An Inquirer report revealed today that now Pampanga Rep Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo returned back to Veterans Memorial Medical Center Thursday night due to a strain in her neck while trying to let out the melon that choked her. Preliminary investigation showed that Arroyo suffered "acute cervical and lumbar pain."
Reading this article, I can't help but laugh at the comments bombarded by Inquirer's avid readers. Despite all the debacles that are facing Filipinos' day-to-day living, they still find time to entertain themselves and take a break after a long-day's work.
The famous, most benta inside-jokes include that of user mad_as_Hamlet who said that the "melon should be declared our national fruit. And whoever gave GMA that melon, a national hero."
Another comment coming from the same user cites a witty unrealistic announcement of Malacanang mulling "declaring today and every August 3 as 'Melon Holiday'. GMA camp one step ahead. Goes to SC for a TRO and to declare Melon as 'fruta non grata.'"
A comic user, Toni, asked "where can I send more melon for GMA?"
Hahaha. These comments really filled my night with the good vibe and overflowing happiness. Though GMA's situation seems terrible, I know she'll be okay. She's wealthy and has a lot of connections. To be redirected to the original article, click here.
