Once there was a news report that said…

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) First Division has disqualified actor Richard Gomez from running for Congress in Ormoc, Leyte…

I actually felt happy for the people of Ormoc, Leyte for a black cloud looming over their future has been removed. But, just like in telenovelas, it’s not over until the ratings say so. In their case, however, it’s the lawyer.

“Para sa mga mamamayan ng Ormoc, hindi pa ito final, temporary setback lang ito kay Richard Gomez. Ipaglalaban ni Richard Gomez ang karapatan ng lahat ng mamamayan ng Ormoc, tuloy-tuloy ang laban ni Richard Gomez.”

Oh no! He just won’t quit? Oh well. It’s up to the people of Ormoc to decide. Just remember people, you’ll be sending him to represent you. Won’t you rather watch him behind a podium in Family Feud than a podium in Congress (if he’ll ever attend sessions and interpolate)?

Brown Rice

In an effort to turn towards healthier living, I will be trying brown rice. I had one cup tonight at Icebergs, and contrary to what I’ve been hearing about it, it’s not as bad. Perhaps because there put raisins and they used chicken soup stock. I’ve been surfing for tips and how-to’s on how to cook it. Hopefully, my first go at it will be successful.

“In spirit and in substance, what I have done for my district cannot be denied,”

– Jules Ledesma on being the No. 1 absentee in HoR

 

I’m somehow confused. Isn’t it this guy’s job to represent his district in matters relating to promulgation of laws that will govern the country? It is for the Local Government officials to handle matters relative to the development of his district. If he intended to work in his district in the first place, he should have vied for the mayoralty or gubernatorial post in Negros. Oh well, aren’t they all like him? Maybe he just happens to be the most thick-skinned of them all.
