Aquino and Defense secretary Gazmin on EDSA bus blast

Defense secretary Gazmin: " Sir!" (knocking at door three times, as custom of a PMAer)


Noynoy Aquino: (out came Mr. President in his pajama) " Yes..." sheepishly.


Gazmin: " Sir, the terrorists have attacked!"


Aquino: " What? Who?"


Gazmin: " We don't know sir. Should I prepare the bed sir?"


Aquino: "(closing the door) nah....wait...okey."


Gazmin: " Sir, did I not remind you of this threat last year and you said its manageable?"


Aquino: " Ah, yes, yes, I remember. There was this group alright, but you said they were short of funds. Nangungutang pa nga kamo, di ba and alang datung? O, are they the ones?


Gazmin: " Yup, sir, it seems like it."


Aquino: " Okey, okey. Let's see. Okey. Let's just tell the truth. We did'nt neutralize this group coz they don't have money to do what they planned to do. Besides, the reports say "malls" ,not "buses." So, I think Secretary, they are not the ones here."


Gazmin: " Ngek!"

Press Con


Government Official: " I believe that these series of carjacking incidents and this bus blast is part of a destabilization plot."


Reporter: " Why do you say that, sir?"


Govt Official: " Well, I noticed that the series of carjacking incidents happened shortly after Pnoy bought that Porsche car of his. Maybe those destabilizers tried to make a joke out of the President's purchase or the President's penchant for luxury cars. Imagine what will happen if carjackers steal that Porsche. The President will really be angry!


And the reason why they blew the bus is that they want people to ride all the MRT's and the LRTs. Look, after the LRT and the MRT's jacked up their rates, people started riding buses again. With this incident, people will again troop to the MRT despite its higher rates than buses."


Reporter: " Ngek."
