If the next Pulse Asia or Social Weather Station surveys would mind including in the list BF as a now rabid presidential wannabe, couldn’t the results be dramatically changed? I hazard that it will in much the same fashion as when Bayani Fernando won in that singing contest shown on nationwide TV. This time around, [...]
The Revolution advances!
January 23, 2009 By 1 Comment
It seems the Bayani Fernando revolution is making small but significant advances. Take for example this sign in the boys toilet of a Quezon City public school. What is a better spot to indoctrinate than this? :-) I couldn’t resist taking a photo! The teachers told me that the pink and blue signs were the [...]
The first week of January, chickens, a rampaging cow and Bayani Fernando’s pink
January 5, 2009 By 13 Comments
I do learn about a lot of new things in the first week of January. For starters as I prepare for my environment and diseases lecture, I read about an infectious diseases expert that was looking at the renewed possibility of more bird flu outbreaks. She estimated that the world’s population of chickens is about 40 billion!
‘Periscoping’ 2010
December 22, 2008 By 14 Comments
The 2010 presidential elections are some 17 months away and barring any successful attempt by narrow-and-dark-agenda’ed entities to scuttle the polls, I am making an early ‘periscoping’ of possible tandems which will be at the starting gate. The pairings: Estrada-Binay Escudero-Legarda De Castro-Fernando Villar-Lacson Roxas – ??? You will note that it’s only for Senator [...]
A revolution is no Celebrity Duet!
November 17, 2008 By 1 Comment
With the 2010 presidential pot beginning to stir, the best place to smell what’s cooking is at the local inuman joint. Well this time, I was with a friend and one UP law grad who is with Bayani Fernando’s team! Let’s be realistic Bayani’s 1% rating makes him “dehado”. The problem is how to convince the [...]
Bayani’s War
November 17, 2008 By 17 Comments
My day began with DZMM’s multi-voiced Neal Ocampo interviewing Metro Manila Development Authority general manager Robert Nacianceno pooh-poohing the stunt pulled by angry people’s organizations who’ve spray-painted those larger-than-life tarps of Mr. Bayani Fernando which ostensibly exhort us to be disciplined. Nacianceno volunteered that ‘BF’ is not pulling down the defaced campaign material to prove [...]
The Chairman’s ideology
November 10, 2008 By 39 Comments
I have argued in my posts that MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando’s bid for the Presidency has to be taken more seriously than we did in Celebrity Duets (where he bagged the plum prize and made Ricky Reyes burst into tears of joy). While in the Metro, his chances are not taken seriously but even with his 1% [...]
The East is Pink
November 8, 2008 By 31 Comments
With apologies to the Great Helmsman, the east of Metro Manila is indeed pink. After island hopping in the Visayas and getting stopped by a tropical depression, I learned that Bayani Fernando’s message has somehow gotten through. Thanks to disasters. Bayani is a sort of hero after Typhoon Frank. It seems that typhoons remind people [...]
The GMA-BF Pink Magic Show

I agree with Schumey about MMDA Bayani Fernando. He’s all pomp and no show. He’s your average joker, the kind that you want to throw rotten tomatoes except that you can’t ‘cos tomatoes nowadays are too expensive to even spend just for him.
Here’s the thing though–despite what we think about him, he’s not going to turn around and say that he’s wrong. Nah. He’s too proud and too callous to do that. That’s why a few months back, I’ve been calling for anti-Gloria groups to wage war against him. Why?
Tyrrany and the Image

- one of Bayani Fernando’s giant tarpaulin posters, Quezon Avenue Station, Quezon City If you live in Metro Manila, you may have observed a lot of blown-up posters of MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando. In almost three months of being a “resident” of Metro Manila, I find myself confused, if not intrigued, at the rather imposing, [...]
