As I write this Sen. Grace Poe is reported to have finalized her decision to run for President with or without anyone anointing or endorsing her. She's going for broke like the US Marines of World War II. That's guts. No guts, no glory.

The name of the game played by hangers-out (sometimes they're called istambays) is 'pares-pares." They make presidential tandems which they think would fare well in the 2016 presidential election.

A reader e-mailed to me a small article he also picked up from his e-mail. It's about the talking parrots in Peru. Some politicians train these parrots to talk smart and appoint them as their spokesmen. The parrots are made to entertain inquisitive media reporters.

The parrots, according to my source, answer questions ranging from politics, economics, health, even the lovelife of their bosses who are out socializing or gambling. The e-mail article sent to me by the reader said the article originally came from Naciones magazine.

It says here that there has been a rise in theft cases in the shopping malls. Apparently the CCTV gadgets haven't been of much help. Some readers have suggested the installation of CCTV cum sirens to scare the thieves away. The CCTV can't catch the thieves it only show how the thieves do their thing.
