Loren Legarda: Ang Bayan Ko

Posted on January 25, 2010 by posh| Leave a comment

I have always admired Loren Legarda, the former Mrs. Leviste. She is one tough woman, strong-willed and principled. She is a fighter.

Then the years came and went. Honestly, this may sound hitting below the belt, but I could no longer stomach Loren Legarda on TV. She now comes to me as a person without principle bur rather an ambitious politician. She may probably have good intentions for our country, but her methods are questionable. She looks really plastic in her TV commercial and of all the songs that she could us, her TV ad is accompanied by the song “Ang Bayan Ko”.

I get goosebumps hearing the song when sung with Legarda’s commercial. For me, Ang Bayan Ko is the song of patriots, not of politically ambitious individuals who think nothing of the country but personal gain. In this commercial, Legarda appears as really plastic or a hypocrite.

I am sorry about this really strong opinion, but I just feel that using the song is sacrilege if not meant from the heart. And I could not see and feel that in Ms. Legarda.

Bong Revilla in the Senate

Posted on May 22, 2009 by posh| 1 Comment


I dunno what Sen. Bong Revilla is up to (most of the country’s officials always have something up their sleeve when they create noise), but he seems to be trying fight for the rights of Filipino women these days.

Is this for real?

He has been hitting on Dr. Hayden Kho and the doctor’s exploits on cam as well as Alec Baldwin and his rather distasteful comment about the Filipino people. He has been so passionate in delivering his speeches in the Senate.

But as I recall, Mr. Revilla has also been involved in a string of relationships with other women and his wife also had difficulty taking the situation. I believe if it were not for his wife’s loyalty and zeal to keep the family together, they have long gone their separate ways.

I know, somebody has to defend Filipinas, but I guess, Mr. Revilla is not the right person to do it.
