In the book “Strong Republic” (possibly a parody of Chairman Mao Tse Tung’s Little Red Book -sic), it was boasted in one of Arroyo’s speeches ( which really got me confused, speeches? Lies would be more applicable) that:

“Kamakailan, may sumulat sa aking tatlong batang taga-Payatas: sina Jayson, Jomar at Erwin. Ginawa nilang paper boats ang liham at pinalutang sa Pasig River patungo sa Malacañang.” (Translation: “Recently, there were three kids from Payatas who sent a letter to me: Jayson, Jomar and Erwin. They made their letters as paper boats and they have it set sail to Malacañang, via the Pasig River“)

One need not to understand the laws of buoyancy and physics for this situation… it is so imaginary to build a paper boat that could withstand the current of that river and travel 2-3 km to Malacañang… and more faroff, an imaginary malacañang personnel seeing and retrieving the paper boat from the murky river. ( Ferdinand Marcos had also a similar concoction; that he was a war hero…) This is a poor attempt to get your constituent’s attention; “Kulang sa Pansin.” (Translation: Attention Grabber, an old filipino expression)

Final words: Arroyo needs not words but tangible actions, actions that has results and not insults; prove that her program is not like Fidel Ramos’ Philippines 2000; towards a strong and not a wrong republic.

-= I rest my case=-

(geez… please also stop using kids, old persons and poor people in earning symphaty… flattery will get you no where…)
