Election 101: Don't be the Common Man

Who would you rather have as your leader??

Someone like Julius Ceasar?



Or Someone like Mang Berting the Common man??






"Don't be the common man, be better than us, lead us! For God's sake we people were fooled by the macarena!" - Jon Stewart


Just like Christmas Day, the national elections are just around the corner as candidates begin to sing their carols (rather awfully) on every registered citizen's front porch. The smell of a fabulous Noche Buena served with campaign ads, painful jingles and horrible acting jobs linger at every TV station begging us to see those people who seek a presidential seat be seen as "the common man".

Early in the 90's the ever funny and satirical Jon Stewart said that during election time, that guy who wears that fancy suit everyday seeks to be seen by people as "the common man" to attract voters to a personality no different to our current situation. They pathetically try to trick us into thinking that we should vote for the common man who thinks likes us, talks like us and goes to sleazy a beerhouse like us to sing our hearts out to a run-down videoke machine. This I think goes way beyond the needed qualifications of a good leader.

First of all, the very reason that someone is deemed as a leader is that he has that specific trait that elevates him from the rest of society. Abraham Lincoln is not the average farm-raised, trash-talking 1800's american, Napoleon differed from most of the French during his time, and I bet Julius Ceasar did not share with the mindset most Romans associated themselves in. My point here is that an outstanding leader has that certain gift that most of us were not born with which destines him to lead his people to a state of glory and grandeur.

If I wanted the common man to lead me for six precious years of my life then I'd vote for that jobless "tambay" that hangs out in front of Aling Nena's store enjoying a session of drinking and smoking with his similarly unemployed friends. I might consider running for president myself and create laws that will enable me to get much booze I want for free for I know that's every common man's dream. The Christians surely did not see Jesus Christ as a common man for nobody will listen to someone talk all day long and preach about people's sins if he was not someone who men see as special. Jose Rizal would not be our national hero if he was just like us, for people like me would not die for a country to obtain its freedom.

So to all those presidentiables who seek to appeal to the masses by riding and driving a pedicab, singing with Sarah Geronimo, highlighting his childhood years in the slum or trying to get away with the age old tradition of hugging a child; please for Pete's sake you are not helping us decide. Be great, be glorious, tell us how you are like old Abe, compare yourself to Julius Ceasar, be Leonidas, be Genghis Khan, be the hero that people will look up to and be the perfect example of a great and prosperous nation you aim to achieve. Tell us that you are as great as any of the men that changed and shaped world history just don't tell us that you are like that jeepney driver who earns a meager amount barely enough to support his family of 7. For surely, just like all the other Filipinos, I wouldn't trust a jeepney driver to follow traffic rules and regulations, would I trust him more to lead my already starving people?

Why Politicians Should Not Ride on Cory's Bandwagon

Is he Badass?


I know getting politicians to shut up is a task as ginormous as finding the lost city of Atlantis. We were all taught to live with the fact that the crap that comes out of the mouths of these talkative creatures are the same messages that determine our country's future. Sure there are the good tomatoes but unlike the case of the rotting apple, the good ones do not help in creating fresh perspectives. After a while in the seat vested by the people, they decay along with the manure of society. It seems that the job description stated below a politicians application form reads: "If you are a social climbing, backstabbing and greedy beast who talks shit and do not care for people then this is the job for you. And one more thing, you must be rich and well connected."

One perfect example is Mayor Alfredo Lim of Manila.

Nicknamed "Dirty Harry" for his hands-on and ruthless approach to dealing with criminals and drug dealers, everyone found out that all of this was just pure showmanship. Not long ago his son was caught by the Police and the NBI operating a drug den and selling meth on the streets. Thus the so called drugs No. 1 enemy all this time hides family members who partake in this enterprising venture. So in my opinion all this renaming of Manila Science High School to Cory Aquino High School is just his ploy to get back on the good side of people. One message Mayor Lim, this does not help.

Mayor Lim, this plan of yours only makes you look like a kid who tries to get on the good side of his Mommy and Daddy but ends up making things worse and getting grounded for a longer period of time. Trying to ride on the bandwagon of Cory's death and the Filipino's sympathy for her and out pouring of love would not make you a better mayor. What you are trying to do is just plain stupid. Masci does not deserve its history and legacy to be erased just because you want your shit to smell better. Cory does not deserve to be a replacement for your own mess ups. What we all need is that you act like the man you claim to be when you begged for people to vote for you and execute something that is long term.

Build a school, build a new building, build a road or build a park, I don't care what ever it is you build and rename after the late president. Do not desecrate the sacred ground which many a student spent their teen years dreaming of a better tomoorrow and better politicians. If Cory could talk right now I'm sure she'll tell you to piss off and leave Masci alone. She'd advice you in her famous venerable voice that what she would want is a new school to accommodate more students and for you to get your act together. This is the reason why our country is a mess politically speaking. Our leaders want to make life easier for them alone thus taking shortcuts that make matters worse. They patch the cloth with cheap-ass fabric that tears off after a day. Their solutions are similar to those of toddlers trying to make sand castles.

So my last message to you O GREAT MAYOR, is to leave our school out of your shallow plans. We take no pleasure in the thought that the fate of our school rests on politicians like you who lose their common sense when assuming office. Our Masci will be Masci forever long after you have stepped down and regretted all the mistakes you have done in your years as Mayor.

The Name Game 2: We Should Also Rename These

So here's the deal:

The news about Masci being renamed once again was ignited due to conflicting statements from the teachers and the administration of Manila Science High School. Thus, alumni and those concerned once again are furious about the idea of a Cory Aquino National High School. This is a clear attempt to erase Masci's legacy and would make all alumni students of an extinct institution. So If Mayor Lim wants to rename stuff, here are the places or institutions he should give new names.


Manila City Hall -SM Manila Parking Lot

Manila Zoo - Philippine Congress

Malacañang Palace - Adams Family Residence

Department of Justice - Department of Suhol

LRT - The Late Express

Paco Park -Mini Sogo Hotel

Baywalk - Pokpok park

US Embassy - Real Malacanang Palace, the center of Philippine Government

Department of Tourism - Philippine Center for Prostitution and Exploitation


I could go on and on...

Pacquiao for President: No There won't be Belts in this One

Isn't this terrifying??






A national election is a very big thing for us Filipinos. This is the time that we all strive to make our voices heard and burden ourselves with choosing the next leader and pray that he won't be a douche bag like the last one. Similarly an upcoming Pacquiao fight is as sacred as Christmas or Holy Week for we will be watching our hero bludgeon another unfortunate soul to cuts and bruises resulting in zero crime rates and mortal enemies making peace with each other (or perhaps the creation of new enemies due to losing big bets). But what is thrilling with this upcoming election (like the last one) is that the People's Champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will be vying for another seat in the office. This surely beats Frazier vs Ali.

People have raised their eyebrows on this upcoming move by the rags-to-riches boxer for many believe (including myself) that he is incompetent for such role. Come on, throwing haymakers is very different from running a country! There won't be knockouts to put down financial debt and end widespread poverty. And surely, when all hell breaks loose due to poor decision making and lack of experience, he won't be saved by the bell.

My point here is that it takes more than sentences starting with "you know" to convince people that someone who punches hard and can take a hit can also give people better jobs and lives. We all have been victims of action stars that take their roles a little too seriously and use this to run for office ( Yeah, Lito Lapid the Gunslinging cowboy and Bong Revilla the all-around tough guy are GREAT senators!). Our political arena has become an extension of the Metro Manila Film Festival. For a country who aims to rise and achieve a brighter future ,supporting candidates who dance (uhm, not talking about Villar), try to act (Lalaban Tayo!!), and God forbid even sing (that guy from CHED with Sarah Geronimo can't sing shit! And also Bayani might be a good singer but pink doesn't match his eyes!) will not do us any good. So why should we worsen our circus-like politics by electing a guy who beats people up for a living?

Do not get me wrong, I don't hate Manny Pacquiao. I give him credit for putting the country back in the boxing map. I cheer for him when he fights and place my bets on him (and always win!). I recognize that he honestly earned his riches by literally fighting for it. What I don't like is that he will all just throw his hard work away by being aligned with the wrong persons (uhm, Chavit??) and losing all his money by running for office. He is a great fighter, But I believe that his 1-2 punch combo isn't enough reason for him to be an elected official.

If all else fail and the Pacman would run, Maybe Madame Auring should consider running for President. I assure her that she'll have my vote!

God help us all....
