Yesterday was a whole new level of dangerous politicking, however. Pacquiao set the motion for a major Senate realignment: Liberal Party senators Frank Drilon, Kiko Pangilinan, Bam Aquino, and Risa Hontiveros are no longer Senate President Pro Tempore, chair of the Senate committee on agriculture, chair of the committee on education, and chair of the committee on health, respectively. Granted, the new alignment isn’t so bad yet, but it’s the blatant grab of power from just one specific party which makes it worse, and easier for the majority to concentrate their power.
