Tahimik lang ang buhay ni VP Leni noon. Walang kakulay - kulay ... kulang na lang sabihin ng iba na BORING ito. Trabaho lang siya at walang drama.
Kabaliktaran naman ang buhay-VP ni Inday. Puno ito ng drama na sinahogan pa ng maraming condiments para maging exciting at ka-abangabang ang mga ganap.
Her impeachment is reaching a fever pitch; her feud with BBM has worsened, and her political allies are significantly contributing to the controversy.
Her Senate bosom buddies are acting like one big orchestra, with one unseen conductress unifying and shaping the overall political and musical ensemble.
The conductress directs the show. She is responsible for setting the mood and the tempo, indicating dynamics (loudness and softness), phrasing, and cueing entrances and exits for different instrumental sections.
Imagine the senator judges moonlighting as lawyers for Sara, the damsel in distress? Saan ka ba nakakita na ang mga senator na maghuhusga sa second highest elected official ng bansa ... ang siyang nangunguna sa pagsalba sa kanya? Only in the Philippines ... and they call themselves impartial, objective and unbiased?
Who can forget Bato de la Rosa's histrionics as he demanded that the impeachment be dismissed? Last election sabi ni Inday ibalik siya sa Senado ... at ito ang kanyang opening salvo as senator elect. Tingnan ninyo kung saan siya dinala ng utang na loob?
How about Alan Peter Cayetano's modification of dismissal to remanding? It is classic. Kahit siguro ano pang evidence and ilatag mo sa trial ... sigurado they will vote to acquit.
Ang number one senador na si Bong Go (tatahitahimik lang yan) ay nag-second the motion kay Bato sa dismissal ayaw ring magpatalo. Ang second the motion niya ang kanyang contribution.
How about Imee Marcos competing with Risa Hontiveros and trying to drown her efforts and confuse her? Nagaalangan pa siya pero wala siyang magawa dahil may inuutos ang kanyang mga ka-kulto.
And who could forget Joel Villanueva coaching Senator Imee Marcos to raise a point of order to pester and harass Senator Risa? Coming from a very religious family, one reader wondered why he was on the other side of the fence.
At may pakindat kindat pa siya as he threw that sinister smile, unmindful na may kumukuhang camera. Caught in the act siya bilang matapang na guerilla para sa mga Duterte ... bakit biglang naduwag bigla at almost incommunicado (or Incognito ... pahiram ABS CBN) sa mga interviews. Pinag-agawan bigla ng media dahil sa kanyang ginawa. Ngayon lang nangyari yan ha!
And Bato's waving to Imee to start the verbal melee (the camera won't lie) ... any ordinary mortal suspects it was orchestrated ... almost like a Senate conspiracy ... rather, it was the group's plan to derail the impeachment process and delay it till kingdom come.
Si Robin Padilla nga kahit walang maicontribute sa proceedings halos hindi na makaupo at feeling punong abala talaga siya.
And Imee Marcos paano niya natanggap na siya'y utusan lang ... and how can she allow herself to be used and abused like that, and acting like she was the means to an end? Sabi nga ng isang blogger ... Ano siya uto-uto?
At si Chiz? Say cheese na lang tayo sa ganyang mga argumento.
