I've just heard it from commentaries and interviews of Mr. Ted Failon in their program along with Ms. Korina Sanchez at "Tambalang Failon at Sanchez" in DZMM radio station of ABS-CBN this morning.
At the height of passing E-VAT law, this party list lead its member to rally vigorously opposing the enactment of this bill. Along with E-VAT they also strongly show their dis gusto with the current political dynasty happening in our government.
And now just before the election take place on May 14, they endorse the author of the bill they hated most Mr. EVAT Ralph Recto.What's more, they also endorsed Allan Peter Cayetano and Coco Pimentel who are already have relatives in the senate. Allan is brother of current senator Pia Cayetano while Coco is a son of Nene Pimentel also in current senate post. These two candidates are well fit to the senate but having relatives there will ground them to political dynasty.
When Ted Failon asked Teddy Casino a representative of Bayan Muna, he just said they don't have enough option but to play with the politics game in order to survive in political arena. How sad that this party list that I used to admire for their stand for the masses and poor interest will end up like they are being succumb to current spoiled political system that currently reigning in our country.
Now I don't know if its appropriate to name them "Bayan Muna" or it would be better to call them "Kami Muna" or "Bayad Muna". I will remember this day "When Bayan Muna lost their principle". Hope you Filipinos out there remember this when May 14 comes...

When Bayan Muna members and leaders support Gloria in ousting president Estrada in 2001,they already lost their principles.Imagine to attain their goals they need to conspire with Gloria and the business sector whose aim is to steal the presidency with no valid basis,and their basis coming from a demonstrably corrupt politician that is Chavit.I think,if i'm not mistaken they also took part in the ousting of former president Marcos.

We know for a fact and its not hidden truth that this party list is a from of NPA along with others party lists that pretending to be a representative of the great mass of Filipinos.
Its sad cause there was a time when I admired them for vigilantly exposing some of government's illegal and corrupt activities and they succeeded in making the public believed that they were such good association for the interest of the people. Now they lost their integrity, I wonder if someone will still believe the sincerity of their motive. They are now can be line with other "trapos" in our dirty politics that transforming their body to butterfly and jump over other parties just to survive their political ambition.
