given at the discretion of the senate president I think makes him powerful enough to really favor his allies over those that are not that close to him. I think Cayetano has a point here, the practice should be stopped already because it looks like there is discrimination in the distribution of it. Since there are no rules on this one then I guess Enrile has every right to decide for the fund and has broken no rule on it when he distributed it. Even COA has seen there was nothing wrong with the distribution of it on his colleagues in the senate. It is a matter of putting it on rules so the practice should be stopped once and for all.

the way i see it is they are both wrong. not one of them is right.i wonder why they won when they run for senator. they won not because they are good but their names are just familiar to everyone. i personally dont vote for people who have been elected before becausei believe once an politician win he should do everything for the good of their country but i havent found it in them.

I haven't heard much about Cayetano and Enrile's squabble. What I've heard about was Santiago going against Enrile over the same issue. But if what you mentioned about the constitution is true, then Enrile has every right to distribute the money however he sees fit. Furthermore, Cayetano can only question Enrile in a polite and inquisitive manner rather than bombard him with speculations and mud-slinging.

I do not know which one is the lesser evil but when it comes to respect, you only get it when you deserve it. I cannot understand why the budget for these senators are not equal. Are there favored senators here? I see injustice and unfairness and we should not support these things.
