The great thing about being sarcastic 86% of the time is
that I can always flip-flop on any of my statements, with the excuse that I was
being sarcastic.
Still, I was quite right in my prediction that Renato
Corona would be convicted and removed as chief justice. My reason was the fact
that the continuation of Corona’s justiceship would be boring as compared to
the ratings-boosting ‘talent search’ for a new chief justice.
OTHER FACTORS
But the ABS-CBN machine is not the whole story, even as
some very powerful political people run the media company officially and
unofficially (e.g. Kris Aquino, sister of President Noynoy!). There’s the
elections angle, for instance, where anti-Corona/Gloria Malacañang
has the resources for funding candidates. And in general, politicians realize
that the people want to see a scapegoat crucified (imagine the ratings of a literal Corona crucifixion holy shit!), and the people must be appeased.
NO SUCH THING AS THE WILL OF A ‘BAYAN’
Anyway, the hilarious Tito Sotto mentioned that he was
voting according to what he perceived as the people’s wishes. As if ‘The
Filipino People’ were a real, living breathing entity with one opinion! What
crap.
Stop speaking for some collective ‘people,’ you
honorable, honorable men. And you’d want to claim that your vote was ‘not
political’ at all, but who are you kidding? You’re in politics, engaging in
political processes; everything you do,
no matter how noble your sentiments, is political.

AND NOW WE WAIT…
Alright, now that Corona’s been convicted, here are some
things to expect:
- Red tape in the starting and conducting of businesses
will magically decrease, thereby boosting investments and output.
- All ill-gotten money will magically be transferred from
bank accounts of crooks to their rightful owners, e.g. ‘the people.’
- From now on, kickbacks
from government programs will magically disappear, thereby ensuring the ‘proper’
use of taxes.
- All thieves in government will be magically convicted.
- Etc.
Wow! Who would have thought that Noynoy!’s
anti-corruption campaign was genuine!
