Real Talk: No Amount Of Violence Will Make Jason VOORHEES' Arguments To Defend A "Marcos Parliamentary", REAL


The fool Jason VOORHEES may be silent -- for now! Did Jason VOORHEES lose a fight against Freddy Krueger? Kidding aside, elections are around the corner, and it's time to look back at that fool Jason VOORHEES and what he typed at Get Real Philippines (GRP). I wrote a response to Jason VOORHEES" nonsense but the guy is SO CONVINCED at his blunder. Does that idiot know how to read or does he only know how to argue nonsense. If all else fails, I assume that he may wear his hockey mask, get a machete, and GO OUT ON A KILLING RAMPAGE.

Arguing with that Jason VOORHEES fellow as entertaining (and STRESSFUL) at the same time. It's crazy how the guy even takes the quotes OUT OF CONTEXT. The way he quotes things is like a series of body parts that splatter everywhere. I'd call his argument A BLOODY MESS -- the same way that Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th Franchise leaves people in a horrifying mess. Now, here's a comment I'd like to share this idiot comment that he made:

Sean Akizuki,

Seems to me you are clueless and no idea on specifics.

I already gave you the basis in my previous statement why I thought it was modified parliamentary government: because of the issuance of Presidential Decree by Marcos Sr which you did not refute, although I would agree it was more like a fascist rule but it was nevertheless a parliamentary government. I guess you have no idea that 1973 constitution was modified several times and why Marcos Sr, as you said, was ousted as a president, not a prime minister. Here I did my research and will spoonfeed you with facts:

“The 1976 amendments to the 1973 constitution were: an Interim Batasang Pambansa (IBP) substituting for the Interim National Assembly, the President would also become the Prime Minister and he would continue to exercise legislative powers until martial law should have been lifted. The Sixth Amendment authorized the President to legislate: Whenever in the judgment of the President there exists a grave emergency or a threat or imminence thereof, or whenever the Interim Batasang Pambansa or the regular National Assembly fails or is unable to act adequately on any matter for any reason that in his judgment requires immediate action, he may, in order to meet the exigency, issue the necessary decrees, orders or letters of instructions, which shall form part of the law of the land.”

Notice above the issuance of decrees as part of the law of the land, which I cited in my previous comment as a function of prime minister.

Now the reason why Marcos Sr was ousted as president and not as a prime minister:

“The 1981 amendments to the 1973 constitution, the parliamentary system was modified: executive power was restored to the President; direct election of the President was restored; an Executive Committee composed of the Prime Minister and not more than fourteen members was created to “assist the President in the exercise of his powers and functions and in the performance of his duties as he may prescribe;” and the Prime Minister was a mere head of the Cabinet.”

That 1981 amendment is an answer to your incessant Cesar Verata theory as a mere puppet of president Marcos Sr.

I hope you will not accuse me of spreading disinformation now. I already justified my answers for your convenience. Next time, you do your research and not just rely on your opinion and the opinion of others.

I wonder if Jason VOORHEES has bothered to do further research. For one, to REFUTE Jason VOORHEES' stupidity, one needs to DO RESEARCH. In fact, one can think about looking at the SPECIFICS. Is this guy even smarter than the late Lee Kuan Yew? LKY handled Singapore and knew how a parliamentary was running. LKY even called Cesar Virata as NOTHING MORE THAN A NONSTARTER. Jason VOORHEES tries to "debunk" my Virata puppet theory with what? Misquoting again? What happened to Ninoy Aquino's claim that the Empire of Marcos was a parliamentary form of government WITHOUT A PARLIAMENT?! The Empire of Marcos granted him ABSOLUTE POWER. That's very different than how parliamentary governments WITH A MONARCH WORK! If Virata was no puppet then think why would LKY call him a NONSTARTER and NO POLITICAL LEADER? Where in the world can we even find a prime minister WHO IS A MERE HEAD OF THE CABINET in a real parliamentary system? 

Of course, Jason VOORHEES has his "best rebuttal" which is one BLOODY STUPID ARGUMENT after the other:

Marcos years was a modified parliamentary system but it was parliamentary nonetheless if we based on functions and form, not on whose opinion like yours or that of Lee Kuan Yew. For example Marcos Sr. issued presidential decrees, and they were given same effect as those of republic acts as official laws of the land. In presidential, president cannot issue such decree with same effect of republic act. Gloria Arroyo tried it before when she was president, but it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

The opinion of the GREAT LKY doesn't matter in this matter? Jason VOORHEES should've learned that the president, in a parliamentary system, is ceremonial. As Ninoy said it as purely ceremonial, tagatanggap ng credentials, takabukas lang ng pinto. I wonder if the guy to take his claims to any distinguished school in Singapore.

Marcos, while he was more emperor than president, even gave these remarks that SHOULD'VE ALREADY SHUT JASON VOORHEES' STUPIDITY:

The adoption of certain aspects of a parliamentary system in the amended Constitution does not alter its essentially presidential character. Article VII on the Presidency starts with this provision: ‘the President shall be the Head of State and Chief Executive of the Republic of the Philippines.’ Its last section is an even more emphatic affirmation that it is a presidential system that obtains in our government. Thus: all powers vested in the President who, by virtue of his election by the entire electorate, has an indisputable claim to speak for the country as a whole. Moreover, it is he who is explicitly granted the greater power of control of such ministries. He continues to be the executive, the amplitude and scope of the functions entrusted to him in the formulation of policy and its execution leading to the apt observation by LASI that there is not one aspect of which that does not affect the lives of all.

Marcos' own words reveal that while there were indeed parliamentary features -- it was still PRESIDENTIAL IN a parliamentary system, the president is the Head of State and the prime minister is the chief executive. Man, how BLOODY STUPID can Jason VOORHEES GET? Just because Marcos wasn't honest -- doesn't mean he was automatically wrong to say that his government was still PRESIDENTIAL. Marcos was no national symbol of unity but an EMPEROR RULING WITH AN IRON FIST. The Empire of Marcos was weakened because its despot had been weakened! Did Jason VOORHEES bother to further research? 

Jason VOORHEES may massacre Philippine historians who will DEBUNK his claims. Philippine historians may present proof that the Empire of Marcos was no real parliamentary system. He couldn't even get it that when EXECUTIVE POWER was restored to the president (emperor) -- it wasn't even a real parliamentary system! Did Jason VOORHEES even bother to see the job that Virata had and that Marcos was once BOTH president ahem EMPEROR and prime minister? At that time, Panggulong Bobong Marcos was the crown prince and perhaps heir apparent. The Butasang Pambulsa wasn't a real parliament. The CHEATING ARRANGEMENT of the Butasang Pambulsa NEVER resembled a real parliamentary system!

 Jason VOORHEES might want to go on a rampage against historians too. However, no amount of bloody rampage can argue when facts are revealed. Jason VOORHEES might as well prepare to be apprehended and even SHOT TO DEATH -- should he ever rampage in public, insisting that the Empire of Marcos was a parliamentary system.
