Put A Little More, Congressman John Bertiz III




      Last week, a video of  Party-List Congressman John Bertiz III speaking to  engineering board passers during their oath-taking at the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) went viral. In the video, Congressman Bertiz was heard saying, in a serious, almost angry tone, that all the passers who didn’t know SAP Bong Go (apparently, the congressman’s patron in Malacañang who’s aiming to be a senator) would not get their license, a declaration that was booed by his audience.

      Congressman Bertiz III apologized and said that he was only joking at that time, a proof that most people in this present government are nothing but a joke.

      Then just a few days after the PRC incident, Congressman Bertiz III struck again. He was seen in yet another viral video ignoring common airport rules and berating and bullying an airport worker whose only crime was to remind him of a certain airport rule.

      Congressman Bertiz III, after offering absurd  explanations (which the video could easily belie) on why he went ballistic, had meekly apologized.

      But then everyone knows now that there's nothing meek in this politician. Other anecdotes and videos showing him throwing his weight around are now surfacing.  He's conceited, arrogant, feeling high and mighty and untouchable, and that he ran for a public office not to serve the people but to be served and be treated like a king. Unfortunately, majority of our politicians do not really differ from this tyrant-wannabe, most of them are self-serving, greedy and corrupt who think majority of the people are idiots, gullible and uneducated..

      And that’s why the Philippines  has always been doomed.

      And you know why these politicians think lowly of us and are contemptuous of us, the voting public, the people they’re supposed to serve? Because despite the fact that these fuckers keep on fucking us up, we keep on voting them. The Marcoses, the Estradas, despicable politicians all, but where are they now?  All still safely lodged in the corridors of power. Bummer, isn’t it?
 
      So, Congressman Bertiz III should put a little more effort if he wants the public to take his apologies seriously. Yes, put a little more effort, Cong.

       Put a little more.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
