Makati City Hall Controversy

Philippines will not run out of soap operas. We have huge pool of great Actors... and Politicians. Politicians are a different breed of Actors. The make fantasy to reality. They can make lies a shinning truth and the truth a dark alternative. They bite - yes, they bite to the bone because the meat is not enough for them. They are cold calculated personification of the anti-christ that has a contract to pass through gates of hell - a road to perdition. 

Senators are different from Congressmen. Congressmen are like a pack of wolves. They rely on their numbers. They are small, agile and always hungry. Eat whatever they can take from their prey. Especially, if the prey are too weak fight or resigned to their fate. 
They take care of each other. They defend the pack. They can change their mind in an instant - because they are lead by an individual who has the power to punish them when they don't follow her whims but take care of them when they praise her for everything she has done for them.

Senators are like war freak tribes. They pounce on slightest opportunity. They are instrument of war lords. They are opportunist. They want to look intelligent. They can ask cryptic questions. Something you don't know how to respond to. They can ask stupid questions that you cannot correct in the fear of them taking it against you. You probably want to just be on their side.

2.7 billion. That is a lot of money - for 11 storey building. It's over priced. We know it. So as the other buildings and other infrastructures built by national and local government. Sometimes, it is a refreshing feeling to hear some corruption being made known to the populace. Especially, when the controversy involved the second highest official of the government. The possible next President. I just hope that those other involved in the corruption will also be slapped with criminal lawsuit and make sure that they will be convicted and people's money is return to Government coffer. I hope that this is not just a show of two Lawyers and a former SOB. I hope that this is not just a comparison of Makati and Taguig for the gentleman of Taguig to further push his agenda. I hope that at the end it will help the Filipino people to intelligently decide who to vote for on the next election.

I am watching the proceedings. I am watching the Actors. I am watching the Politicians.

Now, if not Binay who else?
