Political Shorts

The debate that fan the embers of controversy and rocked the House and the Senate zeroed in on the investigation of confidential funds of the OVP and Department of Education. This did not stop the Vice President from issuing some sweeping statement that will forever be etched and become another classic political meme that will reverberate for a long time in the esteemed walls of YouTube and other social media platforms.

"Ang kumokontra sa intelligence and confidential funds ay kumukontra sa kapayapaan ... and kumukontra sa kapayapaan ... ay kalaban ng bayan."

The soundbyte created a lot of sneers and jeers and one netizen was quick to respond: "ANG PAGLUSTAY AT PAGNAKAW SA CONFIDENTIAL FUND ... AY KALABAN SA KAPAYAPAAN AT KALABAN NG BAYAN. "

Another netizen responded: "Kung sino ang nagging defensive at ayaw ng accountability at walang mapakita o maipaliwanag na maayos kung saan ginastos ang pera ay siya ang may malalim na dahilan para lustayin na lang ng ganon ganon lang ang kaban ng bayan. Sila ang tunay na kalaban ng bayan."

I was expecting that exchange ... at sa aking pagmamasid at pagiging miron ... yong mga sagotan ng mga protagonists ay ka-abang-abang. The more sharp and pungent the responses are ... the better... that separates the men from the boys ... and women from little girls.
