Sharing GMA’s headache for one night


Political butterflies are a reality in Philippine politics, but we wouldn't have cared if not for one ruined evening care of the Nacionalista Party's mass pirating err...oath taking last night. We were waiting for some people yesterday night to join us for dinner. At around 8:30, the group said they're in Pili coming from Legaspi. We said, yey! let's order pizza so that when they arrive our orders would be done. But lo and behold, an hour has passed and they're nowhere. The pizza is starting to droop so what do we do - we called our guest. They said they're stuck in a massive oathtaking ceremony in Pili.
So to make the story short, what was planned as a night of hot, crispy shared pizza turned out to be huge packs of doggy bags. We waited for an hour and a half; asked the foods to be packed and met them in another place a half hour later. Yup, they spent more than two hours in traffic. We would have applauded if it was genuine political demonstration, picket lines and that sort of things.
But thousand of people (60,000 - MB estimates) in orange colored shirts just stinks choreographed.
The timing for that ceremony gave a bad rep to the Nacionalista's - which we hope gave their PR men headaches and we don't like the Lakas Party (the party L-Ray bolted) either, but for that night we must have shared the same sentiments for our pizza as GMA has thought of her lost party mates - Sayang!

P.S. The pictures came from BicolMail. We would have shown a picture of the actual oath taking but let's leave the PR machine to the pro's. :-)
