I GET frustrated with the vote buying practice in the Philippines.
I blame this on the dictator Marcos who flooded the elections with money in his reelection bids.
So, I make it a point to teach voter educators to teach voters that they can double cross their vote buying politicians.
Get the money, and vote Pink.
Important detail: Tell the ignorant and uneducated voters that their votes cannot be traced.
Because that’s exactly the threat given to them by the team leaders who distribute the money.

Incidentally, two of my latest poems in Filipino are about vote buying—
“Paano I-doublecross ang Umiinsulto sa Iyo” and “Hindi Pula ang Kulay ng Pilipinas”.
They are only Poems 8 and 9 in the series that I have started before my European tour.
While in Europe, I also wrote my homoerotic poems.
I have finished 40 of them so far.
Sorry, I’m just more erotic than political.

For those who can afford the Valentino Pink Collection. Why not? Haha!

I’m not sure if that infographic with a Philippine Star logo is real about some senator saying “madaling alagaan ang galunggong.”
But it’s too precious a moment that ThePSN should not react.

The SEAFDEC reference reports of a “first in the world.”
It is about a successful breeding of galunggong in captivity.
Laboratory studies pa lang po.
I confirm: There is no aquaculture of galunggong anywhere in the world.
Walang nag-aalaga ng galunggong. Ay, tanga! (To be continued)/PN
