Trouble In Paradise?

Trouble In Paradise?

Another melodrama is looming and emerging... and even the journey of Kiko Pangilinan and Bam Aquino in the Senate was not spared, as it has its own twists and turns. 

Ayaw ba nila magpatalo sa convoluted storyline ni Inday Sara in her impeachment trek? Masaya yata ang lahat, kung toast of the town at pinagusapan sila ... at laman ng mga diyaryo at social media.

The persistent talk about two true-blue comebacking potential minority members who were newly reelected  ... and will give Risa  Hontiveros a boost in terms of moral support, company, and a shoulder to cry on ... in the jungle walls of the Senate ... made its dramatic turn ... and was nipped in the bud.

After a grueling campaign season, where Sen. Risa spent a lot of her waking hours campaigning for the two, the effort paid off, giving his friends the second and the fifth spots in a highly contested Senate race. 

Well, after some triumphant celebration ... reality showed its ugly face, and it looked like there was no fairy-tale "and-they-live-happily-ever-after scenario" in the Senate coming soon.

The much-touted troika opposition leadership waiting to make its presence felt ... were just a byproduct of Dilawan's fertile imagination, ... and the happy ending everyone expected in this Senate fantasy ... is a fluke and remained a fantasy.

The minority bloc world came tumbling down after the alleged ka-kosa or ka-tropa had their neck craned to other lucrative possibilities - where the grass is greener ... and the honey is much sweeter.

If rumors are true, they were promised a lot of perks, benefits, and additional gravy and bonuses, including chairmanship in Senate important committees. Dahil lang doon nagiging marupok na sila, and readily jump ship to join the Escudero group?

Huwag sana makalimutan ni Aquino at Pangilinan why voters catapulted them to become the second and fifth Senate topnotchers in the last election. They were voted to become a robust opposition fiscalizers... and joining the Escudero bandwagon is just like kowtowing and waving the white flag. Not even honoring friendship or the voters who made their win happen.

Nasaan na ba ang utang na loob? Pagkatapos manalo pati panindigan nawala rin? The two have to remember the Gen Z and millineal group came in grooves to put them on the top. They will surely be disenchanted and disillusioned na ang ibinoto nila ay madali palang makalimot/

Whatever gains they had in the last election, they should be consolidated and not squandered by making kanya-kanya moves. To each his own? That won't work. 

Tingnan mo ang mga Duterte senators nagtatag-team sila ... and working in a cohesive riding in tandem fashion. Simply put, they are a picture of the IZED battalion - harmonized, synchronized, organized, synthesized, and systematized fighting machines.

Risa H. was obviously disheartened ... but she didn't show it. The fact of the matter she made a resolve to continue the fight even if it means she and she alone will arm-wrestle the formidable Duterte Seven.

The Kakampinks and the Dilawans were disappointed too. Isang verdaderong rah-rah girls wished na sana tsismis lang ito and hope na mahimasmasan ang dalawa when the senators vote who's who in the Senate presidency.
