In the midst of the ZTE scandal and the Spratley's Issue, who will pay attention to him? A few have, indeed, like Mon Tulfo in his column, and quite a few blogs by Filipinos, in varying levels of disgust. Just don't let the BF4P brigade see those blogs (as they have seen mine). Expect a lot of hate spam when they do.

"Note the words printed at the bottom of the tarp: “Mere possession of this sign is punishable by law”." - if one of these signs got lost, expect them to be in someone's room, alongside katrina halili tanduay posters. he’s not even president yet his face is splashed all over edsa.

BF is trying his darned best to put order into Metro Manila, and I wish he succeeds, but it is impossible. He's got a full arsenal of ideas like Wile E. Coyote. Ever seen that sign "Bawal tumawid, nakamamatay"? I can't help but laugh to myself whenever I see that sign. For greater intimidating effect maybe they should add: "ang sinomang tatawid ay tatadtarin ng bala hanggang mamatay." How about the sign "bawal ang tao dito"? I'm almost tempted to put in a graffiti that says "kalabaw lang ang pwede". On a pedestrian overpass in Pasig is written this sort of battle-cry:(I don't know if it is from MMDA or from the Pasig government) "Sige pa, Pasig, sige pa. Sige pa!" While driving to Tiendesitas ,my horny bastard friend Val insisted they should add "ohhhh sige pahhh.....ohhhh....phassiig". Which is almost appropriate, considering that Pasig is known for its motels. Totally. BF is trying his darned best to put order into Metro Manila, and I wish he succeeds, but it is impossible.

Thus, the Philippines has got the billing.
