Media-mad?

The turn of events after the recent media flops of presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda and DepEd Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro just saved me from days of self-induced boredom. 

Before, reporters worry how to deal with snobbish personalities; now these public figures have to worry with the persistent journalists. Fresh off from the seminar on proper dealing with the media, Lacierda and members of President Aquino’s Cabinet appear jolly and overly-accommodating to media men. Now I wonder whether that seminar is actually an acting workshop. Whew! Baka sweet-sweetan lang yan! 

To deflect the issue, Lacierda and Luistro should have filed a motion asking the court to allow the Ampatuans to attend that seminar. In the next press briefing, sabihin nila sa media: “Kung kami nambabara, yung mga Ampatuan nambubura. Who do you prefer?” Oh, di ba astig!
