BROADBAND TAILINGS

Are you attuned to the Broadband caper? Then you may be amused to read the following new words and phrases on the subject::

Moderate grid: an acceptable percentage range to be added on a government expenditure as bribe money for its approval. Honor among thieves.
Patriotic fund: money offered to a government functionary to make him change his mind. Definitely not a Mafia-inspired reward money.
Communal action: CBCP’s way of admitting it erred in praying that Erap be booted out in 2001. Too late did it realize that it was like “jumping out of the frying fan but ending up directly into the flaming fire.”
Let Us Hold on Together: song popularized by Sec. Dinky Soliman in 2006 who turned out to be the weakest link in the President’s cabinet.
Let Us Hold on Together (2) song now being sung by a choir led by no less the President. Will Sec. Gary Teves now be the weakest link or will it be another, like Neri, for example? And will the Supreme Court ultimately allow Neri to do it?
Brazo de Mercedez Inhibits herself: The only and most logical alternative at ducking the slings and arrows of the opposition that were at aimed at her being the “Ombudsgirl.” It probably is the same as saying, “Look here, classmate, there’s no way I can possibly open my big mouth and not incriminate myself.”
Apostolic wit: “Dapat ideport yang probinsiyanong intsik!” which, when loosely translated means, “better that that provincial Chinaman be deported” totally overlooking the fact that he looks more Chinese and chinky-eyed on the mirror than the instant celebrity that he was referring to.
A guy named Noli: The VP with a wide grin registering on his face, as if saying: “sigi lang kayo, ito ang tawag na coasting along the homestretch.!”
Sen. Ate/Kuya: Deo Macalma’s description of Sen. Jamby Madrigal, thus totally relegating the monicker “Tito Sen” that described Tito Sotto at the halls of the previous Senate.
“Jello”: nickname of the instant celebrity, and rhymes with “yelo” the local word for “ice”. Ever heard of ice, putting the president on the hot seat??
STOLOPRO: acronym for “stolen loan proceeds” the loan obligation that undoubtedly was over-inflated and ultimately will be the burden of the future generations who had nothing to do with it.

This pun was not written by a political maverick but was concocted only to amuse and attune readers to the current atmosphere. If the reader is somehow offended by these diatribes, then the writer can only offer his apologies.

And readers should not worry, this definitely is not yet the end of the world, for planet earth will still rotate upon its own axis twenty four hours each day and 365 days a year except during leap years another day is added.

But to the skeptics who may feel that it can lead into miserable deaths, they should still be consoled that if they belong to the religions founded by the Semites (Jewish, Christian or Muslims) then they can still die and hope for resurrection after death, or if founded by the Indians of the Near East (Hindus, Buddhists or Jains) then they can reincarnate hopefully outside the Philippines and live a peaceful life in that secluded place.

And by the way, those who don’t want to make it their and their descendants’ burden at paying these atrocious loans mentioned in Item 10, the only logical option is for them to just MIGRATE!!
