Asian parliament endorsed.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Carlito Pablo
ISLAMABAD-House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. succeeded in getting the 5th General Assembly of the 40-nation Association of Asian Parliamentarians for Peace to unanimously endorse his idea of an Asian Parliament.
"We believe fervently that the vision we in the AAPP share of an Asia without dividing lines is no longer just a distant dream," De Venecia said in his keynote speech before the assembly.
De Venecia emerged from the meeting flashing the two-thumbs-up sign to members of the Philippine delegation.
"This decision is of great strategic importance because the 40 member-parliaments of the AAPP account for 60 percent of the world's population," said the Speaker, as he emphasized the need for an Asia that was integrated socially, economically and politically.
It was a sweet victory for De Venecia who has been campaigning for an Asia-wide parliament even as he has yet to make a significant breakthrough in his pet dream of getting the Philippines to adopt a parliamentary system.
