Wow. A month after we found out that cash were given to congressmen at the Fortress, now comes someone who is pointed as the one who distributed the cash. And that someone claims that the money came from their party, KAMPUPOT, este, KAMPI. Wow.

Can you believe that? I don’t.

1. Why only now? Abante and Villarosa should have made that admission on the day the issue was forced out. The timing reeks of planning. After all, after Panlilio and Mendoza exposed the cash gifts to governors, the supposed source of funds admitted giving cash two weeks after the fact. And since there was no visible and audible outrage, the people has given the politicians a clear signal – rob us more, fool us more. So admitting now is just OK, right?
2. Why give money to non-party mates? You take care of your own, right? Poor Angelica Jones. (Background: the showbiz actress ran for the position of provincial board member under KAMPI. She lost, and blamed the party for not supporting her.)
3. Where did KAMPI get all that money? Mike Arroyo? Iggy Arroyo? Jose Pidal? Wow, I had no idea KAMPI is this rich. Maybe I should join the party, no? Most probably I’d get the laptop that I am eyeing. Hmm.
4. Ronaldo Puno once claimed that the money did not come from them, instead pointed to Lakas’ Jose de Venecia.

One caveat: Remember Crispin Beltran’s claim that one Francis Ver, former KAMPI henchman, tried to bribe him to endorse Pundido, este Pulido’s not-so-pulido complaint? Maybe there’s truth in that accusation, after all. See? Lying will not help you; indeed, a good liar must keep up with his lies, otherwise his crimes will be exposed.

And yet the people are content watching Pinoy Big Brother and Zaido. Oh well. Kudos to ABS-CBN and GMA7 for such a wonderful job of insulating us from mundane idiocy called GOVERNANCE.

You know, if I were a senator, I will get my Php200 million pork barrel and allocate one million for each Filipino. And with around 80 million Filipinos, I will still have a surplus; I will invest that so that for every Filipino born after such distribution, they will get a million, too. Now, ain’t that cool?

Or maybe a laptop for every Filipino, plus a 3G phone.
