Outstanding Congressman Award 2015

FOREWORD here seems to be a thin line between Legislators and the
Executive branch with its constituent all vying for deliverable
Tthey perceive due them. While these positions are national
in nature with Congress having to convene in the NCR region, their
mandates originate in the multiple districts and party representations
and affiliations for the Party List Representatives. The mandate for
the twenty four (24) Senators are clear cut when it comes to their
national constituency base being the same way for the Vice President
and President. But how to educate the masses who require a better
understanding of their leaders? A tough act for sure!

Unfortunately, the District Congressmen and women have to
work hard at both their legislative responsibilities be it for policy
and legislation as well as fulfill the perceived deliverable their
constituencies require. Budgets of course become problematic and
become a heavy burden not only during the election periods but
over-all for the three year term they pursue. While an education is
necessary for the voters to understand the differences in positions,
it needs to wait patiently for the academic institutions to do their
job. Time is of the essence and yet our legislators have to bear the
brunt of discontent should this perception mutate towards what is
perceived as accomplishments.

Perception after all is truth either which way one looks at it, and
however disadvantageous and unfair that it is, our legislators carry
this burden seemingly to no end in sight. There is a need to highlight
if not generate an awareness towards policy and legislation vis-à-vis
over projects and deliverable s the masses can only comprehend.
While the work and successes need amplification what better way to
promote this effort and accomplishment other than to be
awarded “Outstanding.”

SMI submits to the issues narrated and proudly presents the 2015
OUTSTANDING CONGRESSMAN AWARD now on its
24th anniversary.

What better reference other than the testament to ones
accomplishments with public measure all attributes given to
the awardees.

Kudos to the 2015 OUTSTANDING CONGRESSMAN AWARDEES!
