Pageant Oddity

In 2021, Alexandria Faith Garcia of the Philippines won Miss Aura International. Her First Runner Up was Alexandra Stroe from Romania.

In 2025, Krishan Pauline Alerre of the Philippines won her second Miss Aura International title. Surprisingly, Kira Andreea Joanna Stan also from Romania was the First Runner Up.

Was it a coincidence or fate has it written in the stars? 

History repeats ... and how it webbed its storyline ... has amused and entertained us, leaving our jaws open in disbelief. 

Indeed, this pageant oddity will be long remembered ... it is almost comparable to Halley's comet!

Why? Halley's Comet last appeared in Earth's skies in 1986 and is expected to return in 2061 on its regular 76-year journey around the Sun. 

See?

I Beg Your Pardon

Overheard from a blogger saying that Atty Larry Gadon - the Secretary for POVERTY ELEVATION said "NO" to BBM's sweeping order that all secretaries and advisers will tender courtesy resignations aimed at giving the President the elbow room to evaluate the performance of each department and determine who will continue to serve in line with his administration's recalibrated priorities.

I said What ... did he really mean what he said? Or was it just a slip of the tongue?

As far as I know ... Secretary Larry Gadon's title is Secretary on POVERTY ALLEVIATION!

Pag di na-convict si Sara, Eto Ang Mangyayari!

Political Ironies

Duterte Youth placing second in the party-list race was not proclaimed winner last Monday ... blame the Comelec as it has two pending disqualification cases: one is for alleged red-tagging of critics and the more serious one - their alleged lack in proper registration.

Ronald Cardema (the founder of Duterte Youth) was fuming mad and he issued some strong statements: "Sasabihin namin sa taong bayan kung gaano kalala ang corruption at pandarambong sa gobterno" that is kung hindi sila ma-proclaim.

Aba kung may balls si Cardema dapat sabihin na niya ang nalalaman niya ... nang magkalaman na. I just find it odd na sa daming alam niya may plano pa pala siyang itago ito ... and he will only divulge the government's dirty linens ... if they will  play hard to get  and not proclaim them pronto.

Eh sa ginagawa niya it looked like they are holding the Comelec hostage "kung hindi nila kami -iproclaim ilalabas nila ang baho ng gobyerbo. Ganoon ba yon?

Kahit saang angulo mo tingnan ... the threat smells like graft and corruption under RA 3019.

Graft and corruption involves the misuse of power and authority for personal gain often involving bribery, extortion or other illegal means like verbal threats ... or blackmailing  perhaps?

The big question is: Paano kung iproclain sila ... tatahimik na lang ba dahil nakuha na ang gusto nila?

Dapat habolin siya at mapiga kung ano ang mga alam niya at ginawa pa niya itong palaisipan!

Double Entendre

Double Entendre - The Dirty Finger

Mission Accomplished: Ang "boto" ko ... is my "dirty finger."

Funny how this kind of content is selling like hotcakes on the internet.

This is a Double Entendre, meaning the statements have double meanings. It is a word or phrase open to two interpretations. One is usually risque or indecent.

The other meaning of "Ang boto ko is my dirty finger" is that the voter, being unpolitically savvy, voted for the wrong candidate for the wrong reason. Perhaps it was their blind fanaticism that drove them to have uncritical zeal to disregard truth in favor of their favorite candidates.

They have a lack of tolerance for opposing views and ignore facts, and consider the accusations as false. Thus, they stick with their favorite candidate ... no matter what!

Or they literally sold their votes.

The indelible ink (dirty finger) is a metaphor for ACCOMPLISHING A MISSION ... (whether the candidate is wrong or not), it is not important, and they don't care less. And nobody can stop or sway them. This is what they believe ... so be it!

Is double entendre good or bad?

A "double entendre" is generally considered a good literary device when used appropriately, as it adds depth and complexity to writing by allowing for multiple interpretations of a word or phrase, often with a playful or humorous effect; however, if used poorly, it can be seen as confusing or even offensive depending on the context and the intended meaning.

Coosome Threesome

In July, there will be THRILLA IN MANILA - a TRIPLE THREAT of legal heavyweights will join forces as prosecutors in Inday Sara's impeachment trial.

Chel Diokno, Leila de Lima, and  Gerville Luistro will be an AWESOME THREESOME ... the TROIKA ... or was it the TRIUMVIRATE that will shed light on the already convoluted and intricately folded secrets on how millions of pesos from the government coffers were spent.

Filipino people are dying to know the truth, as the story has dragged on for months now. They are having anticipatory excitement ... and who wouldn't be?

I am expecting a courtside bloodbath.  And I can't wait to see who will flex legal muscle and finally win it.

Pagkatapos ng Midterm election ... the next big thing is the impeachment of Inday Sara set pagkatapos ng SONA ng presidente this 2025.

No wonder ang daming naghahanap kay Mary Grace Piattos. "Mama ... mama ... nay kilala ka bang Mary Grace Piattos?

A little birdie says Piattos exist in Davao City ... pero Mary Grace Piattos ba ang pangalan?

As far as the people know, there's no such person as Mary Grace Piattos ... that is just a creation and fabrication of one's fertile imagination ... walanghiya parang linya ito sa issue sa pinag-awayang mga islands ah (pahiram Senator-elect  Marcoleta of the ..." there is no such thing as WPS ... it is a creation by us" fame)

Wala raw makita sa mga birth certificates records ... not even sa mga death certificates.

However dito sa amin meron mga Piattos. If you want to know their exact location ... magtanong lang po sa Savemore ... at sa mga sarisari stores. 

Tutulungan ka nilang mahanap ito.
