unBayani-like

The problem with this country is that we talk too much and do nothing else. Take the case of those ubiquitous Bayani stickers. They're obviously campaign material for Bayani Fernando (who calls himself the Frontrunner). His MMDA boys talked to bus drivers into putting the damn stickers on their windshields and voila! instant campaigning. Now, if you're a bus driver, you would rather stick them on your windshield than get hassled for every traffic violation imaginable. And then I see the Frontrunner on TV a couple of nights ago saying there's nothing wrong with having those stickers all over Edsa. Goodness, and he really thinks people will vote for him.

The Frontrunner used to be an interesting study. His common sense approach to otherwise simple problems were, at the start, quite refreshing. But that's the problem with politicians -- sooner or later their stink permeates everything else. So much for a good thing. The problem began when Frontrunner felt he had to keep himself relevant. And so started this nonsense about a run in 2010. I can understand how some sycophants can dish out pambobola, at least you can smell them a mile away. But to actually believe the crap that you're the right guy, the only guy, for the job is really an indication of mental failing.

So now I hear that the LTFRB wants to "discuss" the issue of the Bayani stickers as if to hint that Frontrunner might actually have his way and keep those stickers glued after all. Close your eyes, just might be a bad dream.
