This is not a political critique
Nor is it a policy analysis or anything to be taken
seriously.
These are just my two cents on
Isko Moreno’s babysitting struggles.
I am extremely bias and NOT CRITICAL.
It’s only been a few months after Manila has fallen into the
crazy hands of the Ejercito-Moreno tandem and it hasn’t taken them long to,
uhm, turn the city into one giant… joke.
I think… I’m afraid… that I might actually like it.
1.
Before anything else, I WAS proud that someone
is finally going all Margaret Tatcher in terms of policy implementation (Case
in point, all this Iron-fist-I-will-not-allow-provincial-busses-to-enter-Manila-roads-action)
But that was until I found out that there is a chance this could all be one
massive money making scheme.
What media doesn’t
really expose: Provincial buses will be allowed to enter Manila roads ONLY
if they pay a dashing 80-120 peso fee. He he he. Genius.
Any abusive
bureaucrat would grasp the chance to milk out this whole traffic issue; the
prospect for money making is now hidden behind the façade of ratifying a law
with principal urgency.
So much for Tatchering our country out.

I do not know how to feel about this, again.
Apparently Ejercito met up with the bus owners, hoping that gracing them with
his presence will strike enough fear to once and for all, stop their endless
lobbying against this new city ordinance. And of course, as theatrical and
action star-like our Manila mayor has always been, he showed up in full
military combat gear. ANGAS.
Really now. Really. Really.
Really now?? REALLY? Is this a joke?
Atty. Ferdinand Topacio to Mayor
Ejercito (non verbatim):
Pasensya na po Pangulong Mayor.
Hindi na po kami gagawa ng kahit ano upang kailanganin ninyong magsuot muli ng
combat attire.
Not sure if respect or farce but
anyway, that leads me to my next thought…

How and when did people start addressing
Ejercito as Pangulong Mayor…? What
the hell is that about? No amount of explanation could ever rationalize this in
my head.

Newly crowned Manila traffic czar Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, has been spotted in the
streets of Manila doing some on-hand MMDA work.
-You are the most beautiful man in the
whole Philippine Government.
-My partial pretentious critic self refuses
to acknowledge any as
pect as a Vice Mayor you may ever fall short on.
-I actually feel bad for you. It must be
difficult baby sitting our aging Mayor. I am 99.9% sure he isn’t doing
anything useful and that you are now the sole CEO of Manila.

Why does Ejercito always sound drunk?
