If you think Ricky Lo’s interview with Anne Hathaway is
embarrassing and awkward, where were you when Allan Peter Cayetano and Juan
Ponce Enrile are busy throwing mud at each other?
If you think that Ricky Lo’s irritating set of questions
fueled the inner bitchiness of Anne Hathaway, perhaps Senate President Enrile
can recalibrate your standards of what ‘punching low’ means when he retaliated
to the Cayetano siblings by throwing accusations to their deceased father, the
late Rene Cayetano.
If Carlos Celdran can be jailed because of his disrespectful

the church violating the simple constitutional provision separating the church

If you think it is only in a monarchy that power and
position can be passed down from one member of the family to another wait till
you visit the beautiful country of the Philippines. Not convinced yet? Check
the family tree in the Senate and in the Congress. If you don’t want to go far,
go check the last three generations which occupied your city hall.
If you think that a surname alone can catapult someone to
the Senate or to Malacanang, obviously Bam Aquino , JV Villar, Jack Enrile and
Grace Poe think otherwise. It has to be rubbed in day in and out through
perpetual ads in major TV networks.
If you think Cynthia Villar’s ‘hanepbuhay’ commercial is
pre-mature campaigning where have you been when Chiz Escudero started
co-hosting Kris TV? Better yet, when the LP Senatoriables started giving relief
goods together with the Tuwid Na Daan King, NoyNoy, during a storm last year.
If you think we should fine the American government millions
in US dollars for causing damage in our Tubattaha reef, don’t you think we
should also fine Filipinos responsible for killing our very own Pasig River?
If you think that the recent shootout incident inside SM
Megamall is a serious lapse in security, what do you call the inclusion of
Anabelle Rama in this year’s election?
