REFERENCING a supposed Congressional tradition of according the Office of the Vice President absolute courtesy in relation to questions regarding the "confidential funds controversy" involving the said Office, Congressman Rodante Marcoleta invoked the supremacy of that tradition over congressmen's queries, which latter by the way is in itself a part of the tradition or anatomy of Congressional hearings. Congressman Marcoleta forgets that while it's true that Congress operates with certain of those traditions installed through the decades, it exists solely on the promise that, as a legislative and enquiry body, it might also be able to create little or otherwise major revolutions for the people. In the absence of this promise, the necessity of a Congress or the rationale behind having a Congress at all disappears, and Marcoleta as a congressman would as a consequence of that disappearance cease to have a reason to exist as well.
