Here it is again. The writers of philiblogs.com have once again pooled their nonsensical heads together to come up with the Philippines’ Top Ten Twerps of 2008:

10. GMA-7 – for publicly feuding with rival ABS-CBN, going as far as suing each other, when they should be using their influence to show Filipinos that there are more benefits in unity and working together.

9. ABS-CBN – See no. 10

8. Citibank – for their sheer arrogance as they harass Citibank credit card holders by calling them on the phone and disrespectfully demand payment.

7. Globe Broadband – for their piss-poor customer service even as they spend hundreds of thousands to acquire new customers.

6. Justice Sec. Raul Gonzales – for being consistently obnoxious while believing he is being witty and snazzy. One example: when reporters asked if there’s anyone the Hultman family can go to to stop the executive clemency given to Maureen Hultman’s killer, Sec. Gonzales sarcastically answered, “jesus Christ.” He should have exhibited a little more compassion, the twerp!

5. Kentucky Fried Chicken – for arrogantly defying our senior citizens laws and shamelessly mistreating our lolos and lolas (read Ramon Farolan’s series of columns about this in the Daily Inquirer).

4. The top 3 petroleum companies –Shell, Caltex, Petro – for being incredibly insensitive (translation: greedy) to the plight of Filipinos by not lowering oil prices even when world prices are plunging. These are the thick-faced twerps!

3. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo – she’s in no. 3 simply because we’re tired of seeing her in no. 1.

2. The Congressmen in the Justice committee who voted to throw out the latest impeachment complaint against President Arroyo – for claiming the complaint had “no substance,” thereby revealing that it is them who have no substance.

And our no. 1 … drum roll please …

1. Jocelyn “Joc-joc” Bolante – for lying through his teeth to the Filipino people and not disclosing who his benefactor is, which brings us to the question: What hold does his benefactor have on him or is he just stupidly loyal a la Fabian Ver was to Ferdinand Marcos?

Agree or disagree? Anyone else that should have made it?
