An Open Letter to the Senate and Congress: Hear the People, Not Just Your Politics

By: Jasmine Bonifacio

It is disheartening to witness the current state of affairs in the Senate and Congress. Instead of prioritizing the well-being and interests of the people, many lawmakers seem more focused on defending their own positions, political affiliations, and personal agendas. The true essence of public service appears to have been overshadowed by conflicts, political maneuvering, and a quest for power.

It is distressing to observe how ordinary citizens are often only valued during election seasons, when politicians seek support, make promises, and pledge their dedication to serving the public. However, once elected, it seems as though the concerns of the people are pushed aside.

While the populace continues to face challenges, some members of the Senate and Congress seem preoccupied with safeguarding their own interests and influence. It is evident that, for certain individuals, the welfare of the nation has taken a backseat to personal gain.

An malamros hini nga sitwasyon, yana nga nag pahayag kita hin pag sukna ha ira, tatawagon naman kita hini nga mag samok na tawo, or babansagan na TERORISTA.

DARA INI KAY NADIRI HIRA NA MAGIN PUKAW AN TAWO.. GUSTO LA NIRA NA MAGIN SUNOD SUNURAN LA AN TAWO HA GUSTO HAN MGA NAG HAHADI NA KLASE.

In a functioning democracy, citizens should feel empowered to voice their grievances and hold their leaders accountable without fear of reprisal.

MAkasurubo an sugad hini na sitwasyon, labi na nga igin igin hatag naton an TAPOD HINI NA MGA TAWO nga aada yana ha SENADO ngan KONGRESO nga hira an mag bibitbit han aton interes, pero an natatabo WARAY… interes la nira an importante.

Public service should not be reduced to a means of advancing personal agendas and self-interest.

Elected officials must remember that their positions are derived from the people, and they bear a responsibility to genuinely serve the public, rather than perpetuate political games and rivalries endlessly.

Makapoy na pag pinamati hit mga binuwa.. Makapoy na pag kinita hiton iyo drama.
