"CANTANKEROUS"


TODAY, WHILE READING A NEWSPAPERS, I MEET A NEW WORD THAT IS NOT VERY FAMILIAR TO ME. A WORD THAT IS SELDOM USED BUT VERY POWERFUL TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WITH RESPECT TO HIS OR HER PERSONALITY.

TWO SEASONED AND BRILLIANT FILIPINO SENATORS ARE ODDS WITH EACH OTHER AT THE START OF 2013, SENATE PRESIDENT JUAN PONCE ENRILE AND MIRIAN DEFENSOR SANTIAGO, AN UPCOMING JUDGE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THE WORD WAR BETWEEN THESE TWO STARTED OVER THE SO-CALLED PURPORTED "CHRISTMAS BONUS" ON HIS PART, ACCORDING TO SENATE PRESIDENT ENRILE, HE WAS MALIGNED BY HIS ENEMIES AND CRITICS AND PORTRAY HIM AS A "LIAR" AND "TRAITOR" AND CAST THE SENATE "UNDER THE CLOUD OF SUSPICION AS A HOUSE OF THIEVES."

IN HIS FIGHTING FORM, ENRILE SAID, "HE IS TOO OLD TO BE THREATENED BY ANYONE, LEAST OF ALL COWARDS AND HYPOCRITES." HE EVEN CALLED SENATOR MIRRIAM DEFENSOR SANTIAGO HIS "MOST CANTANKEROUS CRITIC."

CANTANKEROUS - ILL-TEMPERED, QUARRELSOME AND MOST DIFFICULT TO HANDLE CRITICS.

ENRILE STEP DOWN AND DECLARED HIS POST VACANT BUT MAJORITY OF HIS COLLEAGUES REJECT HIS QUIT BID AND RETAIN HIS POST AS SENATE PRESIDENT AND THE NUMBER THREE (3) MOST POWERFUL OFFICIAL OF THE LAND.

LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
