Officially, the committees’ focus are listed in:
http://www.congress.gov.ph/committees/

In terms of example, how about this recent article on agrarian reform. Makita met dagiti inherent/potential opportunities for abuse and exploitation of the people: http://www.bulatlat.com/2007/10/centuries-old-problem

Baguio residents are more politically sophisticated and media is more acessible; Therefore, an elected official from Baguio is deeply scrutinized compared to elected officials in remote Apayao or Abra etc.

Thank you.

That sounded like letting the cat guard the fishbowl, so to speak.

But I encourage you to further expand on your points (which I agree with) and we, as we sometimes do here, will upload it as a blog post.

It might be that our Reps have gotten in these positions because there are no takers, I really don’t know. But looking at only the numbers, having four (in seven) Cordi Reps holding committee chairs is unprecedented. Let’s give them credit for that. (But of course also call them Damomo if they are acting like Damomos).

It will be helpful to know what these committees do. What issues are there. What parties or interests are competing in a power struggle.

What in the Congressmen’s backgrounds or life make them qualified to be in these committees.

Which interest groups are salivating in glee from the composition of each committee?
