Why is Senator Chiz Escudero spending so
much time and money – ours to be specific – going after ghost issues in
election automation when, as head of the senate’s oversight committee he should
be doing everything to help it along?
Simple: it keeps him in the limelight and –
more importantly – keeps him RELEVANT. And, as the Senate starts moving into
the elections canvassing mode, he wants to be relevant enough to become a
leading voice in the electoral tribunal. After the Comelec does its job, that
is the next seat of power. Who knows, if failure of elections as he has been
preaching does come true, he may then be in a very “credible” position to take
over the country via being in highest slot in the order of succession should
there be a power vacuum.
