Economy, Reality and Strategy?

NEDA Secretary Augusto Santos was elated to note that the economy was not worse than expected. So he seemed to be thanking someone from above as the picture below from the Manila Times show.


Pero teka, di kaya may tumutulo kaya siya nakatingala?

But surveys show that the figures from the government does not truly reflect the reality from below.

Another Manila Times headline: GMA and foes all say bishops are right!

Really? But will this make a difference? To add, as what Senator Kuratong, err.... Panfilo Lacson said, GMA and allies even twisted the words of the Bishops.

Magdalo escapists, shoot to kill na?

According to Malaya: Maj. Gen. Romeo Tolentino, chief of the Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) based in Tarlac, said Monday he has issued a "shoot-to-kill" order against four Magdalo officers who escaped from detention two weeks ago.

Unquote: Bakit, takot ba si Tolentino sa Magdalo? O takot siya na ma-recruit ng mga ito ang kanyang mga sundalo?

Aminiiinnnn!!!!!

Well, Gloria in the Palace is again busy trying to win the hearts of the soldiers. Yesterday, she tried to woo them with her housing project.

But wait mamanyim, ano na ba ang nangyayari sa housing project mo para sa mga apektado ng Northrail Project? Ba't kambiyo ka ulit ngayon?

Takot ka rin bang iwanan ng mga sundalo mo? Mag-resign ka kaya? Kung habulin ka nila, di ba mas makikita mo kung nagki-care sila sa iyo? Kasi kung ikaw maghahabol.... ewan. Cheap ba?
