a famous joke now in Manila:
Jocjoc Bolante: Doctor, doctor I am sick! Call Ms. Gloria very quick!
Gloria, gloria, shall I die?
President Gloria: No, my Jocjoc just lie and lie!
(note: jocjoc bolante is the former undersecretary of agriculture. he is wanted by the Philippine senate to testify about the fertilizer fund scam. Funds were said to have been used during Gloria Arroyo's Presidential campaign. as of this time, jocjoc is still in the hospital for "medical check-up.").
