Caught a debate last night about the upcoming election… better yet, the upcoming President of the Philippines come May elections. As expected, it was a heated debate of who’s who on the arena, behind e
top contenders for the top post of the land
very San Miguel Light and San Miguel Pale Pilsen is a contender on each ones Presidential bet. Nobody, nobody caught my attention (with the same old run story from same sorties) except for those around the beer table which would rather gulp their share of ice cold beer than waste the cooling sensation of it with the waste of talk. Was it really a waste of talk to talk about the coming Presidential Election?
What can one contribute to the victory of democracy, development, national pride, etc. with a vote that you can never tell if it will really count?
Not only cheating will make that single vote useless or worth a cent if the winner would be anyone from the slate, not even Noy-Noy is a clear promise of a better tomorrow. He still belongs to a clan of corrupt strongholds which he can never do without. Even if Winnie Monsod (Mare) believes that he is the cleaner bet is no guarantee that he will make a difference.
Going back to the ice cold bottle of beer that provides us a soothing feeling that is almost heaven in this El Niño environment, who among the May 11 Don Quixotes would the ordinary Pinoy bet his/her future on? Don Quixote is the best bet among the copy cuts, who has nothing but promises still. I bet the other crowd around the debating beermen are just too desensitized by the story of Don Quixote that they would rather drink their ice cold beer that let the refreshing chance go to waste.
