ARROGANCE

SENATOR JINGGOY ESTRADA shot down the proposal of his half-brother Cong. JV Ejercito to form a “super coalition” between the Liberal Party and the United Nationalists Alliance for next year’s midterm elections. It would really be difficult for Joseph Estrada to coalesce his PMP with LP; he couldn’t even unite Jinggoy and JV.

Reacting to Cong. JV Ejercito’s proposal, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said, “I thought the UNA was the team to beat, so why are they asking for a coalition with LP?” Lacierda made Mar Roxas so proud.

Congressman JV Ejercito admitted that he was surprised by Edwin Lacierda’s “arrogance.” For a moment, JV thought Lacierda was Jinggoy Estrada.

Relieved
A policeman who was driving a van was relieved of his post for not giving way to President Aquino’s convoy along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City Tuesday morning. If this happened in Davao City, the cop would probably be eating the van right now.

Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said Senior Police Officer 2 Ricardo Pascua who was relieved of his duties “was arrogant.” And SPO2 Pascua was like, “Look who’s talking!”

SPO2 Ricardo Pascua is being investigated for not giving way to the presidential convoy. Defending himself, Pascua explained he thought the President was serious when he promised, “Kayo ang boss ko.”
