A horrific El Niño and DA’s breathtaking mediocrity

WE can’t really fault the two Jokers at the Department of Agriculture for the failure to prepare Philippine agriculture for Asean economic integration. Planning wisely and on time is beyond their intellectual reach. Mang Procy (Proceso Alcala) had deep grounding in public works construction before taking the predictable route of running for Congress. And had the supreme luck of being seated near the future president at the HOR.

The Kiko (Francis Pangilinan) was a small-time politician and radio-TV bloviator before he struck big-time by marrying a wealthy and famous singer-actress, his easy path to the Senate. Few actually remember the story that he, an ex-councilor who lost the congressional race to Sonny Belmonte, was stuck in limbo before his marriage to the immensely wealthy singer-actress. So young and with nowhere to go.
