It's now official. Mr. Palengke is now Boy Bawang.
That's how deputy presidential spokesman Anthony Golez is calling Mar Roxas after the Senator from Capiz delivered a privilege speech, in yesterday's last plenary session of the Senate, linking Malacañang to the con-ass resolution HR 1109 passed by Mrs. Arroyo's allies in Congress late Tuesday night, June 2. Senator Roxas distributed garlic (bawang) garlands to his colleagues in the Senate saying that bawang helps to ward off asswang. House Resolution (HR) 1109 seeks to convene Congress into a constituent assembly in order to amend the 1987 Constitution.
