Nakakatuwa ang blog entry ngayon ni Jove Fran­cisco, hayaan nyong kopy­ahin, hiramin ko ang ilang mga bagay na tungkol sa pag­babago ng ihip ng hangin sa Mala­canang at ang isang nakakatuwang inter­byu kay Luli ang anak ng pekeng pangulo.

ERMITA: “The Pres­i­dent would like to tell every­body that there’s really noth­ing wrong with all these issues and that the admin­is­tra­tion is will­ing to reveal all it knows about the contract.”

Wow! Parang 'Hello, Garci' ano? Ilang buwan ang rehearsal bago mag­pal­abas ang Mala­canang. Siguro naman ay kabisado na ng mga miyem­bro ng gabi­nete ang kani­lang mga linya, pag-​arte, at mga adlib.

Sino naman kaya ngayon ang aatak­i­hin sa puso at maoospi­tal? hahaha

Sinasabi sa Biblya na mag-​ingat sa mga pekeng propeta na mag­susulputan kapag mala­pit na ang kat­a­pu­san ng pana­hon na siyang lilin­lang at mag­dadala sa atin sa kapahamakan.

Pero sabi rin ng isang guro ko dati, na hindi dapat pani­walaan ng lit­eral ang mga naka­su­lat sa Bib­liya, mga taong hibang lamang ang guma­gawa ng ganito. (Pas­intabi sa mga panatiko at deboto)

Sa isang banda, pare­hong tama ang Bib­liya at ang aking dating guro, may mga pekeng propeta at ngayo'y pekeng pan­gulo. Pak­ing­gan natin; (o basahin)

PGMA: “OUR ATTEN­TION MUST BE FOCUSED AS OUR ENER­GIES MUST BE SPENT ON ACTIV­I­TIES THAT DO GET COM­PUTED IN THE GDP. UNFOR­TU­NATELY FOR SOME, MERE EXER­CISE OF VOCAL CHORDS IS ALREADY A HARD LABOR. YES, POLIT­I­CAL CIR­CUSES ARE ENTER­TAIN­ING. BUT THESE SHOULD NOT DIS­SI­PATE OUR ENER­GIES THE WAY THEY CON­SUME THOSE WHO STAGE THEM. LET’S FOCUS ON THINGS THAT MATTER MOST, THE THINGS THAT OUR PEOPLE WANT: JOBS, HEALTH, EDUCATION….THIS IS WHAT GOV­ERN­MENT HAS STAYED FOCUSED ON WHAT FIL­IPINOS YEARN FOR MOST. WE’RE TIRED OF POLIT­I­CAL DRAMA AND SOCIAL INSTA­BIL­ITY. WE’RE ENTER­ING AN ERA WHERE THE VAST MAJOR­ITY CAN HAVE A PRE­DICTABLE FUTURE AND A STEADY JOB IN THE KNOWL­EDGE CENTURY…LET’S NOT BE DIS­TRACTED OR DIS­TRESSED BY VAUDE­VILLE ACTS THAT APPEAL TO OUR WORST FEARS, WHEN WE CAN BE INSPIRED BY WHAT OUR ECON­OMY IS SHOW­ING THAT APPEALS TO OUR BEST HOPES.”

Ito ay kanyang talumpati bilang reaksyon sa mga iskan­da­long naganap sa Senado tungkol sa NBN con­tract na ini­imbesti­ga­han ng mga Senador. Dito rin bin­ul­gar ni JDV3 na hindi lang pala si Abalos ang sangkot, kasama rin ang First Gen­tle­man na Mike Arroyo sa kon­trober­syal at maanom­alyang kon­tratang ito.

Magk­aganoon man, mali­naw na nililin­lang tayo ng pekeng pan­gulo, at pilit na pinanini­walang dadal­hin niya tayo sa kanyang "Enchanted King­dom" (Abangan)

Pero hindi lang sa pekeng pan­gulo ka malil­ito, mabubuang at matatawa kapag nakinig ka. Pati ang kanyang anak, ika-​dudugo ng iyong tenga kapag nar­inig mo siyang sumagot sa mga ilang tanong sa kanya.

(How did you deal with yesterday’s rev­e­la­tions at the senate)
Well ako per­son­ally ako nakakai­nis kasi parang ano, kami na naman yung nakita niyo, eh nananahimik na nga kami na, eh mula sa simula pa lang ng polit­i­cal career ng nanay ko hindi tlaga kami nakikialam sa govt con­tracts. Ewan ko sa kanya. I mean, ako I don’t use my par­ents’ influ­ence to get govt con­tracts. Ewan ko sa kanya. So to me, I mean, don’t..just because you fail in your busi­ness prac­tices don’t blame it on inno­cent people here. So parang, kakai­nis ka naman noh. But, I mean, what can we do? Ganyan talaga yung… I don’t know. I don’t know if his old drug use affected his think­ing but– what­ever! I mean, tawa na lang kami diba? I mean kami na naman what else is new?

Nai­i­nis kayo dahil kayo na naman? Hahaha, aba'y sino bang pumipirma sa mga kon­trata na pina­pa­sukan ng gobyerno?

(what do you say to alle­ga­tions that your dad pur­posely went abroad to evade this)
For me that’s again grasp­ing at straws as thin as his hair­line. You know? I mean, my Dad and I, we were talk­ing about sev­eral trips that we were gonna do over the next couple of months. I also travel a lot. So do my par­ents. So we were talk­ing about, oh where are you going, ganyan ganyan. And my dad was saying, o aalis ka na naman—referring to me. So he was even com­plain­ing about my trav­el­ling. So I really think it’s unfair. Just because they don’t know the whole pic­ture, because we do have our pri­vate lives. I mean they shouldn’t impute things they don’t know.

Wala namang masama sa paglili­bot sa ibang lugar. Ang masama kapag ang pera ng taum­bayan ang ginagamit sa paglili­bot, o di kaya'y dinadala niyo sa kung saan mang banko para itago at kamkamin.

(how do you think this will affect the polit­i­cal rela­tion­ship of your mom with the speaker)
Well to me, well there’s no change in the way my mother runs govt. She’s focused on that. With the speaker and his son, I mean, that‘s their prob­lem That’s really his prob­lem. We don’t wanna meddle there. So sila yung may prob­lema hindi kami.

Hahaha! Tama ka, kasi wala talaga kayong prob­lema, kayo ang prob­lema! hahahaha!!11

(how’s your dad taking these things? Anong sabi niya sa iyo)
He’s ano na lang. Parang nakakai­nis na nakakatawa. He’s like, hay naku it’s me again. Can’t they see other people? I’m thin na nga. I’m a smaller target pero ako pa rin.

Mawalang-​galang na FGMA, sino ang payat?! *ehem* Paanong naging "smaller target" ka eh, kung saan-​saan ka nakikita, sa Hong Kong, sa Wack Wack, sa Ger­many, sa Venice, atbp at kung sinu-​sinong tao na makati sa mata ng pub­liko ang nakik­i­tang kasama mo?

(when is he coming back)
He’ll come back soon. But for me, the only thing impor­tant for me is to leave him in peace and let him enjoy naman his holiday.

Baba­lik yan pagkat­a­pos ng mga hear­ing sa Senado o kaya ay tuluyan nang malito at mawalan ng interes ang taum­bayan sa mga hear­ing. Dahil sisim­u­lan na ang 'pal­abas' ng Malacanang.

(gusto siyang i-subpoena ng senate)
Well the senate, they have their own rules and I leave it to them. And we have noth­ing to hide.

(di d ur mom sleep well last night)
Yeah we’re fine! I mean there’s really no prob­lem there. I think I get more inis because she’s used to it eh. To me it’s really just frus­trat­ing that we’re doing so well and they’re look­ing for things that are not there. So gawa na lang sila ng kwento.

Ako rin may isang kwento, ang pam­a­gat niya ay "Hello, Garci." May maiks­ing video pa nga ako e.
