MR.Frozen’s ratings are high no more now that Sen. Grace Poe has overtaken him in the race towards Malacanang.
In the TV game show “Family Feud,” its host’s favorite line is, “The survey says...” And the most recent surveys say Poe is No. 1. I don’t know if Mr. Frozen’s not-so-high ratings will result in a feud within his family but I gotta feeling if ever Poe will decide to run for president, there will be a feud between his and her families. Kind of like the feud between the yellow and violet political parties in Cagayan de Oro.To give you an idea of how deprived CDO is when it comes to qualified candidates, both the yellows and violets are sometimes courting the same names who of course end up not joining both to avoid being accused of, hmmm, favoritism?
Meanwhile, there are Cagayanons who believe they have the potential to become politicians, if only one of the city’s political colors would notice that potential. Unfortunately, these Cagayanons’ histories show losses in some elections, thus, banishing that potential to Deneb which happens to be the farthest visible star with a distance of 1550 light years from Earth. But since we call our showbiz celebrities as the Superstar, or the Star for All Seasons, Mega Star, Diamond Star, being banished to Deneb can’t be that bad.
PNoy said he will reveal his presidentiable after his State of the Nation Address. Is that some kind of a threat? Hehe. But will it be Aida, Lorna, Fe? Tito, Vic, Joey? Alvin, Simon, Theodore? Tom, Dick, Harry? Curly, Larry, Moe?
Or will it be the good, the bad, the ugly? No matter what trio PNoy will pick from, his presidentiable’s winnability is presumed to be way above that of the one whose victory may depend on another trio: guns, goons and gold.
Some Pinoys must be wishing that Donald Trump, who has declared his candidacy for the US’s 2016 presidential election, is running here instead. Better The Donald than The Frozen. Better The Donald than the potential that’s been banished to the farthest star. Better The Donald than the lame duck.
But his presidential ambition has been met with some unsavory comments, with one even coming from Cher: “Donald Trump can’t come up with a hairstyle that looks human, how can he come up with a plan to defeat Isis?” Uh.The hair. Aren’t we all struggling in making hair behave? For some hair, waxing is the answer. For the hair on the head, all those styles, colors and spas can be complicated. But misbehaving hair is still less complicated than the misbehaving politician.
It’s too early to predict the result of the 2016 election. As Ellie Goulding’s song goes, “Anything could happen.” In other words, it’s the hair, and not the plataporma.
