Turns out eminent journalist Ces Drilon was also laughing along with would-be boy-watcher Carmen "Mai" Mislang. I picked up the following screen grab from a post by a certain "John Casey" on PinoyExchange.com...

Kind of sheds a bit of light on why Big Media has been silent about this whole circus thus far, doesn't it?
you are right on the big media issue. as for ces, may unconventional streak talaga s'ya kaya nga s'ya na-suspend ni ma. ressa 'di ba for not following protocol when she was kidnapped with her team sa Mindanao... hay. 5 months na nakalipas. one more month to go before the year-ender. can't wait to gather all the noynoy administration booboos and make the countdown.
Why not bury former President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Filipino Heroes' Cemetery)? That is the question that came to light recently in the wake of the burial there of former Secretary and retired General Angelo Reyes, who was in the middle of being implicated in a big-time corruption scandal at the time of his death on the 8th of February this year. Marcos's son, Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr today "reiterated his call for the burial of his father, the late former President Ferdinand Marcos, in the Libingan ng mga Bayani". Television personality Karen Davila was quoted by ANC 24/7 as having quoted Bongbong saying that "if Angelo Reyes was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, my late father should also be buried there".
I keep reading about people encouraging one another to "pray" for Japan in this time of great tragedy after a massive earthquake and accompanying tsunami devastated its coastline and killed hundreds of her people. I'm not quite sure Japan needs our prayers. Japan is regarded as the country in the highest state of constant preparedness for earthquakes. As such, the disastrous earthquake that struck Japan is a tragedy, but one that is not tragic in the sense of it being a preventable loss of life.
Don't look now, but Akbayan party list representative Walden Bello has the distinction of being the first bozo to make that all-too-familiar but tired old call for "people power" a.k.a. Ocho-Ocho "Revolution" of the post-Arroyo era. According to Bello, the ten justices who ruled Aquino's pet "Truth Commission" project unconstitutional need to be "taught a lesson"...
Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in a recent statement made crack that the Philippines " should have been a Singapore " by now if the Edsa "People Power" "revolution" of 1986 had "not prospered". This is of course debatable and an easy assertion to make since it is by all intents and purposes unknowable and unprovable anyway.
ano ba to bakit na-mention pa ang "supot" na word? kung gusto nya ng pogi e di sana nag club nlng sya no. kakabwiset.
