Gordon voiced his indignation over the failure to implement laws or the capricious, arbitrary implementation of laws that are painstakingly crafted in Congress by its two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
‘’And it’s as if we’ve won a Pyrrhic victory all the time when nothing is implemented. We make laws and the men who implement them stick their tongues out, laugh at us and simply do whatever they please and they get away with it,” he said in a privilege speech interpellation during a Senate regular session.
In 2016, following a vote of 15 – 0, the Supreme Court ordered the Comelec to implement the VVPAT provision, which would allow the voter to verify if the choices on the paper record match the choices that he or she actually made on the ballot.Another example cited by Gordon was RA 11235, or the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act, which was enacted into law on March 8, 2019.
