Chapter Thirty Five: The Appointments

EXT. AERIAL VIEW OF THE FORESTS OF THE COMMISSION, NEAR THE BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT OF PEACE - DAY

The camera moves slowly, overlooking the natural rhythm of the trees, whose leaves serve as a reminder of the long summer, as well as an abrupt warning for the autumn ahead. Multiple frames will suddenly appear, showing historical events that helped shape the Commission on Appointments, and then the screen will return to the trees.

The Commission on Appointments, the masterpiece of the Fathers of this great nation envisioned a union that is fair, artistic, humanistic, and with precise political mechanisms, a long time ago when the endless wars have been fought, won and lost, and that of the courageous warriors who have been murdered fighting the battles which watered these lands with the presence of their sacrificial blood, that has since been held as a patriotic act. It is a dark past that the historians have seen and written about, but it is the Founders who wrote about the Appointments that eventually changed the course of their storied history.

The Appointments served as the unofficial constitution of the country that laid the foundation for the success of their union. This federation, the means that ended the senseless dominance of one territory, dominion, or kingdom over the other, has been critically studied, and that of the pen of those who gave the Appointments its successful life.

But much has been said about the merits of the Commission, without looking back from history to determine the causes of failure, if any, over which fairness and political thoughts have been considered unfairly executed or modified. Much has also been deemed, arguments yes or no, that the founders have created a perfect system that is beyond injury on face value.

But slowly, the Appointments have been tested in the Judicial and Bar Council, to look into its failures and limitations in recent memory. Cases, both affirmed or dismissed, have produced intricate relationships within the Commission and the desire to share power upon the extension of such authority, over which local affairs has been an appointed right.

As the experiment continues to be tested by time, the Appointments, together with its oversight utility and authority designed for self-adjustment in cases of abuse, will face a deeper scrutiny as to the well-functioning of something considered as a perfect system, when dominance still exists, but has been accepted as an open secret, nonetheless.

To wit, the flaws have been completely disregarded; it was indeed abandoned over false assumptions to what a perfect system was, and they have never been faced by the enemy straight in the face, through the fault of their own.
