So what the fuck was that all about?

I was at the office , nursing a cold (currently now a fever) and busy checking possible Japanese school girl costumes for our Christmas party meeting deadlines when Sherwin buzzed me informing me of another Trillanes-led "coup" happening in Makati.

Apparently The Senator Elect and his party of hotel-loving officers walked out of their own trial this morning, went for a "symbolic" little walk in the streets of Makati and holed themselves up cozy in the Peninsula Manila -- all for the ouster of The Small But Terrible President of the Republic, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

While walking the strangely deserted streets of Makati Trillanes called on the people to join them in "the only opportunity for change". The media of course, followed him like mad dogs (only to be teargassed later). Some people waved gleefully at him and the cameras, the rest of us, well, went on with our daily lives.

After six hours and a wrecked Manila Penn lobby later, Trillanes and his gang surrenders.

"We're going out for the sake of the safety of everybody, for your sake because we cannot live with our conscience if some of you get hurt or get killed in the crossfire," said Trillanes, addressing the media.

Award?

Your dear heart bleeds for concern for the people yet you went straight to a hotel in the country's busy business capital? With armed guards?


What a punk, this Trillanes guy is.

Because it's cheesy like that.
