YOUTHOPIA
By Marylaine Louise Viernes
‘Coat and unquote’


Being in America for the past weeks has really helped me release stress. I enjoy shuttling from San Francisco to Los Angeles and learning a lot of things! I’ve been able to see things for myself and determine whether or not the myths about life in America are true. Some of our kababayan encourage me to stay here for a convenient life, but I just can’t separate myself from the Philippines.

The weather’s great but I sometimes freeze so I needed coats to insulate myself with. I’ve scoured the malls here but they’re nothing compared to what I was able to discover online. It’s everything about coats . . . and our country.

Turncoats

This type of coat is usually worn by the elite politicians in our society. It covers the entire body, most importantly the stomach area, hiding the wearer’s large protruding pork belly. The zipper can go up to the mouth, over the neck, not to trap heat, but to cover the wearer’s nonsense trash talk, coming to his own defense whenever he decides to change horses and backstab his once-upon-a-time ally. We don’t need these, but you can order this online via http://www.joe-de-perensiya.com/trapos.

Bolero

This one is something worn by the debonair gentlemen of our time, otherwise known as the “Con­men.” They’re responsible gentlemen; responsible for inhibiting our PRO-gress, thus they have taken their pompous seats in CON-gress. They’re smooth; they say they know how to take the bull by the horns in their matador boleros but it’s all just reading from bull sheet. They have this uncanny ability to knock the masses off their feet as though they were heroes. Conmen in Boleros are publicity harlots. There’s a full new collection online; just log on to http://www.mr.paleng­keros.net/sellyourvote.

Mess Jacket

This one is for the poor people in our society: poor in principle and backbone. Who constantly rant at how rotten the political system in our country is, hating the way some of our leaders would corrupt our money when they, too, would pounce at any opportunity. They wear their mess jackets while bumming around, indifferent to those who strive for change and improvement in their lives, and would not mind working with a bare back just as long as they can feed their family through decent though lowly means. For those who look forward to selling their votes and see themselves smiling despite the mess we’re in, go to http://hindikaaasenso.com/kahitanonggawinmo and get the latest trends.

Reigncoat

Now this is the jacket preferred by the intelligent people in our society; those who would stop at nothing for the fulfillment of a dream. This incredible suit enables the wearer to keep a smile while uttering lies to the nation. This jacket is highly expensive, and it has the uncanny ability of making really short people stand out. Just type http://www.your­Gloriadaysareover.com and see what I mean.

Windcheaters

This type of coat is made of thinner material, usually worn under the reigncoat. What this one does in insulate all the people with money so that they’d be cozy and quiet. This is also a favorite come election time. But this doesn’t only apply during election contests, but also during multi-billion deals and transactions. It also has this uncanny ability in making sure that the wearer wins. I’ve read documentations of how fond some of our noblest presidents had been of windcheaters. I wonder if our current president is, too. Hello!?! Don’t forget to go to the site dedicated to windcheaters: http://www.naisahan­koPOEkayo.com.

Trenchcoat

These are the coats purposefully kept inside the Cabinets. These are age-old and smelly, and they keep on adding during every administration. They smell so bad, but people mostly died uncovering them; I guess the truth will be buried forever. I heard VFR got himself one from the top-of-the-line brand Pay-ya and Amarri, and there was a Genuino fine leather taped along the Gar-see racks. I heard the most disgusting coat was one from Sir Raulo collections. It just keeps on piling! I could go on but I don’t know what horrors we might uncover. All I know is that these keep our country in the trenches. To learn more, click on this link: http://skeletonsinyourCabinet.com/RiP.

There’s really no stopping Filipinos from wearing our coats.
