ito ang lugar na magsisilbing tambayan ng aking mga maikling kwento, sanaysay, at sari-saring artikulong sadyang maiksi ang pagkakagawa at perpektong basahin kasabay ng paghigop sa mainit na kape.

Passing the Torch

Reporter: Mayor, how do you answer the question raised by your constituents why you chose your son to be the head of the City Development Council?

(interpretation: Mayor, ano po ang masasabi ninyo sa tanong ng mga nasasakupan nyo kung bakit ang anak nyo na hindi naman government official ang pinili ninyong mamuno sa City Development Council?)



Mayor: You know, my son is very much capable to do the job. I believe in what he can do for the development of our beloved city.

(interpretation: Tinatanong pa ba yan? Last term ko na. Kailangan ngayon pa lang eh makilala na si Dyunyor at mabigyan nang mas maraming exposure. Tingin nyo ba aalis ako ng ganun-ganon na lang sa City Hall? Ano, bale?)

“The State shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law.”

Congress has not defined political dynasty yet, because if they do, where shall they be next? It's a sad, sad Philippines.

Umm, cha-cha na tayo. (Do I hear violent reactions)

Where do you find those facts (Art. II, Sec. 26)and how? Pardon my ignorance for I know no better except that I am against political dynasties. I thought we're well past that ... I guess I am wrong.

I'm for cha-cha. Kaso, sana yung Con-Ass/Con-Con walang mga sariling agenda. Sana isipin nila yung kinabukasan ng Pilipinas.

Di rin naman kasalanan ng mga pulitiko kung nagkakaroon sila ng dynasty. E, mga tao rin naman ang bumoboto sa kanila.
