Goodbye ‘unreasonable’ Joker ­— and TYTYTYTYTY

WHY are seven Supreme Court (SC) Justices abroad? (Manila Bulletin, Oct. 6, 2015, p. 8, col. 4.) They should be here to decide cases. I cannot imagine this phenomenon happening during, say, the Concepcion court, the last one before martial law was inflicted by Marcos, and made human rights lawyering necessary.

And why is Top House Absentee contender Manny Pacquiao running for the Senate? Joker P. Arroyo was never absent there. Was Manny inspired by the SC? He should just run for Sarangani Guv. There is a Vice-Guv. No Vice Senator. No Vice Cong. Too many blows in the head? Or solar plexus. Which was how the news about Joker - who Marcos, willy-nilly, made famous - hit me.
