Ex-Future President Mar Roxas
Ang mainit na usapan dito sa Manila eh ang speech ni Senator Mar Roxas last Friday sa No To Charter Change rally sa Ayala. Biruin mo naman - nag-say ng bad word. At hindi lang basta-bastang bad word ha, hindi tanga, o tarantado, o yung pasosyal na oh shit o pa-konyo na punyeta - kundi isang malutong na PUTANGINA!!!
Hindi naman ako moralista para sabihing UY ANG SAMA NUN. Sa ‘kin cool lang yun. Ang interest ko eh ang thought process for Roxas to do that. Of course hindi naman spontaneous yun. Calibrated at deliberate syempre ang mga ganyan. Para sa isang tatakbo for the presidency, planado ang talking points nyan.
Eto ang na-iimagine kong nangyari dyan:
The senator was having dinner with his staff and advisers. Sabi nung isa nyang speechwriter “Mr. Senator, this rally is your chance to break away form the pack, to differentiate yourself from the other presidentiables. You should say something different, something to show your fierce and determined side. I strongly suggest you say..” eh biglang natapon sa speechwriter yung tubig ng katabi nya, so napasigaw sya ng “PUTANGINA”. Ayun, nasama sa speech.
Hindi pa natin alam kung positive o negative ang resulta ng speech. At least the next day, nasa frontpage, upper fold ng lahat ng dyaryo si Mar Roxas. So malay mo, ok nga.
Sige panoorin nyo na lang muna yung speech:


[…] far as one can remember, Roxas promised a 50 % cut on the prices of 21 ESSENTIAL but EXPENSIVE medicines on all pharmaceutical […]
[…] for us, Filipinos, and until the day now, even after their marriage and honeymoon… numbers of detractors still […]
[…] people was pushed to be skeptic about it and how in just a glimpse the people was oriented to this Mr. Palengke. One day, the Philippines was watching television with Korina Sanchez confirming her relationship […]
[…] But other than being the sons of Ninoy Aquino and Gerry Roxas, Noynoy and Mar have absolutely no similarities to their fathers, who carved a name of their own in Philippine politics. […]
