A Parliamentary Philippines Would've Ran Over Noynoy With A Vote Of No Confidence Last 2016

Do you remember the time when Noynoy Aquino and Joseph Pabaya both made the promise that if they couldn't finish the expressway then they'll allow themselves to be run over by a train? I decided to write about how things would have been different under a parliamentary system in relation the problem of the broken promise. Remember, they said if they can't finish the expressway from Baclaran to Bacoor then they'll allow themselves to be run over by a train.

Under a parliamentary system, this would actually get Noynoy ousted out for a better prime minister or chancellor. The failure to create the expressway that he promised would displease not just the Majority Bloc but also the Minority Bloc. This would really call for a vote of no confidence against Noynoy and the call for Pabaya's termination and possible imprisonment for misuse of funds.

The problem of the presidential setting was that throwing him out of office or letting him fulfill his promise will mean Jejomar Binay will have to sit as president until May 2016. Under a parliamentary system, a vote of no confidence wouldn't have that much of a problem. Would have Noynoy been ran over by a vote of no confidence then chances are he would get replaced by a better leader.
