If We Hold On Together...
A comment in this blog about Dinky Soliman got me laughing so hard. He said Dinky and Enteng should not have been arrested at Baywalk, but her future employer should fire her the moment she begins singing "If We Hold On Together."
The reason why I laughed so hard was because, coincidentally, a fellow teacher at the College where I teach works at Malacanang. And just yesterday, this co-teacher was narrating to us (in full emote mode - you know -gesturing frantically and acting the scene out in an exaggerated way) just exactly how that infamous choral rendition played out. Picture this in your mind: Dinky so overcome with emotions she was practically sobbing when she led in the singing. In the first place, I really can't picture cabinet secretaries singing that song while trying to look dignified (yay!).
A company that I consult for used to have that song as their company "theme song." They would hold hands and sing that song at the end of their social gatherings. They have since stopped the practice because employees would end up kidding each other, wondering out loud who among them was a Dinky Soliman.

Another matter re these opinion polls, may I suggest you read today's (March23) op-ed column of Ann Coulter, that ultra-rightist American columnist, about news polls in the US. Not that I agree with her all the time (am no die-hard conservative nor liberal, maybe middle of the road-er ako) but i always have a good laugh reading her because she uses the most colorful, abusive language!
Anyway, in that column she could have been talking about Philippine news polls! That they only serve to brainwash the public, etc.etc. Myself, I always wonder about the credibility of these polls. Well, anyone who has some science training (ahem, like me) and who passed all her Stats courses (ahem, like me) would think about sampling techniques, sample size, location etc. etc. That's why these polls have long stopped being anything to me, kahit nung time pa ni FVR at Erap. I wonder what the others think.

The song gives more meaning to the word 'camaraderie'.
But now, that song annoys me each time I hear it. Know why? ...because the face of Dinky Soliman slowly creeps into my mind's eye.
Now, I associate that song with the word 'treachery'.
