Ways to Win an Election # 1: Take Advantage of Your Position


This sign came up early this week. After more than a year of endless banners and posters all over the city, the City passes an ordinance prohibiting the display of such paraphernalia  in major roads and streets.

And like true civil servants, the city street cleaners swooped down the streets and tore down the banners of Defensor, Susano, Lagman and almost everyone else.

Everyone's that is except those of the mayor's anointed successor and his running mate who happens to be the mayor's daughter, and of course, the mayor himself who is running for Congress.





I guess being in power has its privileges.

Sad.
