Jojo Binay tagged as Obama of Philippines

A bodybuilder is facing charges of physically hurting a woman neighbor. “He was asserting his masculinity,” said my source smiling. That’s okay. What’s not okay is if he inserted his masculinity. Hehehe.

Makati Mayor Jojo Binay is running for President. His backers are calling him the Obama of the Philippines. Not because they got the same brain quality but because their skin color are the same.

Don’t underestimate Makati’s Jo-bama. He’s a fighting mayor. Short in size but tall in ambition. His image builders call him the best mayor in the country—even if he has no road properties to show off. Tee-hee!

The ten-peso add-on to your taxi fare continues to be in force. One cabbie said: “Why are they making so much fuss on the ten-peso add-on? That’s an insignificant amount.” Insignificant amount. And yet this cabbie and his colleagues are moving heaven and earth to hold on to it.

A policeman who got into a minor argument with a FREEMAN newsfotog, showed off his revolver, apparently to scare our fotog. It’s cops like this show-off that have given rise to the clamor that policemen, especially the tenderfoots, be made to undergo psycho and neuro tests. There might be some who’re sick in the head and are unfit to pack guns.

A reader who gave his name as Joel Santos of Lahug, Cebu City wrote me to relate what he saw on YouTube in the Internet re the abuses and atrocities of the MILF under commander Bravo.

Said Joel Santos: “Dili ko taga Mindanao pero Pilipino ko sama sa mga gipamatay sa MILF ug sakit para nako tan-awon ang ilang gibuhat… Kun makakita kamo sa kasalbahis ni Kumander Bravo kamo pod mobati sama sa akong gibati nga kaligutgot.”

I took some time to see the YouTube re the brutality of the MILF and I was appalled. I understood the bitterness Joel Santos felt.

Inspiring lines from Judelyn Saavedra, my clerical aide: “God often uses small matches to light great torches. No matter how small we feel in this world, we are always special and great in His eyes.”
