I’M thinking politics from having received an invitation to a political powwow--Manila Polo Club in Makati tonight, Friday, January 29, at 6 o’clock.
Former congressman Gilbert Remulla invited me to his fundraising party, which got me to thinking about his senatorial bid on May 10. Remulla is the spokesman of the Nacionalista Party, whose presidential standard bearer for May 10 is Senator Manny Villar. Gilbert Remulla ran and won in the Congressional elections of May 2001 and 2004 representing the 2nd district of Cavite.
One of the youngest members of Congress, Remulla’s portfolio shows noteworthy legislations: Republic Act 9165 Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, and Republic Act 9287 or The Act Increasing the Penalty for the Illegal Numbers Game. He had pending a number of bills in Congress, which include House Bill No. 185 seeking the abolition of the Sangguniang Kabataan and replacing it with a youth representative; House Bill No. 2452 which I believe Remulla filed before Sen. Enrile looked into the cellular phone abuses and the need to lower the cost of usage.
Remulla’s House Bill No. 5310 addresses the serious problem of minimizing the use of plastic bags and styrofoam disposables. These nonbiodegrasdables sit in the dumps for decades. These will dissentegrate way into the distant future, and exude its t fumes ioxic fumes into the atmosphere to be inhaled by our grandchildren in their old age.
Another one of Remulla’s advocacies for the people is population management and control, which I support wholeheartedly. Sensible, intelligent Filipinos believes using condom to avoid too frequent pregnancies among the very poor. And the use of condoms is not a mortal sin leading to eternal hell.
Gilbert Cesar Remulla, seventh and youngest child of Governor Remulla and Ditas Remulla, did his elementary schooling at De La Salle, high school at the Ateneo de Manila, and UP Diliman for his college education. At UP, Gilbert earned academic excellence; did extra-curricular activities, was national president of AIESEC, and an active member of the Upsilon Sigma Phi fraternity. He spent his childhood in Bel-Air, Makati and Imus, Cavite.
From UP in ‘93 with the degree in Broadcast Communication, Remulla joined ABS-CBN as part of its news team as a production assistant, to become a reporter, and a regular in the morning and evening news. In 1997, Remulla took up his master’s degree in International Affairs, concentration in International Media & Communications at Columbia University in New York City. This led to his involvement with the CNN and the United Nations.
While at Columbia, Remulla met Georgia Diaz Roa, whom he married in Roman Catholic rites in 2000. They have three daughters, Roxanne, Rocio, and Reanna.

Why GMA cannot, according to the Constitution, appoint a successor to Chief Justice Puno:
The word "controversy" is always in the arguments of those with vested interests. On presidential appointments, there are two separate, non-conflicting provisions of the Constitution. The two provisions are collaborative, harmonious, reciprocal. The Constitution is very clear and conclusive:
1) "The President cannot make appointments 60 days prior to the elections and until June 30." No president can make appointments from March 10 to June 30 (60 days prior to elections, and 50 days after elections).
2) "The President must fill a vacancy in the Supreme Court within 90 days from the time the position becomes vacant." The President must fill the CJ vacancy between May 17, when CJ Puno retires, and August 17. But after May 10, GMA is no longer president.
GMA will no longer be president on May 17 when CJ Puno retires (elections is May 10). *** Dahli_a@yahoo.com
