The sinking boat and the national fruit

by reynz on November 22, 2009

balimbing national political fruitTruly! the boat is sinking!

Everyone is jumping at iisa ang pinupuntahan, the LP Party of Noynoy and Mar. Mamya nito we won’t be able to distinguish which one is which. Iisa na ang kulay nila. And the funny thing is that each olympic jumper have their own rabid err valid reasons na lumipat. La! La! La! Kanya kanyang harbat de salbabida yet, they were all silent and riding through all the good times with La Senora de’l Pasig River while everyone of us are in purgatory. Just wer wer these people when we need them to fight for us Pinoys. Pag ako nainis, I will campaign for [blank], besides I like his story and I’ll campaign for [blank], I like his credentials.

Truly, the national fruit is still balimbing!

Sabi nga ni Remonde which I agree, “Balimbingan is not only part of the political culture these days but has always been part of the Filipino political culture. It’s really nothing new and it is really to be expected.” Hmpt! Eh ano pa nga ba! Same same lang yan. And you know what’s interesting? The scientific name of balimbing is called “Averrhoa carambola“! How about that! Hahaha! It not only sounds and rhymes like diaherra, carambola pa talaga sila!

It says: “Fatal outcome after ingestion of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) in uremic patients: The study warns that patients with renal failure who ingest star fruit may develop neurological symptoms. Ayun! Neurotic na talaga mga pulitiko!

Pag balimbing ka nang balimbing, what other principles do you stand for?! Wala! So, do they deserve your vote?!

RENZ:

“I am like the bamboo, resilient,” LOREN says proudly. She believes she has bounced back from her troubles, political and otherwise, and that the public knows she isn’t easily put down.

LOREN: bamboo or a balimbing?

Long live the real Queen!

mga sir/mam, napadaan lang po ako sa site nyo.. gusto ko lang po sana malaman pano po natawag na balimbing si Ms. Loren? hindi naman po nya iniwan ang kanyang party,di po ba?Na-invite po sya para maging guest party list, and sa nakikita ko naman po, ang pagpayag po ni Ms. Loren para maging Bise- Presidente ni Mr.Villar ay may dahilan.. Pumayag po si Ms. Loren dahil, may usapan po na sa bawat proyektong pabahy po ni Mr.Villar may puno na maitatanim.Sana naman po bigyan nyo ng importanstya un bagay na un..Sa atin pong mga Pilipino, kapakanan pa rin po ng Ating bansa ang iniisip ni Madam Loren… Magbasa po kayo at nang mamulat po kayo sa katotohanan.. Marami po sa mga tatakbong pulitiko ngayon puro po magandang commercial ang pinapakita nila, subalit hinde po tayo uunlad sa mga commercial lamang,at lalong hinde po aasenso ang ating bansa kung wala naman po sila mga adhikain at mga magagndang plataporma… Nais ko lang po i-share sa nyo ang aking nabsa sa isang kolum.. naway maging inspirasyon po sa atin tong lahat.. salamat po..

Hey LORen Legarda is not Balimbing!! I think she just made the right decision to join Manny Villar, they are likely have the same platform. Other candidates don’t have a straight platform, they can only give us their “dream In our country” but they can’t even give us their platform on how they can change our country… Let us not judge, judging someone wont bring something goood in our country,instead let’s look what had that person done in our country…Loren Legarda is known in her advocacy for Climate Change, she also have a foundation,several bills had passed. It is just proven that she’s worth to be elected as Vice President

That’s right mel, convince everyone to read and to make a research about Miss Loren, INCLUDING YOU, para naman maging aware ka rin….because i believe the coming election is very important to us, so we must use our smart voting para malabanan na natin ang kahirapan ng ating bansa.. Hinde pa ba tayo nadadala sa mga pulitiokong puro lang pangako??? Puro lang papogi para sila iboto, at gumagamit pa ng mga artista? When the truth is, wala SILANG MAGIGING SILBI sa ating bansa…..I just hope every Filipino will enlightened their mind in this kind of matter..
