Agreeing with Idiotbox about Piolo Pascual's bad commercial

I want to write a post entry criticizing Piolo Pascual "Speed Babad" detergent commercial but upon browsing I have read a post from Idiotbox who is also scratching his head and giving a negative reaction to the said commercial.

All of Idiotbox points are positively true and I agree with him. From a hunk Piolo to a misleading laundry man.

Some points that I think I must include:

1. I'm not sure if its all about the money but the sure thing is, his not thinking the word "credibility" that he is indeed using the said product.

2. Speed management only proves that they have big budget and can afford the services of Piolo Pascual.

3. The product gained more publicity but it creates a doubtful effect for the endorser.

4. Image is everything in the entertainment industry, you cannot blame people if your image is being judge.

Frustrated in Jocelyn "JocJoc" Bolante testimony in the Fertilizer Fund Scam

Watching the live television coverage of the Senate Hearing for the Fertilizer Fund Scam featuring the architect of the said fiasco Jocelyn "JocJoc" Bolante, I was blown away on some revelation and it seems he is prepared to go on battle.

I feels the frustration of the Senators on their failure to pressure JocJoc Bolante in telling the truth. Bolante's testimony is just a roller coaster ride.

This are some points that I noticed:

Point 1: JocJoc Bolante seems Ok and his treatment in St. Luke's Hospital is just a delaying tactics to prepare his script of lies. Bolante did not show any sign of exhaustion even though he was grilled for more than 10 hours by the senators.

Point 2: He is a Presidential appointee. The funny things is he doesn't know who endorses him. Again he lie, the President will never put a person to a position if he/she is not an ally.

Point 3: It is shocking that Bolante has power to release and distribute P728 million to 159 local government officials. Surely, the money landed on the hands to the people close to the administration. It is incredible that an undersecretary would be able to have such a huge amount released on his own.

Point 4: Another shocking moment is when didn't know any official that supports the President.

Point 5: His mission on said hearing is to save the President. He said, "President Arroyo was not involved in this particular project of the Department of Agriculture."

Bolante prefer to take the full responsibility on the Fertilizer fund mess.

Point 6: Bolante shows that he can lie and handle the raining accusations of the Senators.

Point 7: He is really poise under pressure. This means he is a Professional lying machine.

---

The Senator must think another strategy, get more witness and evidence to pressure Bolante to tell the truth.

Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante pipilitin maging Singer pag-uwi

Uy...Uy! Si pareng Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante uuwi na raw next week matapos mapiste sa tate. Sabi ng mga nakadikit sa kanya, marami nagkakainteres para siya maging singer. Singer? Oo singer, para ikanta na nya kung saan napunta yung pera ng bayan ng kinurakot niya sa pamamagitan ng Fertilizer Fund (Scam) at para mapiga sya ng mga oposisyon kung sino ang mga nakinabang ng pera na yan.

Di ba nga sabi nila napunta ang pera sa kampanya ni Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo noong 2004. Nag pahiwatig din ang kampo ni pareng Joc-Joc na kinakabahan daw sa kanyang pag-uwi.

Kakabahan? Wala namang nakakasuhan at nakukulong basta may kaugnayan ka kay Madam. Lahat ng kasong ng katiwalian na nakadikit sa unang pamilya ay sadyang binabasura at pinagtatakpan. Kawawa talaga ang bayan.........

Magandang isyu rin ito para sa mga politikong hahabol bilang Presidente sa 2010. Sana maging tuloy-tuloy ito at hindi lang pampapogi. Sana din makunsensya naman ang mga taong may kaugnayan sa kontrobersiyang ito.
