Political Ironies

 If you are a senator and have gone far and beyond helping a friend by making lies ... inventing fake news ... or spreading intrigues ... did it occur to him/her that voters are watching them eagle-eyed like gold fish in the aquarium?

Was being truthful and voracious the foundation of their pronouncements ... and is credibility still important to them?

Did it occur to them that repeated lying can be a poison ... and the next time they open their mouth, no one believes them anymore?

Weeks ago, the good senator was in a TV interview with Karen Davila ... and he was all over the place, telling the audience na maraming Piattos sa Davao.

He was a man on a mission ... was he trying to convince the host and the viewers ... or was he trying to convince himself?

And now in his latest inquiry about the confidential funds of Leni... was he trying to spread suspicion ... or is he generating skepticism? Only he can answer that.

The voters, however, were asking: How can he stomached feeding those doubts when fact-checkers have openly admitted that Vice President Leni Robredo was not given any intelligence or confidential funds in her term ... and that was an open book.

You see ... putak siya ng putak ... siya lang pala ang hindi nakaalam ng sitwasyon ni Leni sa panungkulan ng amo niya.

Or nagtangatangahan siya to cast doubts and instigate questions para mabudol ulit ang mga tao ... that yes may mga tao nga bearing the name Piattos vis a vis pronouncements that the said names does nor exists.

Mabuti na lang nandiyan si Senator Riza H., refreshing his fast-declining memory.
