Playing with Fire
Grace Poe’s ‘calvary’ has just begun
By Gonzalo Duque
OUR buddy Bryan Kua, Mayor Belen Fernandez’s teammate, has just tasted the below-the-belt menu of dirty politics.
He was last seen on FB and national TV distributing cold cash to supposed voters! And at the prestigious GMA 7 at that!
Has this media monolith deteriorated from its pedestal and prestige and respectability?
Because the footage was played nationwide – naging celebrity si Bryan!
It’s obvious the motive is politics. Medyo mali ata ang strategy ng kalaban – pinapasikat si Bryan!
Nandiyan lang naman si Kapitan Kua. Iyong Katunggali hindi nakikita sa Dagupan. Laging sinasabi nasa biec na taew or in Manila or abroad being the vice president of the World JCI.
If you ask us, Bryan Kua (it sounds Tua!) is just around. Madaling kontakin, always available, ikanga – very approachable.
Iyan ang kandidato, mga abay!

It’s too early and misleading to say that the Supreme Court decision on Grace Poe’s disqualification case boosted her chances in the presidential race.
Far from it!
Our take on the event is that Grace Poe will now come down from her royal throne – as the sweet, innocent-looking daughter of FPJ – to face the tough issues bravely.
There are those who call her a liar on sensitive matters such as her residency question, and yes, citizenship.
Lying, according to the Bible, is no different from stealing, a violation of one of the Ten Commandments.
She will now be confronted on her holding of two Social Security System (SSS) numbers. There’s a paper trail on this. She can’t just dismiss it as pure politics.
She is obligated by law to justify why she was using the SSS number of a dead person.
Lately, as you must have read in the papers or seen on TV, she is now a staunch defender of Danding Cojuangco on the questionable Coco fund misuse.
Joey Faustino, executive director of the Coconut Industry Reform Movement, denounced Poe and Chiz Escudero, for saying that Danding has no more obligations under the Levy scheme.
Is it because Danding endorsed Poe’s presidential bid?
Ano ito, amor con amor cipaga?
What about the public interest? More than 3.5 million farmers and farm workers are affected by this deprivation of our poor people.
It’s unthinkable that the daughter of the people’s idol FPJ, is now a defender of the tycoon.
Nakakahiya!

Know what? Rumors are rife that P-noy is just playing games with Grace Poe due to his fear of being placed behind bars if it’s not his choice who gets elected president.
The logic is that since Mar Roxas is not improving in the surveys, P-noy is courting Grace who is negotiable – and more popular.
But let us warn Poe’s handlers.
P-noy is just doing psy-war.
Actually, his bet is Mar, and he, P-noy, will see to it that he wins so there’d be no imprisonment after the polls.
Aha! Nabuking din natin si P-noy ha?
May nagsabi, mahiya naman si P-noy kay Mar who made him (the son of former president Cory Aquino) president.
Grace is brilliant?
Ok na tayo diyan. But how prepared and ready is she to do the herculean job of a president.
It’s a big lie to say that she will do well as president…. kasi nga liar and opportunist.
