Has He Lost His Mind?

What's with Manoling Morato?

"O bakit ba naging national artist to si Lumbera? Sino ba nakakakilala dyan? O sige, paglakarin na lang natin sila sa kalye, tingnan natin sino kilala ng tao, sila (national artists) o si Carlo J. Caparas..."

Yes, he said something like that. Not the exact words but that was more or less what he said.

Ang sakit mo sa ulo Manoling. There are standards in choosing a national artist. Hindi nadadaan sa kasikatan yan, hindi sa kung sino ang popular at kilala ng tao. He even said "kaya nga national e, dapat kilala sa buong bansa". What an idiotic point to make. He being a big baby.
