Quick Quips

I think Ballsy Aquino took the words straight out from our moths when she pointed out that her brother, President Noynoy Aquino, prefers dating younger women. At the ripe age of fifty, the new President has been romantically linked with women almost half his age.

Err…So what?

What’s the big deal here. He’s single, and despite occupying the country’s top post, he too, is also human and needs a partner to talk to, have dinner with and well, you get my drift.

So, if he indeed made the call to at least let him be in terms of his dating life, well I think we ought to give him that. A happy president is by all means, a productive president.

In true political irony, Senator Joker Arroyo got the wool pulled under his eyes when he was reminded that hey, weren’t you the one who called for CPP founding leader Joma Sison’s amnesty during Cory Aquino’s administration?

Yep, he did. Maybe he just forgot.

Congressman Jules Ledesma’s odd behaviour during a GMA 7 interview has made me see twon things straight; first, the dude is in a different universe and second, wherever that universe may be, his odd grin and evil sneer makes me believe he is the Darth Vader of whatever universe he is in.

Go figure.

DoJ Secretary Leila De Lima was quoted the other day saying that she was embarrassed that she still does not know where Senator turned fugitive Ping Lacson is.

Believe me madam when I say that you shouldn’t be embarrassed because I have no idea either.

Presidential sister and actress Kris Aquino has signed on to do a movie with actor Dingdong Dantes.

Whoopsie daisy. (and they continue asking why Philippine cinema has never managed to move forward)

Seeing an angry Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim lash back at his critics and the members of the IIRC committee was just so entertaining that they have to really air it on TV and radio for everyone to see.

Poor Lim, who despite a colorful police and political career, will now be remembered as the mayor who; left for coffee during the crucial hours of a hostage crisis and got mad because he was recommended for charges for going on a coffee break during the crucial hours of a hostage crisis.

Don’t even get me started with his vice mayor.
