Unchained melody, mitosis, and Cinderella
ALL
of a sudden, we hear a cacophony of sounds over “chain of command.” ExPNP chief Alan Purisima said with a straight face that it applies only to the military, not to civilian PNP.
Malacañang spokesman Edwin Lacierda is right when he said (fingers crossed behind back) that the President can give orders all the way down to any government official.
Presidential Communications Operations Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. explained that the President acknowledged personal responsibility in his February 6 message televised nationwide, but he is unlikely to apologize for Mamapasano.
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry” — 1970 film “Love Story” starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal.
Which is why PNoy has to extricate himself, “Why should I be blamed?” (“Niloko nya ako”), washing his hands off the incident and heaping blame on the head of SAF, Director Getulio Napeñas.
Nobody’s listening to former Malacanang spokesman Kit Tatad who wrote that the chain of command is from top-down. (Not bottom-up).
The President says that those who bite at his ankle (uncle?) and tell him to step down are “KSP.”
Does that sound more like a Presidential Sister talking, than a President?
If driving without license is an offense, what can we say about a suspended PNP chief who takes command over a cloak-and-dagger mission which goes awry?
Jun Urbano aka Mr Shooli said that restaurants do not allow exPNP Chief Alan Purisima in because he doesn’t order — he only gives advice.
MILF briefed on House changes on BBL — News item.
That’s better than MILF telling DOJ Justice Secretary Leila Del Lima to get her copy of the MILF report from Malaysia.
But Malacañang assures us that Murad and Iqbal are Filipinos, not Malaysians?
Palace to exhaust all efforts to save Pinay on death row — News item.
PNoy may have interceded for May Jane Fiesta Veloso, who faces the death penalty for drug trafficking, during the recent state visit of Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
Unless he leaves it to his VP Jejomar Binay to plead her case?
GOOD NEWS. PNP nabbed Marwan coddler Mohammad Ali Tambako, head of the newly formed Justice for Islamic Movement (JIM), with five of his cohorts en route to catch a boat in GenSan. Tambako’s curriculum vitae reads: member of the MNLF before joining the MILF… later splintering to the BIFF… and momentarily forming the JIM.
Mitosis is the amazing cell process that uses division to multiply. Chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus… the mother cell divides into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell. The process of mitosis is fast and highly complex.
That’s biology in a nutshell. In realpolitik power game in Moroland, they just call it splinter group.
Just before midnight, Janicel Lubina was crowned Miss Bb. PilipinasInternational at the Smart Araneta coliseum. Janicel is 19 years old and her virtual reality measures 34-21-34. She also won the “Best in Long Gown” and “Best in Swimsuit” awards. She is a pageant veteran, winning 2013 first-runner up to Megan Lynne Young in the Miss World Philippines contest.
This is the stuff that dreams are made of: Janicel won the hearts of many when they learned that as a young 6th grader, she worked as a housemaid in Palawan with her mother. (Her mother is still a housemaid, serving her employer for more than 20 years now.)
The male version of our Cinderella is Manny Pacquiao, who is proud of the hard- knocks past of his mother, Dionesia Dapidran Pacquiao, who raised him alone. In return, he indulges her every whim to this day.
SPORTS. Irish Catholic priest Father Pierre “Jalapeno’’ Pepper, 37, donned boxing gloves for the first time for his parish’s fundraising “Saint Patrick’s Weekend Punch- Up’’. Fr. Pepper has a glass jaw, but he won the three-rounds blockbuster match…because he didn’t turn the other cheek.
