MLA STANDARD: KIT TATAD ON "MOST INFLUENTIAL"
Has he not INFLUENCED those running the lead organs of the conscript media to report on the front page, and on prime time TV, that TIME had used his gobsmacked faced, in full color, to adorn its latest cover-when in fact it never did? It was as crass as the bogus claim, propagated earlier by the same organs, that he has "KEYNOTED" the last World Leaders Economic Forum in Davos when, in fact, he never did. Indeed, it would be unfair to question B.S. III's "influence." He certainly is a great influence, and the kids have a word for it-B.I. (FOR BAD INFLUENCE), or S.B.I. (for super-bad influence).

MLA STANDARD: KIT TATAD ON "MOST INFLUENTIAL"
Has he not INFLUENCED his propaganda pollsters to flood the country with surveys showing results that would support what he is saying, including his MATHEMATICALLY IMPROBABLE PREDICTION of the May election results?

Sadly, all this talk about Aquino influencing the economy and the entire country for the better is not felt by people who HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD of Time Magazine. or even of how one place-friendly media outlet FELL FOR A FAKE TIME COVER in its eagerness to suck up to our supposedly influential leader. And it is unsure how the lives of these people will be influenced by more access to state-provided contraception and sex education or the saber-rattling across the western seas, if people STILL CAN NOT GET JOBS to feed their families.

MLA STANDARD: KIT TATAD ON "MOST INFLUENTIAL"
- has he not INFLUENCED 188 members of the House of Representatives to sign an impeachment complaint against a sitting Chief Justice even without reading the document themselves? Has he not INFLUENCED some of the senators to convict and remove the same Chief Justice on what was hardly an impeachable offense? Has he not INFLUENCED the same members of Congress to ram through a RH bill that unconscionably tramples upon the privacy of married couples and the sanctity of their religious beliefs?

Mike Enriquez on DZBB: Sabi ni NEDA Sec Arsenio Balisacan. It could have been worst... Aba Secretary, magandang umaga po sa inyo hindi naman natin pinag-uusapan 'yung it could have been worst. ang pinag-uusapan dito it should be better. Ano ba naman yan? Relax lang kayo? Baka nga kung walang Conditional Cash Transfer Program baka maging maging malala. Hindi naman natin pinag-uusapan ang paglala, pinag-uusapan natin dito ang pagbuti ng sitwasyon ng mga mahihirap. It couldn't been worst daw, ano ba namang utak yan?.
