Greed: A scheme is reportedly in the works to ensure control of Tinian politics while simultaneously ignoring the importance of upholding the mandate of the people.

The rumor that Mayor JP may resign in January has reportedly prompted Sen. Francisco M. Borja to introduce legislation that would grant the governor authority to appoint a person in his place. It would do away with the ascendancy provision of the current law.

It may look clever but it ignores the mandate of the people in the election of their public officials. The ascendancy provision would grant former mayor Ray Dela Cruz the opportunity to fill the vacancy. This is reportedly giving Borja nightmares over the loss of political control of leadership.

Isn’t it true that a government’s moral legitimacy comes from the “consent of the governed?” Is it difficult understanding that the transfer of the will of the people to a single person is a violation of their consent? Why pre-empt what’s rightfully the purview of “we the people”? Did you secure their consent, sir? Shouldn’t you learn to enshrine the “consent of the governed” in this and other cases too? Why trash their sentiment? Did you do anything to restore their confidence on the economic front? Or were you snoozing to screw them again like your impending legislation?

It’s basic civics course to honor the “consent of the governed” and not “me, myself and I.” Changing the laws on succession would only trumpet your suspect comprehension of the essence of a “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” No mas!
