Ilocos Norte Rep. Rodolfo Fariñas Pushed to Run Senator
« on: June 27, 2012, 08:53:16 AM »
Administration lawmakers are pushing for Ilocos Norte Rep. Rodolfo Fariñas to be included in the senatorial slate of the Liberal Party (LP) in the coming mid-term elections in 2013.

Fariñas is currently a member of the Nacionalista Party (NP) of Sen. Manny Villar.

Eastern Samar Rep. Ben Evardone, at the regular Ugnayan sa Batasan on Tuesday, said Fariñas’ competence as a lawmaker is beyond question, which could be an asset in the Senate when it comes to legislating laws especially during the impeachment trial of then Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.

"We will be pushing for the inclusion of Congressman Fariñas in the administration slate," said Evardone.

Fariñas, vice chair of the committee on justice of the House of Representatives, was deputy lead prosecutor during the impeachment trial.

Evardone said that although the Ilocos Norte solon did not sign the impeachment complaint, it was enough that his colleague defended it and helped in convicting the chief justice.

Fariñas had said he did not sign the impeachment complaint because it was poorly crafted.

President Benigno S. Aquino III, in his earlier speeches, has said he was eyeing in the senatorial line-up Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara, former Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros, Customs Commissioner Ruffy Biazon, and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Director-General Joel Villanueva. - PNA

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

ugh.  just because he performed well as prosecutor in the corona impeachment trial?  it was a one-off thing, no more, no less.  try reading up on his background, especially how he treated his beauty queen/actress wife who committed suicide.  it might give an idea of what he is as a person.  we forget so soon, doubtless.
