BETTER NEVER THAN LATE?

In a democratic society in general, in a court of law of the human race, a word can surely make or break a case. In this country, on the court of basketball, Pinoy’s sports’ craze, a word could make a jaw break with ease.

Such is the case of PBA import Daniel Orton who, after he and his team were beaten to the pulp by Kia, played for and coached by Manny Pacquaio with a master stroke, displayed typical American arrogance during press interview and showed an attitude obviously a freedom-of-speech overdose, by calling Pacquiao the player the PBA’s big joke.

I have this strong gut feeling that immediately after the much awaited record-breaking bout between Manny and Money Mayweather on May Two, the people of the Philippines will be clamoring for a Pacquiao-Orton fight, win or lose over Flamboyant Floyd for the Filipino boxing hero.

Nevertheless, if we take seriously Daniel’s words per se, it seems the nigger has raised a valid point there, man, and I must completely agree. The way I see it as it is how on the court he would move and play, I found Pacquiao wanting in the league and for his 5’6” size he’s no extraordinary.

And to tell you further what I feel honestly, as I throw caution to the wind along with modesty, I assess even I could defend him so well one-on-one like I’m guarding a lamp post only. But let’s face it, the American import may be a persona non grata being a loudmouth who talks like a prating housemaid, but he was just telling the fact, man, like that child who told everyone the Emperor actually had no clothes and thus truly naked.

That’s the problem sometimes with our culture as they often said, because of someone’s status in society we hesitate to call a spade a spade. Like, just because they were then also some of today’s LP’s close friends with benefits, they can’t tell Peping and Norberto Gonzales to shut up as in them no more anyone believes.

Of course, like any other previous prez, P-Noy and his people created a mess, but in sum, its magnitude is merely a tiny fraction of what the previous administration’s gang did even after GMA left. So, let’s just wait for next year because P-Noy definitely will leave, do not listen to the “Resign” cry because since its inception in 1969 it’s the only word memorized by the so-called “Left.”

But I can’t blame the Left because it was their patriotic comrades who sacrificed the most, yet when the tables were turned after the first EDSA revolution they were left out in the cold. No wonder, at the slightest hint of any administration’s blunder and mess, they would always march and howl “Resign” as if it’s the road to happiness.

However, discerning citizens today are apparently unwilling to share that kind of happiness as if there’s someone or something they dread. As if they’re certain of that someone’s avarice and false promise the way a comedian was sure that a man doesn’t know what happiness is until he is married.

By then it’s too late. 

By then it’s too late.
