Is Manny Pacquiao a Political Butterfly?
A butterfly flies from flower to flower, sipping the nectar from each flower. A politician transfers from one one political party to another to ensure his victory on the upcoming elections. He/she is also called a political butterfly.
And the latest addition to the roster of these butterflies is no other than the Pambansong Kamao, world-class boxing champion-turned-Saranggani Congressman, Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Pacquiao. He formally joined Vice President Jejomar Binay’s Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) when he took an oath to Senator Koko Pimentel last night at the Makati Shangri-La. Although Manny was a member of the Nacionalista party with Sen. Manny Villar, he was an ally of President Aquino and the ruling Liberal Party.
Here’s the thing: I admire Manny Pacquiao as a boxer but I cannot say the same with Manny Pacquiao as a politician. Or as a TV host. Or as an artista.
Welcome to Pinoy politics!

Headline of the Day
After a tension-filled week worrying about the rocket launch of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and their young, new leader Kim Jong Un, the whole world (especially the Philippines) breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the rocket (suspected of being a ballistic missile) disintegrated on the atmosphere and fell on the Yellow Sea.
And laughed their asses off.
It appears that the massive launch of memes and heckling yesterday on the internet across the globe was more successful than the launch of the Unha-3 rocket.
And the meme-loving country like ours was not left behind on giving a good laugh about that failure. Various pictures spread yesterday, with some being creative and funny on giving the reason why the rocket disintegrated (It was stopped by our beloved Mars, Twitter’s Superstar Marian, the rocket was from CD-R King, etc.).
And one of our tabloids was not to be left behind on giving us a good laugh. On today’s issue of Abante, it has a funny headline ‘Supot’, describing the failure of the North Korean rocket.
Supot, for my non-Filipino readers, is a Filipino slang which literally means ‘uncircumcised’. It has an unfavorable and derogatory manner which means ‘not man enough’, or ‘not strong enough’. (Circumcision is a right of passage among young boys here. You will not be considered a true man or strong enough if you haven’t been ‘cut’.)
North Korea has been bragging about this rocket for some time now so why fail? Analysts are saying that being a hermit nation, their technology was 50 years behind. I have this theory that this rocket was just a decoy, a planned failure, a part of the grand plan to showcase the young leader’s power.
Will the world be in danger against this little nation? We don’t know yet. But for now, just enjoy the good laugh.

Dinky Soliman’s Origin: Hair of Nymphadora Tonks + Physique of Dolores Umbridge
I was always fascinated with DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman’s colored burloloy-ed hair. She’s unique and the most stylish among the Cabinet Secretaries. So I asked the newly installed Zodiac Sign Orphiuchus about its origin.
Okay I was just kidding. I used my imagination and thought of something magical to explain her cutie decolores burloloy.
The first person that entered my mind was Nymphadora Tonks - a half-blood witch on the Harry Potter series and a metamorphmagus. A metamorphmagus is a witch or a wizard with the ability to change her appearance at will, rather than using potion or spell.
Dinky Soliman is also famous on sporting different colored burloloy-ed hair. She may not be able to change it on will but we enjoy her different hair color.
On a second thought, I remembered Dolores Umbridge. She has the physique of Secretary Soliman. Had the Philippines made an adaptation of Harry Potter series, I suggest Secretary Soliman to play the role of Umbridge. And yes, Nova Villa is also an option.
On a deeper sense, we can also think of Dinky Soliman as a Political Metamorphmagus (If J.K. Rowling will allow me to use that term). She was a DSWD Secretary of Gloria Arroyo and her BFF. But Dinky turned her back on her former boss, joined the Black and White Movement, jumped to the other side of the political fence, and is now again the DSWD Secretary under Noynoy Aquino’s Administration.
This is Philippine Politics. Welcome aboard!
The real world may not be as magical as the world J. K. Rowling created. But we can make our own magic. But when something is fucked up with the governement, no cruciatus curse nor verisaterum can mend things up. We must fix it ourselves.
That is the big difference between reality and magic.
But Secretary Soliman, don’t get me wrong. You will always be my favorite fashionista Cabinet Secretary. Padayon!

Bakit ganyan ang mukha ni Kris Aquino?
Nagsimula ang lahat sa isang opinyon mula sa isang kaibigan na mukha pa rin daw nakatawa si Kris Aquino sa kanyang mga horror movies. Kaya’t tiningnan ko ang trailer ng latest niyang pelikula, ang Dalaw, at kumuha ng screenshot.
At ang ganda ng nakuha ko. Aminin mo! Aminin mo!
Inaanyayahan ko kayo sa larong ito. Piliin lamang ang numero ng sa tingin mo ay pinakamalapit na sagot. Kung wala ka namang mapili, maaari kang magbigay ng sarili mong dialogue. Game?
- “Noy! Bakit kasi you broke up pa with Liz? I love her pa naman!” - Hindi pa rin mapigilan ang bibig ni Kristeta sa kanyang mga unsolicited advice sa buhay ng kanyang Kuya Noy.
- “Noy! Is that true? You’re dating a stock broker named Len Lopez? Gosh Noy! She’s so payat like Kim Chiu ha?” - Hindi pa rin mapigilan ang bibig ni Kristeta sa kanyang mga unsolicited advice sa buhay ng kanyang Kuya Noy Part 2.
- “Bimby! Stop that! Tantanan mo na kasi yang Nido!” - Hindi niya maawat si Bimby sa pagpapak ng Nido (Hindi ko pa rin gusto na Bimby ang tawag niya kay Baby James).
- “What?! Wala na akong napkin? Bakit ba kasi hindi nila ako kinukuhang endorser ng napkin?!” - Desperate move sa pagpo-promote ng pelikula niyang “Dalaw”. Hindi mo na-gets yung joke? Ang slow mo naman.
- “What?! Bakit ganoon? Hindi pa man umuusbong, naputol na yung pagmamahalan namin ni Ted?!” - Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, pinagpyestahan noon sa internet ang mistulang “ugnayan” ni Ted Failon at Krissy nang interview-hin ni Ted si Kris sa TV Patrol. Hindi mo pa rin ma-gets? Basahin mo ito.
- “Humanda kayo! Tatakbo ako kapag natapos na ang termino ni Noy! But I can’t wait! I can’t wait! Dapat, now na!” - Oo. Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, may balak tumakbo si Krissy in the near future. Juice ko! Kung ano na lang ang ma-tripan.
- “What?! James! Mag-aartista ka na din? Aagawan mo pa ng trono si Bimby?!” - Para ulit sa mga hindi nakakaaalam, naging parte si James Yap ng latest upcoming film ni Krissy na “Dalaw” (na sa aking opinyon ay isa lamang hard sell na promotion ng pelikula).
- “Oo! Inaamin ko! Hindi nag-rate ang Pilipinas Win na Win kaya nawala ako doon! Happy na?!” - Isa pa ring katotohanan na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin inaamin ni Krissy (Personally, I think that show should be axed, now na! Sayang lang ang precious air time).
- “What?! Noong nakulong si Hubert Webb, single pa ako! Hanggang ngayon, single pa din! Bongga!” - Uso naman ngayon sa internet ang mga Hubert Webb jokes, papatulan ko na.
- “Utang na loob! Manood na kayo ng Dalaw! I swear, mas nakakatakot pa ‘to sa Feng Shui at Sukob! See my face? See my face? Nakakatakot hindi ba?!” - Enough said. May pelikula si Krissy. Support her if you want to. Now na!
Ano sa tingin mo? Bakit nga kaya ganyan ang mukha ni Kris Aquino?
Disclaimer: I have been posting serious posts over the past days so I decided to lighten things up - and write something about my favorite Presidential Sister. I have nothing against Kris Aquino. I love her crazy antics and nakakairitang voice. This was made for humor purposes only. Thank you. (Defensive ampota!)

President Noynoy Aquino: Certified S.M.P. Member
Disclaimer: I was watching TV Patrol earlier this evening and there was this news item regarding the alleged “pambabasted” of Liz Uy to our bachelor President (you may watch the news on this link). This inspired me to create this one to lighten things up. I imagine the Aquino family talking like this:
President Noynoy: Yung ilong naman nya, “to the left to the left.” Although, ang smile niya meron, pero ang puso niya WALA! Wala siyang puso! Ito, pinag-ipunan ko pa sa maliiiit kong allowance na natipid ko from the budget cut, but that’s another issue.
Baby James: Kawawa ka naman Tito Noy..
Kris Aquino: Sige Noy, ibuhos mo pa.
(NARRATOR: Buhos lang ng buhos, ganyan ang love ni Krissy. Ganyan ang saya sa Nestea - bottomless)
President Noynoy: Huh, ayokong maging member ng SMP - Sana May Pumatol.
Kris Aquino: Halika Noy, hug kita. NOW NA!
