[Title] => Bolante's joke?
[Summary] =>
Soon after hearing about his request for asylum from US authorities, a number of Filipinos may have asked, "is Jocjoc playing a joke on us or if not a joke, is Jocjoc Bolante making bola?" No pun intended here, honest.
Why would a very prominent official appointed by GMA to the Department of Agriculture and a very close friend of GMA's husband want to seek asylum?
He is hunted by the NPA, Mr. Bolante says. Is this a joke or Bola or is Joc Bolante really very serious and has evidence to prove his asylum plea?
