I would say in advance that this post has nothing to do with the defunct youth-oriented variety TV show with that title, that was hosted by the late German Moreno, aired in the 80’s – 90’s.
But that’s entertainment!
No, not that show. I was pertaining to the current best entertainment in the Philippines.
Who could guess that this will be more fun that any TV show, tele-serye, or even kalye-serye? I can say that we Filipinos can only provide this level of showmanship.
There’s drama, action, and fiction – all rolled into one. Maybe next time they will add some musical as well. Oh I forgot, there’s already that. Remember, may “kumakanta,” di ba?
But before you surf crazy the entire TV channels searching for it, or go into expedition to the movie theaters or broadways, I was just alluding to the Philippine senate proceedings.
Best entertainment ever. And this is “real” life.
Witness: Pinagbabaril na po naming yung lalaki, pero buhay pa.
Senator: Ilan kayong bumaril?
Witness: Marami po kami, nasa 30.
Senator: 30 kayong bumaril, pero buhay pa? Ano nga ulit pangalan ng pinagbabaril ninyo?
Witness: Si Neo po, your honor. (*Matrix movie soundtrack plays in the background*)
Ghost of FPJ interrupts: Pinuno mo na ang salop. Isang bala ka lang!
I’m looking forward for more of this entertainment. Though I think it will become more fascinating, when the House will soon have their own “show.”
As our slogan says, “It’s more fun in the Philippines.”
I would like to end with a Filipino proverb:
Batobato sa langit, tamaan huwag magalit.
Or the new version:
Matobato sa langit, hindi matamaan kaya nagalit.
wala na talaga akong masabi dun. nagkulang sa praktis yung bata nila. hindi nakapagrehearse ng lines niya.
hindi ko nga akalain na may McDo hotel na pala.
pero yang ‘Matrix’ scene talaga yung nagdala e. 😀
