The discussion was in Filipino) - sinubukan ko lang mag-ingles
This afternoon while playing mahjong, subject of discussion was who is to vote for this coming election (senatorial). As usual, there were kibitzers who said they are going to vote for the Hugpong bets. "What?" I said in dismay, "inspite of they are known to be plunderers, still you are going to vote for them?" One of the players replied, "Yes, because, blah,blah,blah." Since i know i won't win an argument with people whose mind set .... is you know ... zipped my lips. After some seconds, a former student of mine who obviously is for the Hugpong side asked me. "Sir, you want us to vote for the opposition?" "Yes". i said, "because these candidates are talented and very obvious they are for the people." Naturally, some rebutted. The student then asked... "you want us to vote for Roxas? I said, "YES!". He replied, "he is a thief, he plundered the Yolanda funds (typhoon Yolanda). "That is not true, a fake news penned by the trolls of ....." I continued, "the funds are with NEDA, it is in the news, nothng was plundered." "How about the relief goods for the Yolanda that got rotten because he did not have it distributed?" he asked. "Again fake news, the real culprit is the ...." i said." Sir, how about the Mahindra vehicles which are overpriced?" Irritatedlv, "the problem with you is you believe all of the muds thrown by this government to Roxas. Obviously, you don't read or maybe since your mind set is that Roxas is no good, no matter how he was able to explain his side... you don't believe him. No matter, there were facts that he is clean of all accusations, you don't believe it." in digust i said. Lastly, i said, "end of discussion, i don't want to argue with people like you."
