Potshots
from Manila
By Sonny Pucio
Mirasol
There’s a flap in Naga about a case in the prosecutor’s office
headed by Mr. Tayo. It’s not a case of tayo-tayo.
Cong. Villafuerte of GMA’s Kampi Party branded Boy Moreno, the
jueteng probe witness, as a ploy deployed by the opposition. Kampi
talaga… Wasn’t that a day or two after his wife was named to the
MB?
As a Bicolano, I’m proud that Nellie nailed that appointed to the
Monetary Board. As a columnist of the Bulletin, she’s also a
member of the commentary board.
Gov. Lee of Sorsogon was implicated in jueteng by a female
provincial board member, not a bored member. To say that a female
was bored can get you gored.
Rep. Lagman of Albay denied that his daughter received any payola
from Boy Moreno. Mr. Lagman, my co-alumnus, is not a bulag man.
Max Soliven of Philippine Star wrote that the biggest jueteng lord
during Cory’s time was “Big C”. Whoever that was, was a big cancer
to society which the Cancer Society will disown. Was he peeping
Cojuangco?
Cory inflicted VAT on us, Glory afflicted us with eVAT, which is
almost like ebak, the result of toilet evac, not med-evac.
Med-evac is what our soldiers need in the field of battle, where
even officers like Lt. Col. Dennis Villanueva bleed to death for
lack of it. Generals, though, have no lack of any in the field of
the bottle; which, thankfully, the current president is not
involved in. The question, however, is whether she is involved in
other things and rattled by being embattled.
La Presidentita, the santita, ordered the on-going lifestyle
checks of government officials. Who checks on the lifestyles of
her family and the checks of J. Pidal?
Sandra Cam pinpointed Big Mike as the real Pidal, not Iggy, who
apparently was only playing second Pidal.
Big Mike was reported to have undergone a facelift prior to facing
Senate jueteng probers. There’s no jueteng in the Senate – only
waiting for pork and pretending to work… and Big Mike will not be
brought there by forklift, nor is his facelift to confuse the
witnesses.
If Mikey declared assets of P68 million (was it (P98 M?) last
year, acting in B-movies must be very profitable. B-movies are not
balato movies.
The lifps said, “Let the chips fall…” but the hips must have
signaled Gonzales and Wycoco to man the ramparts. Way coco in
Cebuano can mean “no coconut”.
The NBI is discrediting jueteng witnesses and the justice
secretary threatened to prosecute them. The frantic damage
control, which is out of control, only reinforcers public
perception that where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
With his threats of prosecuting whistleblowers, instead of
verifying their charges, shouldn’t we exclaim each time we see Mr.
Gonzales on TV, “Ay, si Raul, o!” and not mean “sira” as we call
fish or viand in Bicol?
The dictionary defined “arroyo” as a dry river bed, a dry wash or
a ravine. Do you still wonder why life today is so arid, the
economy drying up, Palace pronouncements won’t wash, and why we
want to push some people off a high cliff?
Little Ms. Moppet, someone’s puppet, again trumpeted that she
feels the pain we feel during these hard times (which her tenure
created), unmindful of her credibility rating being minus 30% and
plunging. Glory bee, the bumble bee, a-fumble again. Just like
Imeldific, trying to be humble when the masses rumble. Whence the
tumble?
The late Carlos P. Romulo, as ambassador to the US and ribbed
about his height compared to Americans, said he felt like a dime
among nickels, the smaller dime (10 cents) being twice the value
of the bigger nickel. Shorter than Romulo, does Glory bee only
have the scent of a grimy cent?
Cong. Ronaldo Puno wants the PCSO to handle jueteng. If you’re
thinking of the TV talk show, Ron Puno is the wrong Puno; that’s
his brother Dong Puno on TV. So, don’t go barking up the wrong
Puno.
LP president Drilon, also of the Upper Home but not the upper
hand, led his party in assuring GMA of its support in a lunch at
Malacañang. Must have been quite a party. And what did they
launch? Any parties to jueteng?… Drilon will not only drill on
under the commander-in-chief, he will also drone on.
Bunye pre-empted the opposition on the supposed tape of GMA
plotting election fraud. Electorate rape on tape?
Congress rejected “no work no pay” for absentee members and
adopted a “shame campaign” instead. No one wanted to interrupt his
play or work for the pork, so they’ll try to shame the shameless.
Shum campaign.
With continued pollution, Mike Defensor may not be the best
defender of the environment against ravages wreaked by savages.
The Philippine Star published a front page photo last June 7
captioned, “Three Parrots” – Defensor and two parrots illegally
imported from Brazil. (Parot is a bad word in Albay). Defensor was
not part of the illegal importation but environmentalists may seek
his deportation for deforestation of the nation… Defensor is
almost persona non grata in booming Boracay but not in our
backwater Bacacay.
AFP Chief Abu is living it up till his reign turns to ash. After
renovating his office and also his quarters in Camp Aguinaldo for
P19 million, he ordered millions more spent on tiled for the camps
sidewalks. Now, Abu is embroiled in the P10 million military
resort on Boracay. Ash to ass?… With his misplaced priorities,
General Efren is no friend to soldiers in general… A retired major
general was quoted as saying AFP chiefs become project-mad General
feeding frenzy.
Ace Durano is going great guns at Tourism. He’s from Cebu’s Danao
City, the paltik or home-made gun capital of the world.
Our country is so rich in marine resources that even the poor are
never without seafood, only it’s balao or alamang most of the
time.
If Pampanga is the Vatican of jueteng, why do they say that the
pope and cardinals are in Malacañang?
DepEd Sec. Abad is not a baddie, just another baldy.
Ateneo blue eagles age into bald eagles; La Sallites start as
hawks and become hawkers of merchandise.
Three senators are in the initial stages of AIDS – Actors In
Disguise as Solons.
Bicol’s Joker Arroyo is the wild card in the government deck. When
Dick Gordon walked into the Senate in a Coast Guard admiral’s
uniform, Joker gave it to Dick in the neck.
Her credibility diving, GMA soared into the skies to inspect
government projects, as if that were the main job of presidents.
Her precedents are creating more dissidents.
A guy was named after Alexander the Great. After marriage to a
domineering wife, he became mere Alex-under-the great.
While in the Senate, Jawo didn’t just play with the balls, but got
a lote of wake-up calls.
The antics of the minority make them look minors, the majority,
major problems or major disasters; and in the AFP, we have general
alarm and general disorder.
Many jerks run for office for the perks and this nation of
misguided clerks elects them into office and we get it in the
back, orifice, that is.
With the double whammy of jueteng payola and the electorate rape
tape, GMA is now Gloria in Manic Anxiety.
Toting Bunye, the Palace taga-bunyi, jumped the gun on the
opposition with the thought of becoming hero. With not enough “thoughting”,
Toting came out the tape when the tape boomeranged with such a
loud boom, putting Gloria in a tighter fix because of alleged
election-fixing. Ay, ay, ay, pie in the eye!
Mikey has been tagged the jueteng Lion King. Who are the Lion Ace,
Lion Queen and Lion Jack? Are Richard Garcia and Sandra Cam the
Lion Jokers?
Thanks to Ting Villadares of Buhi, Cam. Sur, the president of my
one-man Buhi fan club for this nice txt msg.
