THE CITY OF COTABATO is still submerged in floodwaters. Apparently, clearing Rio Grande De Mindanao of up to 20 hectares of water lily growth wasn’t enough to control the flooding. People are now wondering: how can we rid the Spratlys of the Chinese when we couldn’t even rid our rivers of water lilies?
President Aquino visited Cotabato City Wednesday. He personally witnessed the threats posed by hectares and hectares of water hyacinth growth in Rio Grande De Mindanao. If the threat persists, the President will reportedly deploy BRP Rajah Humabon to the mighty river.
LTO chief Virginia Torres has an unsolicited advice to solve the problem in Cotabato City: “take over the Rio Grande De Mindanao!”
But Albay Governor Joey Salceda has a more radical suggestion: “boycott all products from the river!”
Maguindanao Trial
The good news is NBN Channel 4 will air the live and non-stop coverage of the Maguindanao massacre trial. Even better news is… meron pa palang Channel 4!
Approval Rating
According to a study conducted by Pulse Asia, 7 out of 10 Filipinos approve of President Aquino’s performance. The other three were identified as Len, Liz, and Shalani.
Odd!
In Tanauan City, a poultry worker discovered a newly-hatched chick with four feet. In another odd story, residents of Batasan Hills in Quezon City reported frequent sightings of crocodiles with two feet.
Meanwhile, the hunt is on for a crocodile that reportedly attacked and killed a 36-year-old man in Bataraza, Palawan Tuesday. Authorities are trying to determine the crocodile’s size, age, and district.
Speaking of crocodiles, former Pagcor chief… (sa ibang araw na nga lang.)
Philippines’ Wealthiest
In the annual Forbes list of richest Filipinos, GMA 7 executive Gilberto Duavit ranked 26th while Atty. Felipe Gozon was at No. 30. ABS-CBN’s Gabby Lopez was ranked 39th but he is confident of overtaking his GMA rivals in a separate survey to be conducted by Kantar (TNS) Media.
No to Necrophilia
Senators Manny Villar and Jinggoy Estrada have filed separate bills seeking to criminalize necrophilia – specifically, having sex with a corpse. The proposed measure has reportedly scared off prospective suitors of Madam Auring!

C: “Parang gusto kong kumanta. Hmm, teka… 1, 2, 3! Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng water lily? Nag-Pasko ka na ba sa gitna ng Rio Grande?”

Hahaha. Logical yan at yan ay pasimpleng blaming the previous admin pa rin.
“Sa ngayon pag-iisipan natin, gusto ko lang makita personally, doon sa mga parating binabaha. Paalala ko lang, ise-celebrate pa lang namin ng first year ng aming administration.”
Ito ang karugtong: Ang talagang sanhi ng pagbabaha ay sapagkat ninakaw ng nakaraang pangulo ang pondo na nararapat sana ginamit sa paglutas ng problema sa baha.

Yep, blame everything on the previous administration. In fact, while we’re at it, why don’t we also blame the heavy rains on GMA. It’s alright because the only reason why we put someone to replace her is to just echo all our complaints. I mean, we don’t wanna put too much pressure on the new president, right? Lest it will consume his time on doing his “other” activities, right? C’mon, let’s cut him some slack. It’s just his first year. Don’t you guys know how hard it is to give speeches that would tell you of how disgusted he is about those who criticize him?! That could take all of his brain power man!
You people don’t know how hard it is on him to rise every morning and go to work. He could’ve just planned all his time on his target shooting or maybe, I don’t know, playing PSP…
Get your priorities straight, people (or your expectations). Don’t put too much pressure on the president. You know he could only take so much! Phffft!
