ABOLISH THE SENATE OF THE PHILIPPINES NOW

While the abolition of the Senate may be constitutionally problematic, the issues currently besieging it demand urgent action. The Filipino people deserve legislators who prioritize public service over personal gain and institutional integrity over political survival.

Citizens must therefore focus on holding elected officials accountable — through transparency, independent investigations, and ultimately, the ballot box. But do we have the collective will to demand better from those we have entrusted with power?

Perhaps, for this country’s sake, it would be best if the Senate were abolished altogether.
