Greed Moderately

Set and unfurled before the eyes of the entire nation is the continuing teleserye that is the NBN-ZTE deal scandal. If the two big networks have been scurrying for perfect material for their primetime tills, this could be it. No scripts, but heavy drama is most efficiently embedded. How could anyone so imagine a bald man crying and moping around for a done deal, which is of course, as we know, not that really done yet. This whistleblower, Jun Lozada, is absolutely, on the top of the game as of recent to expose the apparent graft in this "procurement". The revelations are astounding, and only by far rivalled by Maging Sino Ka Man in its entirety. Indeed, it encompasses every field and genre there is. There shall be no need of any Viveka Babajee to rig any awards night. For obvious reasons, the greatest actors are in absentia in the local showbiz pool. The nuns are there, the military could be somewhere lurking, and the senators provide for most of the shape-shifting. They have their interests! And who wouldn't love Miriam for being uh.. Miriam. All the valid questions done via the most interesting accent. And take note the timing.

We shall see more of this savory take every now and then. And we shall title this continuing saga as what? Sinakal,Nagbakasakali, Saklolo!? Or $130 million heaps under the sea? Or Abalos: The greedy barber of the Wack Wack street.
