I’m confused. Is Mike Defensor aspiring for a Senate seat or for a role in a Star Cinema movie? Gauging the TV ads and campaign posters, Mr. Defensor is acting (pun) as if he is an audition.

Instead of presenting his ideas or legislative priorities, he is projecting (pun) himself as someone’s utol (brother). He is confused; he thinks he is running for an executive post.

Then in campaign sorties, he uses the “Ibabahay ko kayo” joke (a double-meaning joke), in allusion to his previous post as housing czar.

He was also a former congressman, representing Quezon City; he was also part of the so-called Spice Boys, those congressmen who made noise during the eve of Estrada’s downfall.

And he also formulated the Defensor Postulate at the height of the Hello Garci scandal. The postulate goes like this:

x=~x

You know, “it’s her voice but she was not the one speaking.”

Brilliant guy. Give him the Best Actor award, please.
