The Ripple Effect, Miriam Santiago, Reading People and Where have all the Cash Gone?

Dear insansapinas.
The Ripple Effect


After Tunisia and Egypt, the people of Yemen and other Arab countries are staging demonstrations
to protest against their governments.



I really have to don my costume as X-Woeman. Padalhan ko kaya ng cyclone? o ng landslide ang mga depu*** na mga mang-aapi ng kapwa. TSEH.


Miriam Santiago and Reading People

The other night, I watched The Good Wife. It is about politics, trial attorneys and the legal system in the US.


The lead attorney was surprised to meet a man who was introduced as jury consultant. Ano ang gawa niya? He reads people particularly the micro-expressions of the jurors in the gallery during the trial . After every hearing , he tells the lawyers the sentiments of the jurors whether they are for the prosecutors or for the defense lawyers. What affected them? What they believed in and what they dismissed as not significant.  By their reactions through their facial expressions like knotting of eyebrows, movement ot non-movement of eyes, the jury consultant advises the lawyers to what kind of questions should be asked and to whom it should be addressed to specifically. He charges 60,000 per hearing. Grabeh. 


After the trial, the accused was found guilty. No refund of the consultancy fees. Hahaha


For people under investigation of the Senate or House of Representatives, this kind of consultant is not needed. The persons of interest are very transparent. Generals or ordinary people are not ashame to shed tears to make their point and earn sympathy (?) Whoa.


Lalo naman si Miriam Santiago,  talagang sinasabi niya ang nafifeel niya.


 As expected, Santiago said a mouthful: “It is contemptuous, a revelation of utmost ignorance. That kind of ignorance can only come from a one-celled amoeba. Wag akong ginaganyan ha.”
Where Have all the Cash Gone?



Sa milyong milyong nakukurakot ng mga heneral, palagay ninyo saan napupunta ang mga pera? Mga suweldo ng mga ordinaryong sundalo, mga taxes natin. 


Marami sa mukha at katawan ng mga asawa, mga kabit, mga girl friends. Botox, liposuction, rhinoplasty at mga wrinkles removal.


Ang iba ay sa mga state-of-the-art gadgets ng kanilang mga anak, kotse, condo at mga tuition fees sa foreign universities.


Nakita ba ninyo yong higaan ng aso ng anak ni General Garcia? Worth 1,000 dollars  yata yon dahil signature item. Whoa. At siyempre nasa Trump Towers ang kaniyang condo.

Mam Cathy,

Nagtataka talaga ako na ang daming pera ng Gobyerno. Akalain mo ang mga perang kinurakot ng AFP? GRABE.

Nuong nasa Dubai pa ako sawa ako sa lifestyle local news (kasi zero crime 'daw' sa Dubai) tapos pag-uwi ko dito sa Pinas, ang mga krimen at kurakot, karahasan ng mga pulis et cetera ay nakabalandra lahat sa dyaryo at news.

Pagbukas mo ng TV si Merceditas, tinatarayan si De Lima after ng hearing. Susko.

Wag naman sana tayo matulad sa Egypt na pati ang mga cultural preserved heritage eh sinira ng mga raliyista.

Dencios,
nakakagulat nga biruin mo milyon, milyon ang mga pinag-uusapan. ang mga kaibigan kong military noon na mga rank lang ay captain, halos di makaugaga sa pagraise ng pamilya samantalang ang mga heneral nila ay mga nakaSUV. Kung hindi carnapped, bili.
