This post is funny though ... but infuriating ... especially if you experience rotating brownouts for 1 week - I felt like there was no end in sight. You just can't help kundi ang habaan ang pasensiya mo ... otherwise nag-umpisa pa lang ang umaga mo ... sira na ang mood mo. Imagine patay-sindi every 4 hours?
I appreciate memes like this that touches on the now subjects. Just one question though: Nakikita bang madilim ang isang lugar ... kahit tanghaling tapat?
The new trend now in far-flung provinces that is a 1 or 2 hours flight to Manila is to adorn and accessorize their final shows and coronation nights with stars, TV or movie actors, and previous pageant winners.
Gone are the days when anybody could be pulled up as an emcee or be the judge ... now everything is being scrutinized and should pass the pageant microscope... from the hosts ... to performing guests ... and for the jury and selection committee ... "name recall" becomes a requisite. It has become almost "de rigueur" nowadays that for a pageant to meet the semblance of prestige and stature ... the organizers should not tighten their belts ... so the sky is the langit.
Just like the other provinces in 2023, Iloilo did their home work ... so they tighten some loose screws and delivered. They hired actor and model Victor Basa as the host ... and his female counterpart was Maria Gigante of Cebu, a fellow beauty queen and a Binibining Pilipinas alumna.
Invited guests and judges include Actor and Bench Model Juan Carlos Galano and previous pageant winners Francisca Beatriz Mclelland (Miss Eco Teen Philippines 2022) and Tracy Maureen Perez (Miss World Philippines 2022... an exceptional troika adding more pizzaz and glitz to an already glamorous night.
All these are steps in the right direction. Now if the organizers in Iloilo are open-minded, they should also listen to sincere and constructive criticism ... like placing a handsome budget for the stage and other technical aspects. I am not going to expound on this time ... as this is their first attempt.
I for one believe in doing it slowly ... from baby steps to giant strides... let their labor pains be mild. For a first-time producer ... let us not overwhelm them with details ... but the second time around ... I will sharpen my reportage and call a spade a spade.
Good job for a first-timer.
A climate of stupidity made this collection possible.
It chronicles the most outrageous occurrences of shortsightedness, incompetence, and poor judgment.
Not all characters in these dispatches are stupid. Some are merely ridiculous or momentarily inept.
Others are very bright people who become innocently entangled in improbable situations that turned out to sound stupid.
The papers that reported these occurrences are all reputable mainstream bastions of journalism.
Thanks to them, for without their efforts we will never see any strange news from this strange planet.
Although a lot of us are worried about the threat of crimes in our neighborhood. The good news is, that there are plenty of crooks who don't realize that they are their worst enemy.
Are you ready? Here we go!
A dog in Pennsylvania shocked its owners after eating $4,000 (Rs 3.32 lakh) in cash. According to the BBC, seven-year-old Cecil, a goldendoodle, snacked on the envelope of money its owners had set aside for some job last month. Clayton and Carrie Law said they retrieved most of the money from the chewed up lot and only $450 is missing. They even took to a veterinarian but were told the dog is fine.
The couple had withdrawn the money to pay to a contractor in cash for installing a fence.
About 30 minutes later, they were surprised to find their beloved dog enjoying the money, leaving scattered pieces of cash everywhere.
Sadly, only three could come with their gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense. Several others were lost and instead, they traveled far and wide.
One went to America - the so-called Burger King. One went to China and was called Chow King.
And the third one went to the Philippines ... no other than the Tapa King himself.
Was the priest joking? I know all he wanted was to inject humor and get the attention of the audience watching at home?
Whether it was funny or not ... kudos to him ... for putting a smile on my face ... after a very hectic Christmas and New Year celebration.
