With magic man, and senator, Francis “Chiz” Escudero’s decision not to run for president (or at all) in 2010, our hopes of a perfect tandem have forever been shattered.

Capiz: serious business

Capiz Official Seal of Quality
Capiz Province, erstwhile Aswang Capital of the Philippines, recently took offense at Malacanang for shrugging off Sen. Manuel Roxas II’s garlic-garland gimmick as nothing more than such, and for calling him “Boy Bawang” after a popular garlic-flavored corn snack.
Capiz, it turns out, is also the capital of what debate coaches and high school English teachers fear most: logical fallacies.
Sen. Manuel Roxas II has gone from “Boy Padyak” to “Boy Bawang” with his recent gimmick on the Senate floor: wearing a garland of garlic while he railed against the Con-Asswang (Constituent Assembly Monster, but the cleverness is lost in translation) in a privilege speech.
He later distributed garlic to his fellow senators as a symbol of their opposition to the Con-Asswang, presumably some sort of vampire-like creature that sucks the lifeblood out of people. So, congressmen, basically.
Political gimmick! *hiss!*
