Hail PDP-Laban, the new KBL! Now, even most members of the House minority are allies of the administration and its party, PDP-Laban. However, don’t be surprised if cries of “tyranny of numbers” will again surface in the House, what with the PDP-Laban looming as the new KBL. In these instances, the PDP-Laban, the supposed party with ideology, is baring more fangs and is spewing more venom than the unlamented KBL. Among the various opposition groups then, the PDP-Laban headed by MP Nene Pimentel was among the most vigilant in fighting excesses by the KBL and the martial-law regime.
