WOWOWEEEIRD!

Fourth eye
For aug 7

WOWOWEEEIRD!

TV host Willie Revillame drew flak over his refusal to simultaneously
air his program with that of the late president Cory Aquino’s funeral
procession. His tantrums were shown live on air to the distaste of
many.
Not so WILY Revillame.
oOo
The ever so arrogant host, who raked his fortune from other’s
misfortunes, may have forgotten that the Lopezes owe ABS-CBN to Tita
Cory. Had it not for the late president, his show would have carried a
different name.
WOWOWEEEIRD!
oOo
Almost instantly, the incident was posted on Youtube. There, hundreds
gave damning opinions, despising Revilla as “makapal ang mukha.”
Ok lang daw kasi MAKAPAL NAMAN ANG BULSA!
oOo
Example: “Willie Revillame is by far the most annoying, convincingly
insincere, social inbred whose skills on ‘entetaining’ people either
fall short or just plain short and downright grandstanding. His views
expressed were hands down a reflection of his real self: --- cold,
shiny,hard plastic.”
Sounds like Joey De Leon was speaking.
oOo
On live broadcast, Willie lashed at the ABS-CBN management for showing
the funeral cortege. He even asked the management to “choose” between
his show and the Cory footages.
He earns far more than his network bosses that’s why.
oOo
Many of those who were turned off by his ill attitude now call for a
boycott. Some are even asking the MTRCB to suspend the host from the
show.
Once suspended, Willie should try out as celebrity guest on Eat
Bulaga’s Pinoy Henyo.
oOo
National Press Club President Benny Antiporda was among those
infuriated by Willie’s remarks. The NPC president said ABS-CBN should
teach Willie some lessons on humility and respect.
I’d say teach him history. His network’s history.
oOo
I still wonder why many find Wowoweee appealing. Worldwide, it shows
some Pinoys’ fondness for fastbucks and dole-outs. I frown everytime I
see poor contestants narrating their sorrows in Willie’s show.
Pathetic.
That’s show BUSINESS.

"L" is for Lalaban Tayo

“L” for Lalaban tayo

With her passing, congress is expected to declare Cory Aquino a
national hero. A noble gift from the institution the former president
herself helped created.
If congressmen were only Holy, they would have declared Cory a Saint.
oOo
Direct from the US, President Arroyo went to Manila Cathedral to pay
her last respects to the woman who once asked her to resign.
Did anyone hear her say, “I am sorry.”?
oOo
Marcos kids Bongbong and Imee also attended the wake unannounced. They
were gratefully welcomed by the Aquino family.
Were they so sorry too?
oOo
Former First Lady Imelda Marcos, who held a mass for the then still
ill Cory, declared that the country will experience many miracles once
the Aquino and Marcos families are united.
It will indeed take a miracle for Arroyo to resign.
oOo
During the funeral procession from Manila to Paranaque where the
former president was finally laid to rest, presidential aspirant Mar
Roxas was inside his SUV, waving to crowds flashing the “L” sign.
“L” for “Lalaban tayo.”
oOo
In her speech, Kris Aquino hinted of plans to join politics with her
brother Noynoy. “Ipagpapatuloy natin, Noy,” she declared.
She or Noynoy could be Roxas’ runningmate.
oOo
A reunion of sorts, Cory’s funeral was reminiscent of Ninoy’s own
funeral march and the People Power Revolution combined. Politicians,
artists and church people converged once again.
Hope Cory’s spirit stays until after May 2010.
oOo
Last February, Tita Cory attended the wake for singer-actor and master
rapper Francis Magalona who died of cancer.
During Cory’s wake and interment, rains were spurred by a storm named Kiko.

No cross we can't Cory

Fourth eye
For aug. 3

There is no cross we can’t Cory


With her death, we mourn. And as loved ones carried her casket, the
heavens wept.
Even Jolina was in deep sorrow.
oOo
Indeed, she was just a housewife with no knowledge on the presidency.
But she was the only housewife who survived seven coup attempts and a
damning power crisis.
oOo
Amidst all the troubles she encountered, dealing with cancer was one
of the easiest, she declared.
It only involved herself.
oOo
By her example, people believed in life even after death.
And life after this government.
oOo
By her faith, we were moved. Her death was her resurrection.
A beacon forever shining brightly for those on the dark side.
oOo
She gave us hope and proved that despite the odds, it was still
honorable to be born a Filipino and die a Filipino.
In a country being run like hell by a Filipino.
oOo
She was an icon of morality and good governance.
She had no First Gentleman in the first place.
oOo
She was an icon of democracy who paved the way for the phenomenon
called People Power. She never lied, cheated or stole.
I grief with the fear that without her, the liars, cheaters and
thieves will rejoice.
oOo
She had great power but was never intoxicated by it. She gave the
country a new Charter to live by.
The same Charter some people are now dying to replace to suit their caprices.
oOo
A country without her is like a world without air which the people can
breathe freely.
But her humility and sacrifices taught us that no matter how heavy,
there is no cross we can’t CORY!

DOG EAT DOG

The Senate objected to a House-approved bill allowing Greyhound races
in Mandaue City. Senators said they will block any effort to have the
measure approved.
Dog eat dog.
oOo
Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. was accused of holding “secret” public
hearings on the bill, inviting only those who would be benefited by
it. The senator said he sees nothing wrong with the measure which he
will sponsor in plenary this week.
Expect people to raise a howl.
oOo
Sen. Jamby Madrigal, one of the measure’s oppositors, even had the
luxury of showing off her pet greyhound to stress her position.
She’s not an attack dog, afterall. Right, Sen. Villar?
oOo
Sen. Loren Legarda and party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros caught people’s
attention when they attended last Monday’s Sona donned in backless
gowns.
These feisty ladies have BACKBONES indeed.
oOo
Sen. Mar Roxas, ever the KSP (kulang sa pansin) he is, directed
traffic along Commonwealth Avenue during SONA. It was another photo
opportunity for the presidential wannabe.
And I thought he was among the eight men mauled by angry protesters on
suspicion of being government “spies.”
oOo
For “saying bad words” in public, Roxas did not escape the president’s
“aggression” during SONA.
What could be worse than Roxas’ “LALABAN TAYO!”
OOo
The Philippine National Police intensified its campaign against lose
firearms. Already, hundreds of illegal guns were turned over by the
Central Luzon police office. Officials claimed the guns were owned by
private armed groups.
Policemen by day, private army by night.
OOo
Folk legend Freddie Aguilar sneered at world-renowned artists Arnel
Pineda and Charice Pempengco for acting like “monkeys” who mimic
foreign artists.
Some Pinoys are really a rare breed. Their existence disproves Charles
Darwin’s theory.
Instead of apes, they evolved from CRABS.
oOo
Reports have it that actresses Katrina Halili and Maricar Reyes might
co-star in a movie.
The title: HAYDenSICK.

ANOS

“ANOS”

Pres. Arroyo delivered her longest SONA and the most applauded in nine years.
It’s probably the Inno Sotto gown she wore.
oOo
Quite interestingly, she thanked “congress” a number of times as if
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile was not behind her.
It’s a grim indication that congress, at least for GMA, is ONE.
oOo
Reading between the lines, PGMA bluntly referred to the Senate as her
“critics.” She told “congress” there will be “more work.”
I think one of those “works” is to try to get rid of the Senate.
oOo
The ninth SONA was also PGMA’s last. When she becomes prime minister
next year, SONA will be renamed Address the Nation on its State. Her
first.
ANOS
oOo
With Con-Ass just around the corner, ANOS is not far-fetched.
That explains the STINK!
oOo
Most in attendance are lawmakers who are supportive of Con-Ass.
Con-ass lickers!
oOo
Outside congress, leftist protesters mauled eight men suspected of
acting as military lookouts.
The left has better SPIES.
oOo
As expected, security forces outnumbered rallyists at least three to one.
The police and military appeared more threatening. Another grim
indication of what might come.
oOo
The Iglesia Ni Cristo celebrated its 95th year also on Monday. It
coincided with PGMA’s SONA.
Guess most rallyists are INC members. That explains their absence.

Bail of Rights

BAIL OF RIGHTS

Bureau of Jail Management and Penology chief Dir. Rosendo Dial said
some 80,000 inmates from various jail facilities units nationwide can
vote in next year’s polls. The Commission on Elections already
approved of the scheme’s implementing rules and guidelines.
In the future, inmates can run for public office and many politicians
will go to jail.
oOo
Commission on Human Rights chairperson Leila De Lima claimed jailbirds
not yet convicted of their crimes still have the privilege to vote.
It’s their Constitutional right.
BAIL OF RIGHTS!
oOo
Supt. Glen Dumlao is back in the country to spill the beans on the
Dacer-Corbito double murder case. Alleged as Sen. Panfilo Lacson’s
henchman, Dumlao will unlock the mystery behind the gruesome killings.
Hope he provides the right key and combination.
oOo
Residents of Pandacan are up in arms against the city ordinance
extending the stay of the oil depots in the district.
A well-oiled campaign?
oOo
Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim blamed the previous administration of Lito
Atienza for the mess. He claimed the ordinance was his predecessor’s
idea and now Atienza is now using the issue against the incumbent
mayor.
Really now, who got the GREASE?
oOo
In Nueva Ecija, the gubernatorial and vice gubernatorial posts will be
a fight between two Umalis and two Josons. It’s all a family affair.
Sino ang dapat umalis?
oOo
PCSO Director Popoy Taruc, who ran but lost his vice gubernatorial bid
in 2007, is posed to stage a comeback. This time to save the province
from an expected clan war.
I’M POPOY THE SAVIORMAN!
Boboto kita, pare.
oOo
Singer Selina Sevilla complained of a failed butt job. She claimed the
Silicon oil injected on her was eating her flesh.
Her doctor probably got the oil from Pandacan. Now we know why many
are against it.

PD Ay!

Fourth eye
For Monday SONA


PD Ay!

The Inquirer reported that the daughter of an anti-drug agent was
drugged and raped.
Outraged, Malacanang and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
declared a Mexican-style war against drug syndicates
Raise your Tequila, hombre!
oOo
The Cordillera police declared the case closed after finding that the
incident was a hoax.
PDI stood by its story and authorities mellowed down.
Philippine Drug Inquirer. PD Ay!
oOo
Anti-drug agent’s daughter drugged and raped. The story becomes
sensational. Government declares all out war on drugs.
A poor rugby-sniffing girl from a local squatter colony got raped. No one cared.
Government declares all out war on SQUATTING!
oOo
Today is the day when PGMA delivers her state of the nation address
(SONA). Her critics will frown as they try to compare today’s from the
previous years’ SONAs.
Apart from what the president wore, what else is new?
oOo
PGMA’s supporters will cut short office hours and lock their sights on
their TV set.
Also to compare today with last year’s SONA and see if her BREAST JOB
made any difference.
oOo
Sen. Manny Villar ruled the surveys!
Sen. Mar Roxas ruled the airwaves.
oOo
Administration presidential wannabes fared poorly in the same surveys
and Erap made the biggest jump to tail Villar.
Wait until Roxas comes out with AGB Nielsen’s survey. Prime time spots
pa ads niya. Talo silang lahat.
oOo
With hundreds of millions already spent on various political ads, the
only thing reaping the fruits of democracy this early are the two
giant TV stations.
oOo
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile threatened to end sessions if the
issue of Con-Ass is discussed.
Ayaw na niyang mainip. May alam siyang mas mabilis na paraan.
oOo
Around 15,000 soldiers and policemen will be deployed to secure SONA.
Analysts estimate the number of protesters could be lesser.
Rallyists would rather stay at home and watch TV to get a clearer view
of GMA’s intriguing breast job.
