A Slip Of The Tongue?

An occasional slip of the tongue ... or a slip of the pen is normal and is quickly forgiven by the person listening or reading... that is ... if they even notice it. Even when they do, most people most of the time will recognize a slip of the tongue or pen for what it is and realize that what you meant to say or write ... is not what you did say or write. 

What the Senior Deputy Majority Leader Sandro Marcos said in the budget briefing of the office of the Vice President was a classic example that words clothed in elaborate, flamboyant, bombastic, and pompous fashion to communicate the minuscule of ideas you want to convey are not really a gauge that somebody is grandiloquent and intelligent. The intent of using flowery words or his tendency to use ornate language to say the simplest of things is an attempt to make themselves sound like they know more.

For the reason of "parliamentary courtesy, Sandro Marcos moves to "terminate the budget of the office of the Vice President." 

Huwaaaaat? Does that mean Sandro Marcos disapproves the budget of OVP... or does he mean to say he moves to terminate the deliberation of the budget to protect Sara Duterte from being deluged with questions she was not prepared to answer.

And good riddance Sara did not understand what he just said ... otherwise it is the end of unity as we know it.

You see a little learning is a dangerous thing.  Here you are at your most shining moment ... and you derailed it because you want to impress the audience ... that somebody that young ... he can go toe to toe with senior members of the house.

I can almost see political memes sprouting like mushrooms in social media to immortalize this booboo.
