What insect could Trillanes have eaten?

I think Filipinos know this guy who instilled fear when he cursed the Arroyo government by bringing grenades and bombs in a hotel somewhere in Makati. If I rememeber it right it was in 2003.

Fast forward he was out of jail through a pardon. I know because I read the news or rather watched him and saw him on TV.  He was out of prison. Fast forward again he ran for Senator and he won.

Forward again, he ran for Vice President but he lost.

Rewind a bit from this year 2021 he was an ardent critic of President Rodrigo Duterte. He is risking his future just to bring down the man he hated: President Duterte.

Now in the recent months, weeks, days he declared a statement to the media that there is a possibility that he would run for President in 2022. 

All these just because of his hatred toward a man who did not accept his offer to make the former as his running mate (President) when he decided to run for Vice President before the filing of candidacy in 2016 Elections.

What could he have eaten these current times. Does he know that the majority of Filipinos hate him? Or let us say do not like him. Does he know that he is only known as an infamous person. Does he know that people only knew him through his sensationalized or fake bravery in the Oakwood Mutiny in 2003?

It's only at those time he became known to the public, for the delusional, self-proclaimed heroism he brought it upon himself, and then make that kind of doing be used as his forefront to fill his ambition to become a politician. People know it. I can tell because almost all of my neighbors and strangers I meet in the streets, relatives, friends all hate him. Just because I'm from Davao doesn't mean this is bias. Look at the social media issues today, Just look at the comments section. Even his own post in his own Facebook account are mired with not only bashes but aversion of his character or even him as a buman being. His despicable nature had already been overly publicized. Does he know it?

So now, what in the world Trillanes could have eaten these recent months? Why he cannot accept the fact that he couldnt and wouldn't win against a strong and very popular Dutertes? I wonder why. Is he incredibly incorrigible, delusional man? Is he insane?

What insect could he have eaten? Did he eat the poop of a cockroach or a mouse?

Oh wait have you seen this man eat a food on TV or in person? I haven't. I wonder why.

What do you think?

Trillanes the Real Villain

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrels, as a wise man once said. Reminds me of this quote when I totally understood the clash between Senator, the former, Juan Ponce Enrile, and Senator, the former too, Antonio Trillanes IV in a Senate hearing some years ago. In truth it was the confrontation that interest us. A simple argument turned out to be personal. The quarrel what made us amused and not the content of what was revealed.
The backdoor talk with the Chinese was the highlight. Trillanes didn't want that. The Enrile 'favoritism' issue in the Senate should have been the agenda. But no. Trillanes failed. Enrile is too wise a man and too old a man you can outsmart. It's too difficult to win with this man. How can you argue with this man? 94 Years Old with a brain still sharp. Imagine the experience he had undergone. The history he witnessed that you can only read in books. This heated exchange revealed some dark secret of Trillanes. Trillanes was caught in his own actions. Like frying in its own oil. Trillanes blew himself up. Had it not been for his privilege speech he would have been saved from that embarassment. He threw himself off a high cliff. This is where I discovered his capacity to commit evil. It's only now I realized the more evil in him. It's only now I understood the whole story, what he really did on that backdoor talk with Chinese officials. It is only now that I learned all these because I watched and listened carefully the video up to the end. Well, there is always the other side of the story. Maybe. Maybe what Enrile told us was the only story we could digest. Maybe the other side of the story could have been worse. That's politics anyway. A man doesn't choose evil because it is evil. He only mistaken it for the good he seeks. We can always settle at that.

Duterte VS Carpio

(By Ex Senator Juan Ponce Enrile) A few days ago, I saw on TV a mini verbal tussle between President Rodrigo Duterte and retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio. Their topic was the opposing claims of the Philippines and of China over certain islands, islets, reefs, atolls and sandbars in what we call the West Philippine Sea. Evidently, the clash between them involves two different approaches to a foreign policy concern of the country. Justice Carpio wants the President to take a harder, more assertive, and more aggressive stance against China. The position of Justice Carpio is the best approach, if we have the wherewithal to back it up. But, to me, it is not feasible at the moment under our current national circumstance. All we have right now are our patriotism, our courage, our sovereignty, our rights under generally accepted international law and under UNCLOS, and under our arbitral decision and victory. No doubt our arbitral decision was a great feat and a proud feather on our national cap.
But realistically, we are not Japan, nor a Taiwan, nor a South Korea - not even a Malaysia or a Vietnam - in terms of armed capability. Our economy is not that big and strong enough to enable us to make a credible challenge against a country like China. Our fishermen and our naval and air capability are no match to the swarm of Chinese fishermen, to the swarm of Chinese Marine Militia, and to the swarm of Chinese Coast Guards operating in the contested area. We have too much to lose, if we make a wrong move. If we make a harder, more assertive, and more, aggressive stance, we might imperil our people, our core territory, and our economy. We might even dishonor ourselves in the eyes of the world, if we cannot back up our rhetoric with or military strength. There is no world government with an international police organization to protect us. We have to protect our national interest ourselves. The UN cannot help us against China. It has no capability to enforce its decisions, and its members have their own individual interest to protect. Besides, there is the veto power of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, which include China. Neither can we depend on the United States to protect us against China. It has its own national interest to serve, besides its internal and external problems that limit her capability to help anyone. To me, it is better for us to bid our time, male our economy bigger and stronger, and strengthen and modernize our defense and military capability before we raise our fists..

President Duterte Shows Mockery Of His Own Joke in 2016

President Duterte on his latest speech, May 10, 2021, in Davao City, responded once and for all the 'jestski' boruhahas. He said that he really bought a jetski but it was not brand new. It was slightly used, second-hand. And that he thought of the size and number of tanks of the jetski that he was finding solution on how to get gasoline for those tanks. He said he tried going to the sea but then all he found was all water. There was no gasoline stations around. President Durterte obviously joked around here. He intentionally mocked the critics in response to his previous statement in the 2016 Elections campaign that he said, or rather promise, he would go to the Scarborough Shoals with a jestski and bring a Philippine flag around. He said it has a bravado, to meant that really was ready to die for his people; for his country.

Emergency Powers para kay DUTERTE, para malabanan ang COVID-19, Kinontra ni Hontiveros!


For Senator Risa Hontiveros there is no reason to give President Rodrigo Roa Duterte more power to address the rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19).

"The proposed grant of additional powers to the executive branch is clearly unnecessary to address the most pressing needs of health workers, COVID-19 patients, and poor Filipinos alike in this critical period," boladas the senator.

According to the senator, there are existing laws to give the government an effective way to counter crises.

"Our existing laws already grant the government the powers and other necessary tools needed to mount an effective response against COVID-19," Hontiveros added.

Senadora Hontiveros also did not attend the special session, which discusses giving President Duterte the power to take immediate action on the covid-19 situation. According to the senator, he simply follows the protocol set by the Department of Health (DOH).

"I am strictly following the health protocol set by the DOH and am currently under self-quarantine set to end by March 25. As part of the Senate Minority, I have asked the Senate President to allow my participation thru teleconferencing," Hontiveros promised.

It was recalled yesterday that MalacaƱang had a proposal sent to the congress where the executive asked that President Duterte be given emergency powers to address the threat of infectious disease.

Some of the powers stated in the proposal include authorizing President Duterte to take over business establishments and public utilities to provide temporary accommodation for health workers.

Currently canceled by the administration of classes in schools, the government has also implemented an enhanced quarantine community throughout the island of Luzon. And recently the government has again subjected the whole Philippines to the "State of Calamity".
