Benjamin Abalos has mastered the art of portraying the image of a squeaky clean fatherly figure. He would smile, speak softly and patiently explain whatever transgression his young daughter has again carried out. At least that’s how he appears on TV. Nothing in his demeanor betrays the crook lurking within. That entire charade will soon cease if the events unfolding lately which apparently point to him as the main man behind the ZTE controversy should prove accurate.
Let’s put some words into some mouths:
Ben: Ituloy na natin ang ZTE deal na ‘yan. 80-20 at ako na ang bahala kay Leandro and the other boys.
Glo: Si Benjie talaga… 70-30 naman ah. At pag ipapamina natin ang Cordillera, kahit 50-50 na.
Ben: 80-20! Ayaw mo? Sige, magpupulong kami nina Garci at ‘yung mga heneral para planuhin na namin kung papa’no kang ilalaglag na bansot ka. Nakuu…
Glo: Hmph, sige na nga. 80-20 kung 80-20!
Yesterday, a somber-looking GMA appeared on TV to declare: “We should honor all contracts entered into by the government. Otherwise, foreign investors will get the wrong impression that… yackity yack…”
Stupid. Why don’t you just resign? Foreign investors will enter the country because of the cost-efficiency of setting up their base of operations here, and the added inducement of the presence of a skilled or easily trainable and cheap labor force. Investors relocate to other countries which have better peace and order and whose leaders have not been rendered inutile by their having cheated their way to their positions; whose leaders can exercise authority, moral or legal, over their subordinates whose predatory ways can only be shrugged off by a leader greatly hindered by a noose hanging around her neck that can be tightened anytime by the rogue people who are complicit with her crime.
And we still have 2 years and 9 months to put up with this administration...

It's high time our country needs a Marcos type-brains (Jykell) to rule
the motherland. Ping or Loren are not head-of-state material, believe
these two are itchy to acquire such power. Cheers and goodhealth!
hi true blue,
i agree with you on the brain part only.:-) just imagine the damage which the country will further suffer from if the next prexy should have that deposed leader's rapacity. (and the present one's, too.)
yup, no to ping and loren. ping is a sinister character, in spite of his attempts to project a clean image. the accusations against him have never been proven but tulfo's attacks on him have a ring of truth in them that make you look twice at the man. and what's puzzling with loren is how she would associate herself with people of dubious character- danding, for instance. i'd prefer both of them to just stay in the senate.
i don't know though. cheers and good health, too, anyway.
Ahahahahaha... Very funny! Malay natin, that kind of dialogue might have happened in real life.
Hay naku, Gloria. For the sake of the Filipino people's sanity, step down please!
hi layad,
hehe. it's the least we can do- poke fun at those people in power who seem to have nothing in mind but to abuse it. (if only we wouldn't be the ones who will bear the brunt of their abuses...)
cheers!
will there be another marcos-like ruler then? will it be an ease?:) when will good governance happen?
puro tanong...at least in some scale and level, i see some people in position who try to stand on their principle without being shaken.
Oo nga. yung si Abalos, akala mo harmless sa tingin. iyon pala maraming itinatago. buti na lang at nagresign. but he should be prosecuted for his many crimes against the Filipino people.
hi brother abella,
it's been a while.:-)
who needs a marcos when we already have a gma? hehe.
yup. there are some who stay on the right course but they are the very, very rare exceptions. we should be thankful for them.
hi bill,
oo nga eh. malumanay ang pananalita niya na parang ang bait bait.
yeah. he should be prosecuted and every details of his dirty deals should be squeezed out of him, most especially the garci case. (parang imposible yata.) they should just hang him.
cheers to everybody!
