What was Revillame’s beef? Sucaldito questioned in his radio program why Wowowee had to have contestants with average school grades of 75%-79%. It was the last straw for Revillame of a series of negative commentaries by Sucaldito.

Still, Revillame could have complained privately to his network bosses about Sucaldito. To publicly broadcast his anger and to threaten to resign was the height of arrogance. In his tirade the national sleaze even mentioned that his program was making a lot of money for ABS-CBN and that they were not the only channel.

If I were his boss I would have accepted his resignation or fired him on the spot. But I’m not ABS-CBN. I like to think I have more propriety than them.

ABS-CBN has shown time and again that they have no scruples when it comes to money. They could have fired Revillame from Wowowee may times before, but they didn’t and they won’t. He makes millions for them, which is why Revillame has turned into an arrogant monster.

What I predict ABS-CBN will do is try to pacify Revillame and Sucaldito. They won’t fire Sucaldito, because they might look like mindless tyrants. But they’ll definitely keep Revillame.

Ako ang simula ng pagbabago (I am the start of change) is the slogan of ABS-CBN.

It makes them look like the biggest, most blatant hypocrites in the land.

The point Revillame was trying to make was that the media was not being truthful in its crowd estimates when it came to Villar’s campaign sorties. Later, news clips showed Revillame leaving the rally site surrounded by what appeared to be bodyguards, looking like a big shot who had all the influence in the world.

I didn’t know whether to hate him some more or just laugh.

I decided to laugh.

For one thing, the point he was trying to make was stupid. Who cares how many attend Villar’s rallies? Besides, when you’re as delusive as the master you serve, 1,000 can look like 10,000, 5,000 can look like 50,000, and so on and so forth. The point is, it’s not how many are attending Villar’s rallies but how many are not.

The recent surveys of SWS and Pulse Asia reveal it: Villar’s ratings are plummeting, all due to the fact that Villar’s true colors are showing. He is lying through his teeth when he bandies about that he was born and grew up poor.

If Villar’s campaign is all about lies, what do you think his presidency will be like if he wins? But here’s what makes shivers run up and down my spine. If he wins what role will he give the national sleaze, Willie Revillame, in his government?

Speculate and weep.

So let me make it clear. The conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, the parents of Bongbong, was responsible for hundreds of people killed or missing during its reign. It is responsible for millions of dollars siphoned off the Philippine treasury, earning for this country the appellation, "Sickman of Asia."

And where was Bongbong during this time? Enjoying the perks and privileges of a virtual prince. Did he go against the corruption of his father? Did he speak out against the human rights abuses of the Marcos tyranny?

No! In fact he fled the country, fearing for his life along with his disgraced family.

So, how dare he opens his mouth and speak as if he was Mr. Clean. He was even quoted as saying that People Power 1 failed. If it indeed failed, its failure was its inability to bring Bongbong and his ilk to prison.

Bongbong should be thankful. And he should show his thankfulness by letting the Filipinos know that he is sorry for what his family did when they were in power, desist from running for public office and just disappear into the night.

One less Marcos is one less possible dictator and thief.

Villar insists that his family was really poor. He insists that his brother died because they had no money. Yet reports have it that Villar’s brother died in FEU hospital in 1962, when FEU could have been compared then with today’s Makati Medical hospital or St. Luke’s. His remains were then taken care by Funeraria Paz, a funeral house then and now not a choice of the poor.

But these are all beside the point. It’s not just the big lie that Villar wants to perpetuate that he was poor. It’s his unwillingness to answer questions from his Senate colleagues about his involvement in the C5 controversy. It’s his obscene campaign spending (I ask again, why is he so desperate to win the presidency?). It’s his association with political whore, Loren Legarda, whose ambition is so obvious. Last but not the least, personally, it’s his association with the National Sleaze, Willie Revillame.

There’s still one point that Villar hasn’t clarified: his studying in private schools. If his family was really poor, how could his parents have afforded enrolling him and his siblings in private schools? Will Manny Villar justify this by saying his father also borrowed money?

Hard to believe. Like all that Villar is saying. They’re all hard to believe!

He’s a liar, plain and simple. Like GMA. Do you want this man President of the Republic of the Philippines?

I shudder at the thought.

There was airhead Kris Aquino teasing fellow airhead Ruffa Gutierrez about leaving "The Buzz," in particular, and ABS-CBN in general, which prompted Ruffa to walk-out of the show.

Kris claimed she had no intention of hurting Ruffa. I believe her. She simply doesn’t have the finesse nor brains not to be tactless. But get the reaction of Ruffa: she called on the Filipinos not to vote for Noynoy Aquino, the brother of Kris, who’s running for President.

What had Noynoy have to do with their quarrel? Nothing. It’s just that Ruffa and Kris have more in common than they know: the lack of brains.

Enter the mother of all airheads, Annabelle Rama, Ruffa’s mother. She gets into the fray by claiming Kris was the reason for Ruffa’s decision to leave ABS-CBN. Then she too called for the Filipinos not to vote for Noynoy.

Noynoy, meanwhile, is wondering how his name got into the quarrel.

Simple. In a meeting of mindlessness, anything can happen.

How about an encore, girls?

I stated in a previous post that a good number of the Philippine electorate is comprised of idiots, but not all. Villar, however, seems to believe he can fool everyone.

In another news item, Villar and his team (including Loren Legarda who does nothing but pose for the cameras) campaigned inside a military camp by conducting a walk of unity, which again violates election laws. Villar said cockily it wasn’t a campaign and added that he would campaign where there were a lot of people.

Yet he was walking hand-in-hand with his party’s election bets. Sure, they were not shouting, "vote for us," but you do not have to say anything to make a campaign statement. Again Villar trying to hoodwink Filipinos.

Apparently, because Villar got away with the C5 anomaly, he thinks he can get away with anything. Such is the man.

Villar the most trusted presidential candidate?

That’s not what Filipinos are saying. That’s what Villar’s money is saying.

Personally, the man’s personality stinks!

His defiance gives a preview of an attitude that Villar is above censure and accountability for his actions connected to his companies’ activities to push the C-5 project.

The project is covered by appropriations in which he intervened during its budgetary hearings as member of Congress.

There’s no way that he will step down or suspend his campaign for the presidency while a boycott of his allies is preventing the Senate from voting to censure him.

He remains untouchable in this regard. In stonewalling on the committee report, Villar is a law unto himself and above the rules of the Senate on disciplinary action for breach of the rules.

There are no party sanctions to bar him from election activity until he is cleared by the Senate, simply because he is president of the Nacionalista Party.

If Manny "Wysiwyg" Villar believes he is above the law in his current position, how do you think he’ll treat the presidency if he’s elected?

He presents himself as the underdog by claiming he’s not a haciendero or he doesn’t have famous parents and that he was born poor. He claims, "what you see is what you get." Yet, this is not entirely true. What we don’t see is a sinister personality who used his position to benefit from a road construction and uses lapdogs, the media and reasons and excuses to evade sanction.

Don’t believe in his sleek ads. All they show is a person who’s spending obscene amounts of money, desperate to become President of the Philippines.

We wonder why. To alleviate our country from poverty? If you believe in that, you probably also believe the moon is made of cheese.

2. During lulls in the Senate, he can have Luningning and her dancers gyrate on the floor. But this won’t be the first time someone gyrates in the Senate. Remember the impeachment hearings of Erap Estrada?

3. He can make a privilege speech and insult anyone and everyone, since he’ll be immune from suit.

4. He can write a bill to make Pau liniment the national balm.

5. He can write a bill to make spousal abuse a non-criminal offense.

6. Hell, he can even write a bill to make women second-class citizens and mere sex toys. Chavit Singson would love him!

7. He can distribute money, not to mention dollars, to the other senators and claim he was doing it for the Senate good, complete with sentimental music in the background.

8. He can cheat his way to become Senate President. He was able to do it in his show; why not the Senate?

9. If the public loses interest in the Senate, he can offer house and lot packages to the public so they can stampede –literally speaking– to the Senate entrance. If anyone gets trampled to death, there’s always Gaby Lopez to defend him.

10. He can be the best example of why we shouldn’t vote idiots as senators.
