I rarely watch primetime shows because I stay out late. By the time I am home, it's time for the 700 Club (hehehe). When I first saw PBB, I wasn't able to recognize a "kababata" of mine. However, few episodes before his eviction, I had this feeling that I knew him. On the night of the eviction, I was surprised to see Tita Mila on TV and some other peepz from la union. Suddenly it hit me! It was Joseph Benedict Aquino Magsaysay! Yes! JB! JB's maternal grandmother, Nieves Aquino is a relative of my paternal grandmother.
Suddenly I remembered the good old times. JB and his siblings did not really grow up in La Union, they grew in Manila. They just came home during the 1992 elections when his mom ran for congress. JB even became my cousin Melissa's childhood sweetheart (haaaayy....those were the days). After the election, they went back to Manila. Then again, they came back when one of his elder brothers ran for office. I guess, history repeats itself... he was defeated. Again, they went back to Manila. Last Christmas, I saw JB with his basketball team. He is not a player though. He was there to support his players as the SK Chairman of their barangay. Haaayyy... how time flies...
Then I read negative write-ups about JB and even saw negative comments in PBB forums. I couldn't agree more. Yes, he is mayabang. But you know what? He ain't JB if he is not arrogant (if you know what I mean). Sana lang, magbago siya.
