As reported earlier by Evil Bill Bilig, Gloria mentioned three of our kailiyans during her State of the Nation Address (SONA). They are Mt. Province Governor Maximo Dalog, Warren Ambat and Hester Umayam. Of course, she mentioned many other politicians (55 according to Newsbreak) and several other private individuals.
What’s up with all that name dropping? We think it is her attempt to maintain those politicians’ favor. She also mentioned the names of private persons who have achieved something (won awards, etc.) in order to appropriate their achievements and to make us believe that these people are winners because of Gloria.

Anyways, let’s look at what Gloria said in relation to the Cordilleras. First, here’s where she mentioned our roads (Halsema and the Tabuk-Tinglayan road) and where she gave a shout out to Governor Dalog:
The following report on Gloria’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) is an attempt by Bill Bilig’s evil twin a.k.a Evil Bill Bilig to be a cool kid.
If you want to see if his report is reliable, you should visit Tingog, the Voice of the Filipino People which has the full version of the SONA. Evil Bill apologizes to Kayni in advance for including her in Gloria’s nonsense. The good (ehem) Bill Bilig’s reaction to the SONA will be up soon.
According to Evil Bill Bilig, Gloria’s state of the nation address went like this:
Yadaa, yadaa, yadaa, yadaa. Blaa, blaa, blaa, blaa. The Philippines will be world class in 2010. Yadaa, yadaa, blaa, blaa. We will have first class airports, first class seaports, first class roads. Yadaa, yadaa, blaa, blaa. [Mentions name of politicians.] Yadaa, yadaa, yadaa, yadaa. We will send Filipinos to the moon. Yadaa, yaddaa, quack, quack, quack. [Mentions name of Mt. Province Governor Maximo Dalog.] Yadaa, yadaa, yadaa, yadaa. Halsema Road will be world class. Tabuk to Tinglayan Road will be world class. Blaa, blaa, blaa, blaa. Quack, quack, quack, quack. [Mentions names of more politicians.]
Tomorrow, Gloria a.k.a. Gollum will be delivering her State of the Nation Address (SONA). Of course we are interested in what she is going to say. We’re particularly interested kung ano ang sasabihin niya tungkol sa Cordillera.
In the meantime, let’s review Gloria’s SONA last year where she said the following: Continue reading »

Our posts on languages generated several thoughtful comments so I decided to upload two of them here for those of you who don’t visit the comments section. [Aha, you are missing 2/3s of your life if you don't read the comments in this blog hehe.] The first comment is from an anonymous commenter (Hi Anonymous!) and the second one is from Layad who, incidentally, has a blog that you should visit. Thanks you two!
