(Third of three parts)
It’s been more than a week since President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo gave her State of the Nation Address (SONA), but here I am still at it – delivering my SONTA or State of National Television Assessment. But I am already in my final stretch and here is finally the concluding part of my assessment of national television today.

Obviously a caveat from a hate camp, which condemned her for so many easy, available reasons that to argue with them would be pointless. I myself was then a trifle annoyed at her - her gnarled tongue that cannot elicit a decent Tagalog phrase, her insufferable squeamishness that ruins the little girl in her, her apparent pinball-ing from one boy-next-door to the next, which, um, ruins many chances of doing the same with these boys. Caution taken, I went to meet her for an interview. And they were right. She could vacuum you.

Only it's not her mouth that does it. The derision can just stop there. It is she herself that sucks you in, like an impish vortex that plunges you, whips you and then gives you an Is-she your-sister-is-she-your-daughter slap from Chinatown. Then it happened to me: that moment when celebrities peel their camera layer and reveal their true beautiful self, like a plumed serpent ready for a new close-up, a fresh dialogue and a new audience.

Often stars look the same. They have that waxwork eeriness that's as eternal as sunshine and as spotless as an empty mind.
