Truth Commission

Former Chief Justice Jun Davide has been named by President P-Noy as head of Truth Commission. Tough job. But Jun Davide can hack it. Never mind what they say ... that truth is stranger than fiction.

Let’s hope and pray that Jun Davide will succeed as Truth Commission head. If he does, his Commission will set us free, yes?

It’s not easy to find the truth. Some are even making fun of it. Like George Bernard Shaw who said his way of joking is to tell the truth. “It’s the funniest joke in the world,” he says.

President P-Noy smokes but he doesn’t drink liquor. Comments a taxi driver: “Hinigarilyo apan dili palahubog.”

William Shakespeare said that wine steals the drinker’s brain. So P-Noy’s brain is intact.

Noynoy says he is not interferring in the marital scandals of his flamboyant sister Kris because they don’t affect the affairs of the state.

“But I’m sure,” says one neutral observer, “they’re giving his family a blackeye in social circles.”

A food product that’s already a day away from its expiration date should already be removed from the shelves. A mediaman bought three boxes of balled “masi” for pasalubong and found out too late that the product was to expired 24 hours later.

Saranggani Rep. Manny Pacquiao took a 10-day course on governance and legislation before he took his oath as member of Congress. Proof that Pacman is really more serious about his congressional work than his much-talked-about fight with Mayweather. Don’t raise your eyebrows if he gets to be a legislator Sarangani can be proud of.

It says here that a governor (not here) has dismissed a casual truck driver who was always late in reporting for work. The governor must have adopted the saying: “Better never than late.”

I’ll tackle the e-mails I have received in recent days in my next outing. Meanwhile, thanks to all who e-mailed.
