Times are tough everywhere.
First, a high-end watch store gets robbed in Makati in broad daylight, and just today, a truck carrying about 25 tons of copra was hijacked. Who the hell would want to steal copra?
RP’s Mightiest (Political) Heroes
Makati City mayor Jejomar Binay is jumping on the hero bandwagon. Not only does he wear Cory yellow in this campaign comic book, he’s an actual comic book hero with a power fist and everything.
Sweet Christmas!
And why not? If Sen. Escudero can save the country with magic spells, then Jojo Binay as Luke Cage, Power Man makes absolute sense.
For Your Reference
Further in the dumbing down of the Filipino electorate and treating them like teenagers, expect Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, Jr. to come out as some sort of Captain America clone. Sgt.Filipinas, maybe. Or Major Republic. Or, more aptly, Captain I-love-America.
Former President Joseph Estrada is Tony Stark, obviously. He’s rich, has a mustache, is a lady’s man, and likes to drink. His running for the presidency under a pro-poor, anti-corruption plaform after being ousted in 2001 for corruption also provides us with our 100% RDA of iron.
Sen. Benigno Aquino III can be Batman. At least in the sense that his life is haunted by the legacy of his dead parents. Sen. Richard Gordon can be his Harvey Dent.
As the popular facebook avatar picture states, where I come from, everyone is a hero.

Francis Escudero, Sorcerer Supreme
Forget Chief Justice Reynato Puno’s Moral Force Movement. What we need, this ad for Sen. Francis Escudero tells us, is magic.
No good deed…
Just so you know who to thank:
Take a bow, Philippines
Saturday’s floods may have caught us with our pants down, but if the massive outpouring of support for the victims is any indication, we’re still in good shape as a nation.
Rep. Magsaysay has never heard of phones
Zambales Rep. Milagros Magsaysay (Lakas-Kampi) says that Cebu Rep. Antonio Cuenco (Lakas-Kampi) could not have conducted an informal survey of their colleagues where he says around half preferred Sen. Benigno Aquino III over other presidential aspirants. After all, she says, there are never enough congressmen around.
RFID chip will give LTO your location, money
The Land Transportation Office-Stradcom conglomerate wants us to pay P350 for a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that will “enhance the agency’s services from registration process to traffic management and even prevention of carnapping.”
