When Wishes Come True

Chinese journalist plants Chinese flag on disputed Scarborough

I am speechless, tongue-tied, awed. PeNoy must be an effing lucky person. Now, I can see PeNoy's wishes coming true, one by one.

Months of PeNoy's provocations on China are now paying off.  Remember how this quarrelsome lunatic boasted in his SONA how he will defend the Philippines' outlying islands and islets against China?  Remember how he used regional and international assemblies to take cheap shots at China?

Tanda niyo pa ba when he said in the interview that China hasn't been exactly a good big brother to the Philippines?  This of course, is farthest from the truth.  Official trade figures will show that China and Hongkong combined are the biggest buyers of Philippine goods.  In 2010, Philippine exports to China and Hongkong accounted for 19.54% of the total.  Last year, Philippines exported 20.40% of its goods to China and Hongkong.

Wish No. 1 granted!

At ngayong may maritime standoff sa Scarborough Shoal, nasaan si PeNoy?  Many find the image of a daring Chinese journalist planting the Chinese flag on one of the disputed islands.  Now, eto na ang chance ni PeNoy to give substance to his empty and shallow provocations, to translate into action what he's been proclaiming since he took power.  Ano na?  Lulunukin na lang ba niya kasama ng pagkarami-rami niyang laway ang mga sinabi at pamimikon na ginawa niya?  Wish ko lang mabulunan siya at tuluyan nang matigok!  hihihi

After Uncle Sam made a categorical statement that the Philippines can not invoke the Mutual Defense Treaty of 1955, after his words for a united ASEAN against China fell on dead ears, I am sure, nagsisisi na si PeNoy for wishing a fight with China.

Sa totoo lang, on its own, walang binatbat ang Pilipinas sa China.  Chinese media are talking about silencing Philippines with loud cannon strikes.  In reality, kayang gupuin ng China ang Pilipinas even without firing a shot.

See what the recent travel ban will do to our tourism industry.

Tingnan niyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa ating agriculture sector ngayong maghihigpit na ang China sa kalidad ng mga produces na papasok sa kanila.

And I won't be surprise if the not so autonomous Hongkong SAR will follow suit and impose restrictions sa pagpasok ng mga Pinoy OFW sa teritoryo nito.

Di kaya sumapit na din ang takip-silim sa mga Filipino companies na nasa China, gaya ng Liwayway Foods?

Let us see how this will be handled by PeNoy and his allies composed of the anti-China leftists, ultra-nationalist yellow media and oligarchs.

Another wish of PeNoy's that was granted ay yung deklarasyon ni CJ Corona na sya ay willing to take the witness stand.

Bago pa man magsimula ang impeachment, malakas na ang panawagan ni PeNoy at mga kaalyado nito for CJ Corona to take the witness stand.  But of course, we all know that this call is half-hearted and half-meant.

The impeachment case filed aganst Corona wasn't meant to endure a full-blown trial.  It was meant to embarrass the chief justice and force him to resign, like what they did to Ombudsman Mercy Gutierrez.  But much to their surprise, Corona stood his ground, formed a formidable defense panel, fight back.  PeNoy and cohorts were even surprised when they saw a snowballing support for the embattled Corona.

At ngayon, eto na ang bluff nila - kung walang tinatago si Corona, he should take the witness stand.  The call was intended to put Corona in a bad light, to make him appear that he is hiding something.  Ang di nila naisip ay yung ite-take ni Corona ang bluff nila.

Kaya when Corona announced that he is prepared to take the stand, nangagkaripas ang mga hunghang.  Andyan ang lampang si Riza Hontiveros na nagde-deny na may sinabi siyang $10 million dollar account ni Corona.  Todo tanggi din si Walden Bello na may alam siya, bagaman isa siya sa mga nag-file ng complaint sa Ombudsman.  At ito palang Ombudsman natin ay isa ring tsismosa na kahit balita lang ay gagawin nang prima facie evidence para imbestigahan si CJ Corona.  Diyata't marami nang relatives si Pontio Pilato dito sa Pilipinas.  Kalokah!  hihihi

And as expected, si PeNoy, nganga na naman.

Ang moral of the stories?  Be careful sa pag-wish - you might just get it.
