Just Random Thoughts

1) At the rate the supposed ‘players’ in the 2016 presidential elections are washing each other’s dirty linen in public, they should likewise be cancelling each other out from the almost maniacal race to be the next Pretender – paving the way for the emergence, hopefully, of a White Knight who will lead this country out of that bogus path, crooked and full of potholes such as it is. About time you disappear from the face of our benighted land – husbands, wives, sons, daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren of families whose sense of entitlement and lack of character have reached the people’s breaking point. Have you no shame?

2) At this point, ANYONE is a better alternative to BS Aquino III. Stop the crap already about no one ‘good enough’ to take his place. No one is INDISPENSABLE, people. The first anointed King of Israel was replaced by the previously unheard-of giant-slayer because the former was more preoccupied with – and this one really sounds familiar – hunting down his perceived enemies than attending to the needs of his people, which the Bible says displeased the Lord. As the jeepney driver might say, God knows who does not pay.

3) Is it still ‘More Fun in the Philippines’, DOT? Selling the country as a land of good Swedish massages in the wake of the recent and successive devastations (“Feeling the Pressure. More Fun in the Philippines” goes the title of the full-page ad at TIME Magazine’s POY issue, with a photo showing a girl in swimsuit being massaged in the arm by an attendant at a resort) is in bad taste, to say the least. How about a big ‘Thank You, World’ for coming to the aid of our beleaguered nation instead of your meaningless sloganeering? In the first place, is it really fun to arrive at the airport (with no CCTVs, duh) considered as one of the worst in the world?
