KOKO PIMENTEL to 2016 losers: Move on, Duterte is our president up to 2022. Pimentel said this in reply to rumors about an oust-Duterte campaign. . . .
Well, it would seem with this that Pimentel is not interested in introducing a bill that would create a law for the conduct of a recall election for any president, or calling for a charter change to a parliamentary system with a regular vote-of-confidence call, as he did not mention any of these in his critique as possible options for the future, a future freed finally from the dictatorial tendencies of our presidential system.
It would also seem that Pimentel is intent on merely preaching acquiescence to all the whims of an elected official within his term, and on preaching as well the ideal that all the people can and must do is "move on", that is to say, take all the blows when they don't like what their president is doing anymore, likely believing perhaps that the people's mistake at electing that president can only be their punishment---thus his sermon practically saying we must allow a president to do as he pleases with the nation and country he was elected to be the sole brain of for a term, with nary a complaint from us towards any form of bloodbath this president might be imposing.
If I got Koko Pimentel correctly with this reading of his statement, then I would be inclined to believe in his idiocy towards the concept of democracy. I wonder if his version of democracy is what informs the "Demokratiko Pilipino" phrase in his party's name, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino. He might be reminded that "revolution" is part and parcel of the demos + kratos (democratic) concept, if demos + kratos is to be clarified to his kokote (grey matter) as "the people's rule". Otherwise, he would be well advised to change his party's name to Partido Dutertards ng Pilipinas. [S / -I]
