IDK, But IMO It’s AFD

Monkeyshines and tomfooleries rise like the tides comes the first of April. I would be wondering what pranks I would have to suffer or what embarassment I have to endure when the clock strikes 12 to mark April Fool’s Day.

I wish that I would not receive any news that the 3 hostaged ICRC workers  still under the claws of the Abu Sayyaf group are already beheaded. Or that former President Erap Estrada would team up with Loren Legarda and run for the presidency once more.

Or that the April Fool bug that would be unleashed today would wreak havoc and scare the hell out of the netizens and the slaves of information technology. I would not try to validate possible news that fuel prices would go down because in the first place, it’s been rising like crazy.

Could we have a version of the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest? Would the local giant networks broadcast something about trees in the Cordilleras that bear pancit noodles and are being harvested by the Igorots in similar fashion as picking strawberries in La Trinidad?

Or would there be any news that The Philippines would be qualified to compete in the World Cup in South Africa next year? Or that fast-food giant Jollibee would be bought by McDonalds and the Regular Yum with cheese would be renamed Burger McJolly with yummy keso?

 Hmmm. There’s so much material for April Fool’s stories. I bet cellphones would be busy with prank calls and text messages.  Meantime, here in Northern Mindanao, my work continues as the jokes and shenanigans of the day work on those who were made to believe that they are true.
