NEWSBREAK: It was learned that P’Noy had fixed dates to visit Vietnam and Indonesia but Foreign Secretary Alberto Romulo counseled that ASEAN would give understanding to his attending to pressing domestic affairs.
As a playboy diplomat said, one can’t foray on foreign affairs without first putting domestic affairs in order.
Malaca?ang should best leave to DFA experts amplification of decisions with international repercussions.
?We have to make sure that we can really work with each other,? said President Benigno Aquino III on why he keeps Jesse Robredo only as Acting DILG Secretary.
Sayang. The President?s candor and transparency loses the ?sacrifice? value of letting a senior cabinet go.
FEU Tamaraws and Ateneo Blue Eagles contest first place in 73rd UAAP hoopla tomorrow. More important for Consul General Jorge Araneta is that Ateneo, with twice-to-beat advantage, plays La Salle?preferably twice. What is good for Araneta Dome is good for the economy.
FEARLESS FORECAST. Ambassador Joe Zaldarriaga bets his money on the Pacquiao-Mayweather blockbuster match happening? after Honorable Manny Pacquiao is mired in congressional work.
Floyd Mayweather knows that in Congress our prizefighter will be overwhelmed and overfed with privilege speeches, dinners, drinks, and pork barrel.
Ambassador Juan Jarasa chirped in, ?Those whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad with power??
So Manny Pacquiao wants to keep to his fighting weight by jogging and training in Batasan grounds; but Speaker Sonny Belmonte doesn?t approve.
Wait a minute, is Sonny secretly betting on Mayweather?
The best thing that could happen for Batasan members is to jog with Manny. We would have the fittest, fightingest legislators.
Manny Pacquiao chose to focus on his coming fight with Antonio Margarito, and dismissed a derogatory online video posted by Floyd Mayweather Jr. as an ?uneducated message.?
He will send Mayweather copy of his maiden speech at Batasan?provided the latter can read.
The bad-mouthing by Floyd Mayweather Jr. was all to hype the dream match?as well as to psyche and get the goat of Manny.
Mayweather doesn?t know that in Batasan Manny would have plenty of practice on verbal sparring and language abuse?and yet congressmen end up kumpadres at weddings and baptisms.
When Mayweather realized he went overboard with racist slurs, he backtracked with internet interview that he was oozing with love for Muslims, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, whites.
He left out mention of the Flip-side??Flips? is how Pinoys are called in the Land of the Free.
?A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!? ? King Richard.
Prince Harry injured a polo pony in an overly exuberant application of his riding spurs. The young prince continued to ride the horse in competition in spite of the blood from the horse’s wound.
Polo rules state: ?Any player intentionally striking another player or any pony with his stick, or abusing his pony by excessive use of the whip or spurs shall be severely penalized?Any spur likely to wound a horse is forbidden.”
The incident isn’t Prince Harry’s first polo-related controversy. Earlier this year, his favorite horse ?Drizzle” collapsed and died of a heart attack shortly after the prince dismounted.
Drizzle’s death caused groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to condemn polo as “very grueling for the ponies.” Henceforth Harry may have Polo only on his Ralph Lauren shirts. Feedback: [email protected]
