Funny to see DJB gushing about the SWS survey.

SWS surveys are unreliable and biased!

Rizal’s martyrdom several years ago
But ‘twas gloria’s sacrifice* in 2002…

Quite ironic, I may say, for our dear nation

As Rizal’s prophesy of unification
Turned into gloria’s prophesy of disunification

He is the Chairperson of the Blue Ribbon Committee and he justifies his committee's inaction to the failure of Lacson to provide him the evidence. I thought the blue ribbon is a body for investigations, not a reception area for evidence by people alleging irregularities in the government. And that man is old enough to realize that Committee chairmanship, as his colleagues from the administration in the House were bragging about during the impeachment, is dependent on whether one belongs to the majority. He is certainly trying to catch up with his fellow Bicolanos, Lagman and Villafuerte. Perhaps he wants the three of them to be called the Bicolano triumvirate. Joker is really living up to his name.
