NOT the next Mayor of MANILA!!!

WHO'S HE?!?!?

WHO THE HELL IS HE???!?!?!


Ali Atienza,
that's who!

Chairman of some imaginary never heard Commission
of the City of Manila,
and Presidential Adviser on something or the other,
and most importantly,
the sartorially similar offspring of outgoing Mayor Lito.





btw, who gave his father,
the last-term Mayor of ManiLA who seems to
have caught a fatal case of GMA-itis,
the right to close down both lanes of Roxas Boulevard
for 4 (!) hours yesterday afternoon,
causing massive traffic gridlock,
just to give a so-called "State of the City" address
cum Proclamation Rally for this wannabe nobody???




and do the Atienzas really have to trot out Manny Pacquiao
like their favorite family bobblehead doll
everytime they have a "State of Nepotism" rally???
(their official motorcade driver,
btw, is Congressman Miles Roces,
Mayor Lito's son-in-law)





and just because Kuya Kim decided to transform
himself into a weird ABS-CBN amalgam of
Steve Irwin & Amado Pineda,
this other son of the mayor is suddenly qualified
to lead the City of Manila?
(at least Kim was the Councilor with questionable taste
who lit up Malate with those funky lampposts...)




Once again, the sun in setting,
literally and figuratively,
on my beloved city.

Sad,
so sad....




p.s.
Danny Lacuna,
who's been Vice Mayor on and off since 1986,
(he deserves a slot in the 2nd Banana Hall of Fame)
is using "HINOG na HINOG na si LACUNA"
as his Mayoralty campaign slogan.

He's gone way past HINOG, folks.
Anak ng Potassium naman!!!


And speaking of bananas...

Lacuna's more like a mushy banana turning brown
with fruit flies hovering over it.

What's the Pilipino word for overripe again?



p.p.s
since we're on the topic of panis/bulok,
the Atienzas are seriously considering
a scion of former Manila Mayor
and Legendary Imelda Parasol Holder
Ramon Bagatsing as Ali's running mate.
