funny thing is my parents and i counted the times when reporters paused whenever they were supposed to say Pres. Aquino’s name. one reporter even said “nandito pa rin po tayo sa libing ng dating pangulong A–a—a…Aquino.”

If GMA dies, and the day of her funeral would also be declared a non-working holiday, everybody will be out for sure, to go to the beach that is.

DEATH OF ARROYO JOKE SERIES. No 1

reporter: sir, kung si GMA ang namatay, sa tingin nyo ba ba madami din ang taong dadalo

bystander: baka mas marami pa

reporter: bakit po?

bystander: siyempre gusto ng taong makasiguro na patay na nga talaga siya!!!

Ted Failon also made the same mistake on live broadcast. “Sa ngayon po ay bukas na ang Manila Cathedral para sa viewing ng mga labi ni dating Pangulong Arroyo.” (or words to that effect.) Co-anchor Corina (or was it Ces Drilon) was right beside him and made no effort to correct him. Alas, perhaps we are all wishing that IT WASN”T our Dear Tita Cory we lost.

That’s a typo. Arroyo is not an elected president.

Even Ted Failon repeatedly made the same mistake. I think he said “Arroyo” instead of “Aquino” at least 3 times while I was tuned in, and I wasn’t even glued to their channel.

Maybe it’s the manifestation of Filipino wishful thinking?

The scary part is that we can only die once.

Does that give her the privilege, then, to do more mean and cruel and rude decisions because she’s dead anyway?

Nonetheless, the error is really funny.

We really do know how to make somber moments fun, don’t we?

Everything is subliminal. Pati TV announcers laging, “libing ni Pres. Arroyo”

Ah, half the country’s wishful thinking. Earlier on, Ted Failon also mentioned “Pres. Arroyo’s wake” live on tv with Noynoy Aquino beside him. That’s fatigue and wishful thinking in one shot.
