Short Circuit

Typhoon Henry is wreaking havoc in Batanes and Northern Luzon and one netizen was asking where in the world SAGIP representative Rodante Marcoleta was - the chief architect of ABS CBN franchise shutdown costing a loss of thousand of jobs.

Social amelioration and genuine intervention of poverty rep? I doubt it if he understands the tie-up between losing a job and poverty ... or poverty in relation to typhoon Henry's devastation.  He is up there in his ivory tower, enjoying the afterglow of his latest success in railroading ABS CBN and TV 5 merger.

Short Circuit

Representative Edcel Lagman of Albay could not hide his frustration for the Pinoy TV viewers when the deal between ABS CBN and TV5 was hijacked.

"Another victim of the termination is the viewing public for being deprived of the emergence of fair and healthy competition in the television and broadcast industry which could have been ushered in by the agreement."

The Chicken That Lays A Golden EGG Part 2

Just an observation:  the trolls have one-track minds and what is incredulous is that they talk and think alike as if they have blank minds and somebody programmed them to respond uniformly to every issue. A design or a master plan was cooked up as a guide so members were tasked with how to attack the pressing issue being debated. 

When the topic is about the economy and the soaring prices of eggs, salt, sugar and other prime commodities see the pattern of how they respond to the issue. In this group, the response was to strike the target in the jugular and make him appear stupid for buying eggs in the mall instead of the market.

All the members did was alter the thought here and there and voila the indefatigable member has contributed to the cause - defending the status quo.

Are The Stars Out Today

Not everybody has a chance to brush elbows with the stars in the entertainment, modeling, and pageant industries so when the invitation starts knocking at my door ... who am I to refuse. Others may frown at it ... but it is irresistible. Well-meaning friends have given us the opportunity on a silver platter (it is like allowing us to get something easily ... without having to work on it) so when I saw the window ... in basketball lingo - an opening ... all I did was to dribble the ball ... do the lay-up and shoot it for the much-needed money shot.

Diether Ocampo or Diet manages to strike a pose ... or was he flexing his muscles for a photo-op? Diether really is such a character. You catch him to have a photo or two  ... and he leans against the wall ... and enjoys the attention as he gives everybody the model look and attitude.
