POKPOK PARTY LIST


WALANG naglakas-loob sa kanila na sumugod sa Comelec upang maging… kahit na salimpusa lang sa halalan na matunog ang signos ng umaatikabong harumpakan.

Mayo 10 easily sounds out as, well… having a tool for fixing the wound that never heals the more you scratch it the better it feels… or endowed with a member of good standing.

The year 2010 reads as a pair of… uh… let’s just say it’s going to be a fight to the penis… at pulos itlog pa nga ang nakatambad sa bagong anyo ng balota… at kailangan nga na kulapulan ng tinta ang mga naturang itlog… na karamihan nga’y bugok.

Hindi kataka-taka na pati ang kabiyak ay nangangamba sa aking boto… baka raw isalpak sa ari-saring urinary tract… eh, urna nga pala or ballot box.

In the absence of common sense which isn’t common, quite a rarity in these parts, made worse by the lack of a defining law to figure out whatever “marginalized sector” means, every dunce drooling over chunks of pork barrel that run into millions… plus perks and pelf… such prospects had driven dolts into a frenzy… off they trooped to the Comelec for inclusion as legitimate party list.

Marahil, higit na mataas ang pagpapahalaga ng mga pokpok sa kanilang sarili… Heavens bless them work horses, they wrack and whack out their bodies for a pittance while keeping their thighs wide open for business.

O talagang sila ang talagang may malasakit sa kapakanan ng mga nagbabayad ng buwis, hindi na pinagnasaan na maging masiba’t hayok na lintang sasaid, sisipsip sa dumudugong bulsa ng taxpayer.

Kahit pa inihalihaw ang 12% VAT—na dayukdok na pumatong at nagpalipad sa presyo sa samut-saring produkto’t bilihin, pati na sa professional fees… huwag na huwag kalilimutan, si ex-Sen. Ralph Recto ang kapural sa halihaw ng VAT… hindi naman nadagdagan ng 12% VAT ang carnal services rendered nilang mga kawawang pokpok…

Silang mga pokpok ang tunay na mahirap… sila ang tunay na may malasakit… na hindi nagbuklod bilang Pambansang Ugnayan ng Kababaihang Inaapi… which would have stood out as an acronym for a party list…

Yeah, an electoral exercise is a labyrinth to get lost in… but with a party list like that that ought to be listed there will be labia to get lust in.

‘Yang mga lintek na party list… each putatively purporting to represent a marginalized sector of the body politic that’s conveniently missed out or dumped outright by any so-called Rep. – for “reptile”— that speaks volumes how the reptile isn’t doing his or her job for the entire populace that he or she represents… inutil na kinatawan, matinding kawatan…

Kaya mga masungit at masugid na mambabasa… urong-sulong labas-pasok para sa kapakanan ng mga pokpok, the genuine marginalized portion of the nation’s body politic!

ALAMAT NG TAHONG

SAKBIBI ng agam-agam sa kalagayan ng butihing kabiyak-- at kabiyakan, opo-- na nakaratay sa karamdaman, ang pumalaot na mangingisda ay napagawi sa paanan ng dambuhalang Waczim-- isang bathala na nagkakaloob sa sinuman anumang ibulwak ng bibig mula sa bukal ng dibdib. Pangangailangan sa salapi na pambili ng gamot ng kapilas-pusong maysakit ang nakasaklot sa puso ng matandang mangingisda. 'Di kaginsa-ginsa'y bumundol ang kanyang bangka sa paanan ng Waczim. Kagy at umigkas ang katagang kimkim noon sa kanyang dibdib: "Salapi!" Bumuhos ng salapi-- mga butil at gilit ng ginto-- mula papawirin. At halos umapaw sa ginto ang bangka ng nagulantang na mangingisda, walang pagsidlan ang galak, at walang humpay ang pasasalamat sa mga bathala. Nanumbalik ang kalusugan ng kabiyak ng mangingisda. At lumago ang kabuhayan, naging mariwasa ang magkapilas-puso na dating maralita. Nilasing ng kanyang mga dating kalapit-bahay ang mangingisda-- na hindi ikina...

Cal y canto con camote

FENG shui (literally, wind water flow) lore has it root crops embody a hidden store of treasures. Say, a local food conglomerate needs yearly 35,000 metric tons of cassava for livestock feed-- the available local supply falls short of 13,000 tons. Cassava granules sell for around P9 a kilo. Demand for the same root crop to be used in liquor manufacturing is hitting above the roof. Why, raising cassava is a no-brainer task— this is one tough crop that can grow in the most hostile patches of earth, providing sustenance for ages to dwellers in sub-Saharan parts of Africa. While the hardy cassava is nearly pure starch, the lowly sweet potato or kamote is considered by nutritionists as a super food, the most nutritious of all vegetables— kamote levels of Vitamin A are “off the charts, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.” A fist-sized kamote can supply a day’s dose of glucose to fuel the brain, muscles, and organs, so they claim. Count the country lucky...

Wealth garden

‘TWAS CRUEL as smashing a budding green thumb: some years back, an abuela warned me about letting any clump of katigbi (Job’s tears or Coix lachrymal jobi for you botanists) from growing in our homeyard. That grass with rapier-like leaves that smelled of freshly pounded pinipig supposedly invited bad luck and sorrows—why, that biblical character Job wailed and howled a lot, didn’t he? (But was later rewarded with oodles of goodies, wasn’t he?) Then, I came across some arcane text that practically goaded folks to grow katigbi in their gardens—why, there’s a starchy kernel wrapped shut in the seed’s shiny coat. A handful or more of kernels could be cooked as porridge. Too, one could whisper a wish upon seven seed pods, throw ‘em pods in running water—a river or stream—and the wish would be granted! I was warned, too, about planting kapok or talisay trees right in the homeyard—these trees form a cross-like branching pattern. Pasang-krus daw ang bahay na kalapit sa puno ng kapok, tal...
