Bill to rename Philippines filed by proponent of failed impeachment bid

 

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 12) —True independence can only happen if the Philippines sheds its name, says congressman and Magdalo-Party List Representative Gary Alejano.

 

House Bill No. 5867 or "An Act Constituting a Geographic Renaming Commission to Rename Our Country" was filed by the solon on June 7. It was released by his office on June 11, a day before Independence Day.

 

"If we want to be truly independent, then we should throw away the bonds of colonialism by establishing our own national identity," he said in a statement. The bill calls for the creation of a commission to look into renaming the Philippines.

"Bill" sounds too informal, should at least use "William" :56da64b64cbd8_36_6_31:

Phillippines got its name back when King Philip II of Spain was the main man in these parts, so in keeping with tradition, perhaps rename it to Xijinpings?

Well with only 2 people in the right-wing Magdalo-Party List, this bill isn't going anywhere.

I’ll try not to be sarcastic (although I am very tempted to do so), so I’ll opt for a Tagalog name… how about???
