Bulacandia

If you ask someone, anyone, who does not hail from this province, where my (and coincidentally M.H. and Gregorio del Pilar's), hometown is located and they will probably draw a blank in their heads. It's actually shameful. Bulacan, Bulacan is a Municipality in Bulacan province with a population of over 60,000, etc., etc....(just click this wiki link).

The Dirty Rat Race


Some assh*le, whose name I can't (refuse) to remember said on air that it is Noy-noy's (Aquino, son of the late great senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino--he's the four-eyed dude with his fist on his chin in the P500.00 bill for you, dumb kids--and the late former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino) "destiny" to become president of this nation of ours. Apart from Johnnny Knoxville's classic ideas, that's about the stupidest sh*t I've heard in a long while. That goes "up there" (in the hall of fame of stupid ideas) together with Johnny Ponce Enrile's "Scrap the Energy Royalty Tax" crap, the proposed new tax on text messaging, and the latest issuance by the Ombudsman to prohibit (in the guise of regulation) the access of anyone to the SALN (Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth) of government officials. In the words of Dave Mustaine (MegadetH founder and frontman extraordinaire), Destiny, oh, that wicked schemer!

Noy-noy, as he's already a senator (Yey mom!), IMHO had already reached the pinnacle, no, the apex, of his political adventure. I mean, Noy-noy? What the F*cking hell? If you make a list of senate underachievers, he's most likely to top the list just behind senator Lito-lito and whatshisface "Panday" wannabe. (FPJ's death must be partly caused by the remake of the classic by a pa-cute over-age dumbass like this son of Nardong Putik). To make things simple, Ninoy is Ninoy, Cory is Cory, and Noy-noy is f*cking Noy-noy. He's just that--f*cking Noy-noy. He's Kristeta's still-to-come-out-but-perhaps-never-will gay only brother. I always imagine him doing funny things like picking his nose or catching a quick nap during senate session hearings and whatnot.

I heard that his "supporters," before Noy-noy "decided" to "accept" the "ordeal" of running for president even made signature drives but the results were, well, a little bit short of catastrophic. Apart from these gooks who started these drives, about two (2) other people signed I think, but they get to keep the pens. The pens perhaps are Parkers. So, even without the millions of signatures of Filipinos "clamoring" for another child of a president to become president because it is his goddamned "destiny,"--just like it was the devil-whore GMA's--f*cking Noy-noy went ahead and "accepted" the "offer" for him to run for president of this so-called great democracy.

But what really bugs me is Mar "Anak, itabi mo, ako na" Roxas' decision to back out from the presidential race. I never really liked the b*tch Korina Sanchez, but I really do feel for her. I also sympathize with everyone who placed their entire trust--though misguided, if I may say so myself--to Mr. Palengke. I mean, if I really believed that this guy, f*cking Mar Roxas is worthy and should be the next president of this republic, and then when the sh*t hits the fan he suddenly backs the f*ck out without even consulting anyone who is anyone in his core camp, I'd be fuming mad with disappointment in epic proportions. If I were Korina, I'd bitch-slap him twice on both cheeks. Damn cowardice ruined first lady dreams. I wish the wedding pulls through as it should. At least the people will find that entertaining and would leave some sort of psychological saving-grace for Roxas.

Then there's Jejomar "Barrack-O" Binay. I heard he's also backing out from the race. Good for him. He was sure to loose anyway. Why? Because the rest of the country is not Makati. Sa Makati, todo-todo ang benepisyo. Sa Pilipinas, todo-todo ang perwisyo. Somehow, however, I am a tad disappointed when I heard the news. Even if he was destined to loose, I could've voted for him. He's a De Molay and for me, that's enough reason.

Manny Villar seems/appears to be doing good. His war chest is huge and he's reacting to recent events like a good tactician should. All this hype with f*cking Noy-noy will surely die down. The elections are still a few months away and a lot of things could still happen. While I don't exactly like his philosophy, I am a sort of a fan of his marketing skill. This guy could probably sell refrigerators to damn Eskimoes. His campaign strategy is cool and well thought of ab initio. The "interview" with Boy Abunda was a stroke of genius. I particularly liked one Q&A which went like this:

Boy Abunda: Senator, maraming nagsasabi na napakalaki na ng inyong nagasta sa kampanya, at alam naman ng lahat na kung hindi mangungurakot ang isang opisyal ng gobyerno, hindi nya mababawi ang kanyang nagastos noong siya ay nangangampanya pa lamang. Ano po ang masasabi ninyo dito?

Manny Villar: Alam mo Boy, bata pa lang ako, namulat na ako sa negosyo, at dahil sa sipag at tiyaga, na pinaniniwalaan kong mayroon lahat tayong mga Pilipino, at dahil ako ay sinwerte, medyo naka-angat ako sa buhay. Tungkol naman sa mga nagastos ko, at patuloy pa ring ginagastos dulot ng aking paghahangad makapag-lingkod ng lubos, hindi ko na iniisip na bigyan yan ng halaga.

Eto naman ang tanonng ko sa iyo Boy, papaanno mo ibnigyan ng halaga o presyo ang isang panngarap? Pangarap ko ang maglingkod sa ating bayan bilang pangulo at gagawin ko ang lahat para matupad ang pangarap na ito. Hindi na bale ang lahat ng gastos alang-alang sa pangarap kong maglingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino.

I just hope that if he wins it all, he won't spend all his time being president building ghetto quality subdivisions, flame warring with a d*ckwad like Lacson, and "rescuing" migrant workers who got their lives f*cked-up abroad.

And oh, never-you-mind the pundits ike Estrada (who seems to be loosing his mind these days with that running TV ad), Teodoro, Legarda, BF (the Napoleon-complex ridden jerk who deserves his own hater blog), Villanueva, Panlilio, etc., et-f*cking-cetera. They were all losers to begin with and they will always will be.

Finally, I'm getting to like Chiz Escudero. He has the becoming of a good guy. He won't win if he runs for president, but I starting to like him. Maybe Sherryl, my skinny little classmate from AUSL who had the biggest crush on this skinny little guy was right. Chiz could be "The Man" of the future.
