Political Shorts 3

Political Shorts

What was the last time we were talking in our Political Shorts column? Oh, we were talking about the vice presidential meltdown ... where she gave that monologue that shamed any self-confessed admission ever recorded in history... it was as though it was of nuclear proportion. It has gone beyond VIRAL.

Now we know the VP is a chip off the old block ... especially her temperament which is a replica and split image of PRRD.

**************

Political pundits had the entertainment of their lives fine-tuning their crystal ball's functionality and reducing any wireless interference ... some even replaced their router's antennae to come up with the best analysis of the vice president's meltdown.

It all depends on whose side they are on, While pro-BBM expects an apocalyptic, and portentous backlash ... pro-Inday supporters are optimistic that she will pass the challenge with flying colors.

However neutral onlookers have their eyes open covering all angles ... wanting to know whose spin doctor did an awesome job (a spin doctor's job by the way is somebody who reframe or modify the perception of an issue or event to reduce any negative impact it might have on public opinion.)

****************

Pro-admin supporters think this is the kiss of death to the VP's dream of making it big in the 2028 election. It seems that some ... are charred and scorched by the VP's brand of temperament in full display in 3-D and in Panavision on national TV.

We mention about two police officers being scolded two days ago ..."Huwag kayong bakla!" sabi ni Vice. Ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng linyang yon ni VP? Na sila ay sunod-sunoran lang .... did she think they are weak ... walang panindigan ... ? Mga Ganoong stereotypes?

This drew condemnation from the LGBTQ+ community which called it a derogatory remark. From the police officer's end (the police is a doctor himself) ... they also filed charges for direct assault ... disobedience to authority and grave coercion ... and this is punishable under the Revised Penal Code.

***************

Adding more salt to the wound ... the National Security Council (NSC) concerning the VP's meltdown last Sunday had considered all threats thrown at Marcos "serious and a matter of national security."

Vice President was quick to reply and said that her murder threat against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was “maliciously taken out of logical context.”

Madam ... di ba ginamit na itong pakulo ng tatay mo? Di ba sinabi mo this is not a joke ... tapos sasabihin ng mga alipores mo ngayon "parang hindi nyo kilala si madam. Nagbibiro lang siya and she has the penchant for hyperbole (using exagerration to make an impact) like her father.
*****************

May bago pang ugali si Madam ngayon. Kapag may hingin ka sa kanya ... okey kaagad. Kung meron kang itatanong sa kanya ... walang problema.

Pero kuwidaw ... meron palang kapalit. Meron din siya palang nakahandang itatanong sa iyo. May mahirap pa.

******************

Parang si PRRD din. Hihingi ka ng signature niya para ma-access ang bank account niya. Okey lang basta kapalit ng pirma niya ang sampalin muna niya si Senator Trillanes.

Okay lang naman kay Trillanes. Magpasampal siya ... pero signature muna.

Nagbago tuloy ang isip ni Sir.

*******************

Now hear this. The National Bureau Of Investigation has meddled in this political drama ... little did we know it had been doing its homework fast and has already scheduled its hearing today to investigate the VP about the alleged grave threats and possible violations of the Anti-Terrorism Act following her infamous remarks last Sunday.

Madam VP's quick retort was that she could not attend because today she was scheduled to attend the hearing from the Committee on Good Governance and Public Accountability ... the very same hearing she refused to take the oath with ... or attend.

Lucky for Madame ... the Committee was so generous and decided to postpone the hearing ... so she could attend to her matters in NBI with all her heart ... and all her attention.

*******************

An innocent bystander was heard commenting: "Ano ba itong mga nangyayari ... it looked like it is written in the stars na ito ang kahihinatnan ng lahat sa mga ginagawa ng VP?"

The picture and the caption anove answered her question. "Her situation right now ... she knows it is coming ... it is her DOING."

She did it to herself.
