Yes, that was Miriam playing at being Katniss Everdeen. It's gimmicky but, I suppose, it served its purpose. Nice touch (?) that Miriam went young, trendy and (I don't know) revolutionary with this one.
Meanwhile, Enrile was playing Bejeweled. Enough said.
Yesterday, this happened:
Is this an unfunny standup comedy show? Oh, no, it's not.
If I needed further confirmation (which I really don't) of my assessment of his character and intelligence, this is it.
My 2 major memories of Bong Revilla Jr. now are: 1 - His equally ridiculous anti-Hayden speech and 2 - this delusional (unbelievable / bizarre / cheap / desperate / insulting / embarrassing - insert preferred adjective) scene.
Old trapo style politicians may have been comforted by the idea that even if they can't fool the literate part of society, they could always fool the masses with showbiz tactics. Well, I just overheard our household staff discussing the issue a while ago and they were also in complete disbelief with Revilla’s statements. That's a slice of the people's mind right there for you, senators.
I suppose, as can be deduced, their camp's game plan goes like this: 1 - Muddle the main issue with so many other random issues (to hopefully confuse/distract everyone), 2 - Immediately counter-accuse your accuser (hindi ako, ikaw noh, hindi ako, ikaw din noh!), and 3 - Pull all the cheesy shenanigans you can think of (and hope for the very best).
ALSO, I would like to repeat this: If you keep on saying that you were bribed to vote against Corona and you subsequently did vote against him then this would also mean that you are ADMITTING TO A CRIME and are, in fact, INCRIMINATING yourself. (facepalm)
