Philippine Business of Politics and 2010 Election

According to Wikipedia; Political science is often described as the study of politics defined as "who gets what, when and how". Also; Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. Again, according to Wikipedia; A business (also called a firm or an enterprise) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers, governments or other businesses.

The same meanings for both subjects are defined in the internet and the dictionary. Some articles also discusses the life of business people turn politicians and returning back to business sectors and taking office in the government and going back and forth. In other words, the experience in the business sector is fundamental in shaping policies being crafted in the chambers of congress or the parliaments. However, it is true in many situations that politicians can turn bad and be eaten by a traditional system.

Politics and business may also share the same impact in non-governmental and religious organizations. In every idealist group of people, there is always a traditional system or an organic system. Whichever the case of a system adapted, the tendency of implementing successfully is through the leadership provided and the commitment to continue for improvements. This is not the case in some governments which is run by advantageous or well connected citizens, business monopolies and political dynasties. The hate and love for politicians doing their business in their offices are transparent in the people’s reaction through the times. There are mass protest, mass support and disobedience as in the Philippines case. In a way, long time politicians are already immune to these protest and they know how to react. Just as they know how to play all the tricks in politics they have also learned when to be an ally and an enemy for certain conditions.

The case of Sen. Manny Villar in the Philippines is a typical case of organized removal of him in the senate presidency. The organized agenda is a compromise politicians move to find a balance in the coming presidential election. It is however suspicious that opposition’s against opposition’s group did it to themselves. They seem to be having the same problem as last presidential elections. No opposition president last time won the election because the general vote was divided. This 2010 election is the current business in the senate’s chambers. For sure there will be a lot of demolition job and publicity that will come. The business of politics for the 2010 is serious and with a lot of rumor towards charter change distracts everybody, there is probably a destination that will surprise everybody for the next two years.
