Dutertards And Yellowtards Need To Support Shifting Towards A Parliamentary Philippines

It's the real issue that both Dutertards and Yellowtards just have no end to their exchange of name callings and rude remarks, right? Not all but most of them tend to do that. Just reading through Frank Baraan's Twitter is like looking at clickbait into another useless better. Dutertards and Yellowtards tend to tear each other a lot. The 2019 elections had #OtsoDiretso had its rabid supporters vs. rabid critics.You have people comparing the performances of both Rodrigo R. Duterte and Noynoy Aquino  as presidents. Lately, there was even a recent report that Noynoy said that Duterte created an "unnecessary problem" with the ABiaS-CBN" shutdown". Others say it's best for ABiaS-CBN to remain shut down. Others say it should be renewed. Reading through their comments is either entertaining or irritating. Both Dutertards and Yellowtards have a LOT of growing up to do.

Why should they support a parliamentary system? It's because the parliamentary system is built on competition. If today the Dutertards are represented by the Majority Bloc then the Yellowtards are represented by the Minority Bloc. Want to see whose better between Duterte and Noynoy? Want to see whose better between PDP-Laban and the Liberal Party? What better way than to actually have a formal debate at the Weekly Question Hour. It's not the media's job to do check and balance but to report EVERYTHING that happens. That means these debates will be live for all to see. You have spectators between Dutertards and Yellowtards on-set in the arena at the House of Commons. Maybe, we can have Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the Speaker of the House of Commons to moderate the debate.

We can consider the set-up of the Philippine Parliament for Dutertards and Yellowtards. You have Prime Minister Rodrigo R. Duterte, Deputy Prime Minister Alan Peter S. Cayetano, Opposition Leader Noynoy Aquino, and Deputy Opposition Leader Leni Loud Robredo. Both sides will have the PDP-Laban (as the majority) and the Liberal Party (as the minority) to have a voice on each side. That means Pilo Hilbay can't say, "Don't watch the prime minister." Instead, he will end up saying, "Watch us prove the prime minister wrong this week!" It will be a spectacle when both PDP-Laban and Liberal Party will debate head-on regarding solutions. Both sides are given rules to follow. That means Duterte can't speak rudely but should speak formally, Cayetano can't be balimbing, Noynoy can't say, "Hindi ko alam!", and Leni Loud needs to be prepared.  The game is set that everyone must have a 7.5 minutes ONLY limit per person. That means talking and talking isn't allowed. Antonio Trillanes IV will need to take note of that if ever he's the opposition leader.

You can think of the reactions that could happen especially on a real live broadcast. It will really put on a competitive spirit. Both Duterte and Noynoy will shake hands before and after the debate. Both the PDP-Laban and the Liberal Party will have to abide with the rules or risk getting yanked out of the Parliament. Both sides will discuss all the important issues such as budgeting or in times of crisis. Besides, why I'm in favor of Leni Loud operating her vehicle known as Angat Buhay is because there's the need for competition. It means that people will have alternative platforms if they want to donate to the government. Ligo Sardines is free to donate to either Duterte's project or Leni Loud's Angat Buhay. I think Leni having Angat Buhay and Duterte firing Manuelito Luna should be the start of competition. Healthy competition will keep both relief efforts going. Leni Loud will have to prove herself worthy and so will Duterte. Then they can both discuss possible solutions. Duterte and Noynoy will have to present evidences for their argument. For example, Duterte will argue that enhanced community quarantine can be modified while Noynoy will argue that we can shift to general community quarantine. In the end, the results are in and it will show both sides of the coin. Whatever Duterte does right and whatever Noynoy does right is acknowledged. Whatever both sides did wrong will be dumped.

That way, both Dutertards and Yellowtards will have a more credible platform to argue about, right?
