Happy happy birthday unto you, HER EXCELLENCY…

You’re the most admired among the CLAN-DUTERTE;

You’re exquisite and most ADMIRABLE – –

Your PULCHRITUDE derives much from you MOM, who’s BEAUTIFUL,

Who’s championing an advocacy for CANCER-CURE, ‘tis so NOBLE…

While you took some from your DAD’s RUGGEDLY SUAVE LOOKS, who seems INVINCIBLE – –

Also, some tinge of grit with the use of your FIST’S LARGE KNUCKLE!

 

 

Madame SARA was born on May 31 NINETEEN SEVENTY-EIGHT…

Popularly known as “INDAY SARA”, her nice SOBRIQUET;

A seasoned politician who’s the 15th  vice-president of our COUNTRY – –

The youngest vice president in our very own Philippine HISTORY,

A GEMINIAN who’s so  DETERMINED and UNFLINCHING…

  Sharp-witted and is very capable of tremendous INVENTIVENESS, much CREATING – –

She’s competent and  so amiable, though she LOVES much of DEBATING!

 

Madame SARA is also the Secretary of EDUCATION…

Holding the post in a concurrent capacity, a post which is truly her ASPIRATION;

As she wants to enhance and ameliorate our country’s people’s LITERACY – –

The FIELD OF EDUCATION is truly her CUP OF TEA,

Recently named as VICE-CHAIR for the NTF-ELCAC…

The NPA rebels must now be ready to COVER and DUCK – –

For Madame SARA won’t allow our nation’s progress to be STUCK and MUCKED!

 

 

Madame SARA previously served as the mayor of Davao City from 2016 to TWENTY TWENTY-TWO…

And earlier, she served from 2010 to 2013 as chief alderman TOO;

She was Davao City’s vice-mayor too, from 2007 to TWO THOUSAND TEN – –

She’s really the most experienced politico and brightest kin to date, of the renowned DUTERTE DEN,

For GEMINIS born on May 31st are jovial, friendly and ELOQUENT, so WELL-SPOKEN…

Gemini PALS are typically curious, quick-witted and COMMUNICATIVE – –

Ideal traits of a country’s PRESIDENT, let’s push her in 2028 on TOP, and let’s start to be ACTIVE!

 

Madame SARA was born in Davao City, which is the largest city in the WORLD…

 Madame SARA among her siblings, I guess, is the one who’s most BOLD;

Did you see, how she punched a DISOBEDIENT COURT SHERIFF – –

 Madame SARA was trying then to iron out a landowner-informal settlers’ RIFT,

But the SHERIFF seemed a bit ARROGANT, and chose not to WAIT…

 IRKING Madame SARA, as it seemed the SHERIFF wants still a DEBATE – –

While the informal settlers for eviction then, were all in dire STRAIT!

 

Madame SARA is the second child to past President Rodrigo DUTERTE y ROA…

Her mother was flight attendant Elizabeth, worked at PAL, and survived a CARCINOMA;

Madame SARA’s maternal grandfather was a Jewish, who fled to PH from Nazi GERMANY – –

‘Twas indeed through the aid of MLQ, who transported to PH, each and every JEWISH REFUGEE,

‘Twas a humanitarian act conferred upon the JEWS by President QUEZON…

For which reason, the JEWS were so grateful, for such COOPERATION – –

Were it not for the interference of the US chiefs, much more JEWS got rescued via the OPEN DOORS’ NOTION!  

 

 

Madame SARA spoke once of her “love-hate relationship” with our past PRES.…

‘Twas when she was a still a stude, due to her loathing of DU30’s womanizing FONDNESS;

Despite this, DU30 still deemed Madame Sara as his favorite CHILD – –

As DIGONG placed high value on schooling of Madame SARA and her siblings, DU3o didn’t want them to go WILD,

Madame SARA attended San Pedro College, major in BS Respiratory THERAPY, and graduated in NINETEEN NINETY- NINE…

Became mayor of Davao City in 2016, and in her inaugural speech, she said she wanted to be a PEDIATRICIAN – –

Alas and ahoy… Madame SARA eventually became a PAR EXCELLENCE POLITICIAN!

 

 

Madame SARA took up a law degree at the Benedictine’s San Beda COLLEGE…

Transferred thereafter to  San Sebastian College, run by  the AUGUSTINIAN RECOLETOS, a seeming FRIARLY COLLAGE;

 

 

Both Benedict and Augustine are two founders of styles of Christian community LIFE – –

Both ministers’ groups take a vow of celibacy, thus the priest in their midst can’t have a WIFE,

Both Benedict and Augustine wrote a RULE that gave high degree of consistency to RELIGION…

With prayers uttered and recited, Madame SARA in 2005 passed the Philippine Bar EXAMINATION – –

Initially worked as court attorney at the office of past SC Justice CALLEJO, a magistrate who’s “MUY JUCIOSO y UN

SENSACION”!

Happy happy birthday ONCE AGAIN, MADAME SARA DUTERTE!

 

Happy happy birthday to the MARVELOUS MATRIARCH of the MARONILLA CLAN…

A religious and devotional being, she typifies indeed a  spiritual WOMAN;

To be a spiritual woman requires much immersion in the art of LISTENING – –

For LISTENING is a sign of RESPECT, and that’s AMAZING,

To be quiet is the way to hear GOD’s voice SPEAKING …

Speaking to our hearts and minds, as GOD has made us in His IMAGE – –

Mam BECKY indeed is cool and solemn, as she never ever goes into much RAGE!

 

GEMINIS born on May 26 may appear serious, even STOIC, nay COMPOSED…

But underneath it all, they are warm-hearted, kind, and even HILARIOUS;

They’re indeed funny when the mood strikes THEM – –

The way they carry themselves  proclaims indeed, a sense of DECORUM,

For GEMINIANS  are aware of their dignity and EMINENCE…

As GEMINIS are so imaginative, perceptive and bright, nay full of LUMINANCE – –

And with all these traits truly, they can truly assert their DOMINANCE!

As a GEMINI, you’re playful but have a lot of RESOLVES…

 But most people born under the GEMINI zodiac sign are soft-hearted, and GENEROUS;

GEMINIANS can effectively express themselves but not much when it comes to EMOTION – –

You know what others want to say even before their LOCUTION,

You, as a GEMINIAN, easily adapts to changes in their ENVIRONMENT …

It means therefore that GEMINIANS can thrive in a variety of conditions, nay any ENCOMPASSMENT – –

Your sphere indeed is so vast as it traverses the EARTH up to GOD’s  FIRMAMENT!

People born on May 26 are very good COMMUNICATORS…

It’s showing indeed in the regular meetings of the CLAN, even in the presence of DETRACTORS;

So surely indeed, that solo DETRACTOR will eventually SURRENDER – –

For your goal indeed is beneficial to all the HEIRS,

Better gift that detractor with a hearing aid as she’s not listening through her EARS…

She just wants perhaps to nab the leadership and be the ESTATE’s ADMIN – –

But not one among the heirs will risk such hazardous THING!

 

 

 

As a GEMINIAN, you can use your eloquence to convince OTHER PEOPLE…

That ONE DETRACTOR indeed, will by your acts, TURN MALLEABLE;

She’d eventually by GOD’s grace be

COOPERATIVE and SUBMISSIVE – –

‘Tis indeed is like a POKER PLAY, so we need to adopt those GAMING TIPS,

Never ever be the FIRST PLAYER to LIMP, as we’ll not just want a QUICK  FIX…

It’s a FINAL SOLUTION that every heir wants as virtual VERDICT – –

We’ll surely pay off the RPT and the ESTATE TAX, as though it’s just an easy CLICK!

 

 

And as the CLAN needs money to comply and PAY…

Still I wish to make a TOAST with a HOLLERING HURRAY;

But I wish to broach, Mam BECKY to do some PLAY, and I’d try to convince and SWAY  – –

For your LUCKY NUMBERS are: 2, 8, 13, 16,  and 21; add one more for LOTTO to PLAY,

But don’t even forget to share me some BALATO, on LOTTO PAY OFF DAY…

And payments indeed for the ESTATE’s COMPLIANCE, will be as EASY as PIE – –

And the sole DETRACTOR’s MAD DEFIANCE will EVENTUALLY DIE!

 

 

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAM BECKY!

 

 

Happy  happy  BIRTHDAY ROLLY, also known with his SOBRIQUET as KISSMI…

You’re indeed the BEST CRIMINAL LAWYER that I’ve known, who’s neither ARROGANT nor NASTY;

CROSS-EXAMINER PAR EXCELLENCE,  KARAOKE SINGER too; whose voice is euphonious, but at times quite RASPY – –

While court witnesses would assert that ROLLY’S QUESTIONS, as though singing a SONG,

Would sway them to speak the truth most HONESTLY, but not for LONG!

 

A native of CATBALOGAN, SAMAR, ROLLY was born on May TWENTY-FOUR…

And GEMINIANS born on May 24 have a strong intellect and a rock-hard CORE;

They enunciate tough and adamantine opinions, despite the pleasant face they endeavor to FORM – –

They’re ably suited to handle the stresses and strains of DIURNAL LIFE’s NORM,

That’s ROLLY’s nature for he was in a merry month of MAY, been BORN!

 

 

Though GEMINIANS may appear to be emotionally FRAGILE…

But they’re cerebral, eloquent and have a great sense of humor, luring much DAMSEL;

GEMINIANS are friendly and warm-hearted and looks CHARMING TOO – –

They seem to project an image of a CASANOVA and even LOTHARIO,

Who like ROLLY are both good in BED, ‘tis TRUE!

 

But please do not appear too prurient and LEWD…

The phrase “GOOD IN BED” is actually ROLLY’s routine after a night SNOOZE;

For ROLLY seems truly fond and devoted to MAKING HIS BED, DAILY- –

That’s ADMIRAL MCRAVEN’s slogan when at the University of Texas, he sort of turned FUNNY,

Though he rose to fame for such a nice COMMENCEMENT SPEECH DELIVERY!

But indeed, the CASANOVAN spirit dwells truly unto ROLLY’s PSYCHE…

For he opted to adopt the nickname KISSMI, as his naughty SOBRIQUET;

And damsels indeed are much allured unto ROLLY, to KISS HIM- –

‘Twas his PAPA who INVENTED, nay CRAFTED  the “KISSMI” NAME,

So it’s not for us to put ROLLY unto any BLAME!

 

In MCRAVEN’s commencement speech at the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS…

Admiral MCRAVEN of the NAVY SEALS truly delivered a BLAST;

His comedic, nay riotous utterance was: “If you want to change the world, make your BED.” – –

But as the WISE ADMIRAL enunciated and HIGHLIGHTED,

His utterance upon the graduates got fully IMBEDDED!

 

Admiral MCRAVEN easily became an in-demand COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER…

For his advocacy is CHANGING and SAVING the WORLD, for generations HEREAFTER;

And ROLLY’s advocacy too is a matter of CHANGE or IMPROVEMENT – –

Change the SC DECISION’s lengthy template with so much COMMENT,

Let’s shorten it at most to 5 pages, so that lawyers won’t be reading a 50-paged JUDGMENT!

 

Back to our idolized litigation LAWYER, who lawyered for the author of the most deadly COMPUTER VIRUS…

‘Twas the “I LOVE YOU VIRUS”, which

brought loads of computers into a CRASH and the effect was VICIOUS;

As even the CIA and UK’s HOUSE OF COMMONS, were perilously AFFECTED – –

Still ROLLY was able to have the case DISMISSED, as the suspect got ACQUITTED,

But was warned by the US chiefs that ONEL’s trip to AMERICA, would result of him getting INDICTED!

 

 

On your natal day on a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY…

I wish to do a TOAST and a HOLLERING HURRAY;

As to LUCK, your luckiest day is WEDNESDAY, which falls on your VERY BIRTHDAY – –

And your LUCKIEST numbers are: 2,4, 17, 18, and 24; add one more for LOTTO to PLAY,

BUT PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SHARE ME SOME “BALATO” ON YOUR WINNING ON LOTTO’S PAY OFF DAY!

MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN MULI KISSMI!

 

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTDAY FROM YOUR PARTNERS-CROONERS!

 

 

Happy happy birthday Madame Cecilia Arlin B. AGULTO…

Being born on April 16, you’re deemed as a sensitive, compassionate, and a generous person TOO;

 Despite your warmth and caring, you’d be suspected of being indifferent and  ALOOF ALSO – –

But what is best, it that as an April 16 personality, you are easy to FORGIVE,

And I could easily and competently say that such trait is your ACE on your SLEEVE!

 

 

People born on April 16 have a lot to OFFER…

They’re suited for leadership roles as they’d easily see the issue’s angles and subject MATTER;

They simply can  come up with an innovative SOLUTION – –

And they’re gifted too, with skills in NEGOTIATION or MEDIATION,

As they’re adept with superb ability to swiftly understand others’ LOCUTION!

 

 In their leadership role, they’re able to take into CONSIDERATION…

The needs of those around them and they’d consider difference of OPINION;

In relationships, ARIANS tend to be the ones that set the STANDARD – –

For what’s acceptable and what is not, they’d comply with it strictly, even if it’s so HARD,

They may have the adversity and/or misfortune, still they’d accord HIGH REGARD!

 

An April 16 birthday pal, like you, is also very energetic and ENTHUSIASTIC…

So their relationships tend to be lively, interesting affairs, so FANTASTIC;

ARIANS, like you, may not always be the most emotionally available BUDDY – –

Still though,  it’s important for ARIANS like you to find someone who can appreciate and be HAPPY,

ARIANS indeed have unique qualities and they won’t be overwhelmed as they’re FINE and DANDY!

 

 

Indeed, as a septuagenarian, you seem to be “YOUNG” just like our CLAN…

You seem to be just TWO (2) scores away from your DEBUT, that’s said with BIBLE on HAND;

During your prime, you’re pictured as ZESTFUL and SPIRITED, such a splendid CHARACTER – –

Your being a Tagalog, with a mix of gentleness and hospitality, you’re deemed as so DEAR,

As I am sure too that being a TAGALISTA, you’d customarily spin a daily RIDDLER!

 

 

Pals like you born on April 16, share a passion for philosophy and a need for closeness, on the SIDE…

You’re creative by nature, and that’s one cause why your fine hubby, took you as BRIDE;

Those born on this day of April 16,  are also very friendly PEOPLE – –

Who don’t want to upset anyone, as they treat almost everyone as ACCEPTABLE,

They’re also very hopeful, who are able to see the best of every situation, that’s truly ADMIRABLE!

 

 

On  your natal day, on a SACROSANCT SUNDAY…

I wish to do a toast and a hollering HURRAY;

As to luck, your luckiest days are the MONDAYS and THURSDAYS of the WEEK – –

And your lucky numbers are  7, 16, 25, 34, 43, 52; or bet via 6/55 LOTTO’s  LUCKY PICK,

Try again, and again, for your luck could gracefully SNEAK!

 

 

MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN PONG MULI MAM CECILIA!

Nag-“OUTING” ang YOUNG LAW FIRM, upang makapag-REWIND….

Aba itong si MACKY, ay nagdala pala ng WINE;

At ito namang si DONNA na akala ko’y MATIGAS- –

Takot pala sa agos, gusto laang nya’y  mababaw na LAGASLAS!

Si FE at si TITA  naman, ay enjoy na enjoy at NAGTATATALON…

Bawat bugso ng agos ng malalaking ALON;

Si DONNA naman ay tunay palang na-HINTAKUTAN- –

Kaya siya ay nag-PLACING  katabi ni MACKY, bandang LIKURAN!

Ang mga tampok na kasama sa OUTING NA ITO…

Dapat ay si CONDER na kasama si “Mike TYSON” KUNO;

Wika ko naman kay Atty AYA BACLAO, na kaanak ni Kumpadreng MON- –

Isama mo ang utol mong pumasa sa BAR, at mabigyan sya ng kunting HAMON!

Isang HAMON na maglingkod sa ating GOBYERNO…

At mukhang ang mithi nya’y maging  NBI AGENT na TOTOO;

Mukhang kanyang tatahakin ang landas ni DIRECTOR LUDGI- –

Nag-umpisang maging AGENT, at sa mithing maging DIRECTOR ay

NAGWAGI!

Kaya naman kami’y napadpad sa LIPA CITY…

May-ari pala nitong RESORT ay isang SIS ni TENG sa APO FRATERNITY;

At syempre kami’y nagawaran ng 50 percent DISCOUNT sa dapat BAYARAN – –

Aba’y may commodious room na, ay may COTTAGE pang naging aming lugar ng KAINAN!

Cottage na malapit sa WAVING POOL SYEMPRE at TUMPAK…

At mababait ang mga staff, janitors, helpers at pati ang LIFEGUARD;

Meron pang ZOO at animo’y sang damukal na AVIARY- –

Yong OSTRICH kung tumilaok ay para bagang TIGRE!

At si JOMAR naman ay sobrang subsob sa REVIEWING…

Final exams na nga yata at lapit na ang BREAK na PARATING;

Pass daw muna sya at kailangan daw nyang MAG-ARAL ng HUSTO- –

Upang tuluyang makamit ang law diploma sa ARELLANO!

At ito namang si Atty. ROLLY Q. na ang palayaw ay KISSMI…

Madami daw syang deadlined pleadings, sobra daw talaga ang RAMI;

Kaya nag-pass na rin at kailangan daw MAGTRABAHO- –

Para daw si Mrs nyang DOCTORA ay ‘di MAG-ABURIDO!

 

At ito namang si Atty CEL GELLADA…

Na ang MRS ay MAGANDA;

May engagement din daw sila, syempre PRIORITY NILA- –

At itong si CEL ay palagiang hila ng ASAWA!

AT SIYEMPRE ANG ASAWA ANG BOSS, KAYA SI CEL AY ‘DI NAKASAMA!!

 

Have a MARVELOUS BIRTHDAY, my LOVE and my pulchritudinous FRIEND…

Those born on APRIL 8, have a nose for business, which is  EXCELLENT;

Your exceptional ability to be quick and sharp makes you SO WANTED – –

 You’re that person too who easily shows compassion for those in NEED,

You’re quick in extending a helping hand, that’s worthy of being EMULATED!

‘Twas good to learn early on, that you’re from NAGCARLAN…

A town in the province of LAGUNA which is my  native LAND;

I was born in SANTA CRUZ, the province’s CAPITOL – –

Nice to know that we’re “KALALAWIGAN”, a term that’s almost akin to  “UTOL”,

Kinship indeed, as we’re all brothers and sisters, in  GOD’s eyes, and that’s the Bible’s CALL!

 

An APRIL 8th birthday personality, like you are HUMBLE, as though a CUE…

ARIANS, though who are so independent, are strong and aggressive, ‘tis TRUE;

You can even intimidate people, but still you’re caring and AMIABLE JO – –

You like to do things on your own time and at your own PACE,

You’ve no empathy for lazy pals, as you’d surely oust them from your WORKPLACE!

 

You know too the value of constructive ENERGY…

You want people to work hand-in-hand, towards achieving SYNERGY;

You enjoy a good prank and you like to laugh so hard until it HURTS – –

Laughing is better than being upset, as it medicates our HEARTS,

With a gladdened heart – – peace, joy and prosperity would dawn upon the HOMES, the HEARTHS!

 

You also know the best way to solve anything: IS TO COMMUNICATE…

You like to be optimistic about life as it shows in your confident PORTRAIT;

You’d show your confident way of “walk” and “talk”, but you don’t ever PRATE – –

‘Cause you’re gracious and well-mannered, a virtuous lady with a clean SLATE…

Am not acting as though a SYCOPHANT, who seems so obsequious to PLACATE!

 

On your natal day, greetings from your loyal customer of TARPS and SIGNAGE sans LIGHT…

I wish to do a toast of MARGARITA with a hollering HURRAY, and  DELIGHT;

As to luck, your luckiest day is TUESDAY, which is the third day of the WEEK – –

And your lucky numbers are 9, 18, 27; add THREE more, for LOTTO to play, and please be QUICK,

But don’t forget to share “BALATO” from your winnings upon presenting the LOTTO SLIP!

Joke, joke, joke!

 

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE, MY EDNA!

MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN SAYO…

ANG  MAGANDANG SI MS. EDNA CO!

 

Happy birthday to you, well and winsome WILHELMINA…

This birthday greeting extends to iconic IAN, your hubby and your virtual  MISTAH;

This extends too to your neat kids, RICO and FRIA – –

A happy family, a bodacious bunch of OH LA LA,

Let’s sing to that with joy, even with a mere “TRA LA LA”!!

April 1 gals are sunny and enthusiastic about their RELATIONSHIP…

They’ve a magnetic charisma –  people around them feel as though they’re part of the KINSHIP;

 Their romantic relationship would at times, be sort of INTRICATE – –

But as they’re very friendly, especially with those who are sympathetic, it easily turns  DELICATE,

And as they’ve a lively character, they’d be a bit emotional, but so very ACCURATE!

You’re actually clad in an aura of quiet confidence and HONESTY…

Being garbed by such traits that have embraced you, so FITTINGLY;

Makes you so capable of inspiring enormous faith and trust in OTHERS – –

 Those traits and proclivity shared by ARIANS, like you, make you one among excellent LEADERS,

Sans any motive or desire for self-aggrandizement, as simplicity is your chosen DRUTHERS!

You’ve shown your creativity, and you’re truly WITTY…

The design and decor guru of our clan and FAMILY;

Hope you’d design a final cure AGAINST this still raging, though EBBING, corona VIRUS – –

With the help of your sister ANNE, who’s a doctor, so ASSIDUOUS,

Let’s take out its spite and venom, with a motif that’s truly GORGEOUS!

As we sing, the healing happy birthday SONG…

While we wash our hands, let’s all sing ALONG;

Let’s bash and trash-talk this corona VIRUS – –

Though, we’ve attained HERD IMMUNITY, that’s truly JOYOUS,

With a prayer that’s uttered like a song, so that it’d go away, as it gets FURIOUS!

As we make it furious and stressfully SORRY…

Not able to hop anymore into us, ‘cause we’re all clean and TIDY;

The virus will be swayed to freak out FAST – –

It will pass away and would surely PERISH AT LAST,

But let’s continue to be wary and safe, so that OUR CLAN won’t be doing another REPAST!

Mukhang talagang pasaway pa rin itong si CORONA…

Gabaan kani ng Dios, ani a karong AGA;

Return home ka na Miss VIRUS sa Wuhan, CHINA – –

Para naman si PINKY at si YAM at si JING ay makapag-birthday party ng ganap, mamaya sa 1120 HOUSE,

At makakain ng BUCATINI, FRUTTI DE MARE, RIGATONI at makatikim ng CHANDON ROSE!

Maligayang kaarawan sayo PINKY!

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas unto OUR ESTEEMED CHIEF JUSTICE…

You’ve brought unto our judiciary the much aspired-for PEACE;

You employed much fervor to stabilize a highly-politicized COURT – –

Your dedication and your WORKAHOLIC spirit, IN FACT, proved much WORTH;

Our people are PROUD and HOPEFUL, as we’re in good hands while you hold unto the SC’s FORT…

Profuse lauds and laurels have come your way, contained in such commendable REPORT!

 

NOVEMBER  6 SCORPIOS are passionate and romantic INDIVIDUALS…

As your good looks, I was told, has made you popular among COLLEGE GALS;

SCORPIOS’ relationships are the center of their LIVES – –

Though they may seem serious, whence jolly they’d enjoy doing HIGH-FIVES;

They know how to have a good time, as they aspire staying amidst good VIBES…

As an SCORPIO like you are possessed with good conduct; and bad conduct indeed, an SCORPIO  PROSCRIBES!

 

 

 

 

Your laudable feats at SC, evolved towards approbation of OUR PEOPLE, and it was truly in good TASTE…

As perceived by both our nation’s nobles and those of the lower CASTE;

So crucial indeed unto overall JUDICIARY’S SUCCESS, your SUCCESS too, as OUR CHIEF MAGISTRATE – –

And you’ve been dubbed as the: “PERFECT CHIEF JUSTICE FOR THE TIMES”,

Being biased in favor of COLLEGIALITY, which in our present tone and need HARMONIZES like virtual RHYMES …

It has proven to be most opportune, apt and proper during these crucial CLIMES!

 

Took hold of his pre-law education in B.S. ECONOMICS at the LYCEUM UNIVERSITY…

Thence, obtained his law tutelage at the ATENEO, with a Bachelor of Laws DEGREE;

Started working as a trial attorney at the OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR GENERAL – –

3 years later, was conferred the MOST OUTSTANDING SOLICITOR, which seemed to him as AU NATUREL;

As he’s indeed so diligent always, faced with the challenge of studying or working NON-STOP…

He was then acknowledged as one of OSG’s topnotch STAFF!

 

The best part of leading the judiciary, according to CJ GESMUNDO is: “the challenge of working NON-STOP”…

‘Twas his virtual riposte, as he spoke to the JBC,  during his plea for the top post, not wanting his aspired-for stewardship to FLOP;

“HE’S A WORKAHOLIC!” – – as one of CJ  GESMUNDO’s former staff  in  SANDIGANBAYAN, said as COMMENT – –

And CJ GESMUNDO took on lead roles in several committees on REFORMS and LAW REFINEMENT,

But as he put up a too low profile, not indeed mindful of  “SATISFACTION RATINGS”…

Still,  CJ GESMUNDO, won’t give up on his goals, akin to the main lesson in the movie: “LORD OF THE RINGS”!

 

A fellow SC magistrate describes CJ GESMUNDO, as a very private PERSON…

He’s pictured as good, kind, humble and meek just like an exacting  CHURCH PARSON;

He’s also averse to the spotlight, as he shuns the limelight, and to be the center of ATTENTION – –

For being HUMBLE indeed, is one of SCORPIO’S (born on November 6) main DESCRIPTION,

As in the traditional CHIEF JUSTICE MEETS THE PRESS, he brought the entire EN BANC with HIM…

And they in fact even sung with GUSTO, the SUPREME COURT HYMN!

 

 

Since CJ GESMUNDO took the helm in April 2021, at the SUPREME COURT in PADRE FAURA…

Extraordinary things that merited headlines, rained in news prints, like MANNA;

The issuance of strong and rare public statements against attacks on lawyers, was FOREMOST and FIRST – –

And the contested power of Metro Manila judges to issue search warrants outside of their spheres, GOT BURST;

Most markedly, the SC required police officers to wear body cams on operations, pointedly, those DRUG BUY-BUST…

With charges of extrajudicial killings purportedly by the police, “wearing of body cams” is now a MUST!

CJ GESMUNDO is a native of SAN PABLO in the province of LAGUNA…

According me some sort of affinity, as it’s the province of my late MAMA;

I was in fact born in LAGUNA’s capital, the town of SANTA CRUZ – –

And I was baptized as an AGLIPAYAN, as my clan in our town, always serves as Philippine Independent Church’s (“PIC”) HOST;

In fact, my maternal grandpa was one among AGLIPAY’s  minor CHURCH BOSS…

While my first cousin (i.e. Bishop RAUL TOBIAS) was once the P.I.C.’s HEAD BISHOP in NORTH AMERICA, evangelizing about 4 MILLION FILIPINOS!

CONGRATULATIONS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONCE AGAIN,

HON. CHIEF JUSTICE ALEXANDER G. GESMUNDO!

 

Maligayang kaarawan sa iyo “my suave nephew” ROMMEL…

Poging-pogi talaga “and he could dance so WELL”;

Habuling-habulin po ng mga ATENISTANG KOLEHIYALA- –

Pero mapili’t pihikan sa larangan po ng pag-ibig TALAGA,

Mukhang ang hanap nya’y prinsesita o PRINSESA!

Star dancer siya nun ng Company of ATENEO DANCERS…

Was a star too at CLARET during his jolly high school YEARS;

Though a real terpsichore expert and a dance WHIZ- –

He did not go against his loving and caring parents’ WISH,

Opted to focus on his scholarly pursuit, indeed his collegiate STUDIES!

I remember that he emerged as a true CHAMPION…

During a badminton tourney, in our clan’s playful REUNION;

ROMMEL really gave his best, and gave it ALL- –

With tears of joy cascading from his EYES,

‘Twas the taste of imminent victory and the sight was so really NICE!

Now as a responsible and diligent officer of MOTOLITE COMPANY…

He’s tremendously filled with energy just like the batteries’ EXPRESS DELIVERY;

As part of  MOTOLITE with a volley ball TEAM & ROMMEL as PAGE – –

Hope that ROMMEL’S DREAM GIRL is still UNENGAGED,

And she’d be ROMMEL’S tandem like love 💓 birds 🦅 in a CAGE!

Greetings on your natal day my debonair looking and a bit shy of a NEPHEW…

You’re full of will-power and much artistic talents, known only to a FEW;

You’re mysterious and also, so very INTERESTING- –

You rarely enjoy taking the center stage like a KING,

As you’d prefer working  on the sidelines or even behind the SCENE!

 

 

Happy birthday again to my nephew with keen INTELLIGENCE…

Your remarkable loyalty to friends, indeed truly make SENSE;

As you have the ability to bond with others on a spiritual LEVEL- –

In case you’d wander off to a place near a seeming TOWER OF BABEL,

You’ll be the unifier and the “uniter”, perhaps like the virtual king ZERUBBABEL!

And then and there you can marry a princess , or a QUEEN, or any righteous lady but not a JEZEBEL!

Happy happy birthday ROMMEL!

WELCOME TO THE

PHILIPPINES!

HER EXCELLENCY

AMBASSADOR MARYKAY LOSS CARLSON

BIENVENIDAS! Her EXCELLENCY, our ELEGANT  ENVOY who’s a pulchritudinous LADY…

You truly possess much diplomatic talent, on top of your BEAUTY;

And you regard our nation as the oldest TREATY ALLY in ASIA – –

FRIENDLINESS indeed emits and can be seen from your comely AURA!

You were once the DEPUTY CHIEF of MISSION in INDIA…

Served even as ACTING AMBASSADOR, managing 4 U.S. consulates as far as KOLKATA;

Guided by a humane trait of treating VISA suitors, with RESPECT- –

Respecting VISA suitors indeed, even non-qualifier, is totally CORRECT!

Your FRIENDLINESS is so truly ADMIRABLE and AMAZING…

You’ve shown your meekness, by joining those “MAHILAON”, for a pic, whose usual surname is SINGH;

I admire too your spiel, alluding to a long history of sacrifices between our PEOPLE – –

My DAD was a World War 2 USAFFE hero, as he was awarded a U.S. GOLD MEDAL!

Though I am now almost 73 years OLD…

I just had a 10-month FIRST granddaughter named ALEYNA, who’s so active and BOLD;

Her PATERNAL grandparents are raring to see and embrace HER – –

But they’re in CA, USA, and they want ALEYNA at XMAS to be THERE!

But my daughter SHAYNA who’s ALEYNA’s MAMA…

Lost his OLD PASSPORT which contains her still valid US VISA;

May I request a special accommodation for my daughter SHAYNA, from HER EXCELLENCY – –

It’d be a VISA RENEWAL (my daughter SHAYNA was told)  but the ONLINE QUEUE is so very FAR and HEAVY!

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS , SU EXCELENCIA!

You’ve been so  nice and so pulchritudinous my dear NHA COLLEAGUE…

And I believe that you’re the GREATEST architect, for you indeed belong to the BIG LEAGUE;

You were PRESIDENT of the UNITED ARCHITECTS OF THE PHLIPPINES twice, in its WONDROUS years INDEED – –

Starting from the days of yore, you were already, a competent and skilled NHA EMPLOYEE, who knows her DEED,

You’re always the topic of our talks, as you’re beauty and brains, and that’s said with a NOD, meaning ‘tis AFFIRMATIVE!

In those OCCASSIONAL get-together then, among ENGINEERS,  ARCHITECTS, and others, you’re the TOPIC…

As you have risen from the ranks; has matured and has eventually retired after becoming an EPIC;

Retiring from your NHA job with HONORS and awards that have become the award-grantors’ CUP OF TEA – –

You’ve become a great PRIDE to your clan especially unto your FAMILY,

You’ve proven yourself as PARAGON, for your clan’s and your architectural league’s POSTERITY!

You’re indeed a BIG LEAGUER, being a licensed architect, an environmental planner, and an ASEAN architect, TO BOOT…

The  4th lady president and 24th National President of the prestigious UAP, but you were never a SNOOT;

A graduate of the UST in Architecture, who holds a Diploma on Infrastructure for Low-Income Urban Housing from the Leicestershire UNIVERSITY – –

As well as armed with Diploma on  Shelter Design and Development, from Lund University in Sweden, that’s gracious architectural DIVERSITY,

And with  Masters degree on Government Management from the PLM, an esteemed university in our own COUNTRY!

You are  open-minded, SENSIBLE, CIRCUMSPECT, and so RESPONSIBLE…

Sensible means practical and reasonable and if you’re wearing sensible shoes, they’re sturdy, so COMFORTABLE;

You are also so caring and is prone to show much COMPASSION – –

Being one of the TOP BRASS then at NHA, you’ve indeed reached so much FRUITION,

Your family, I am sure,  got so excited, and you clan has experienced much JOYFUL FRISSON!

As a SAGITTARIAN,  who’s truly  CHEERY, CONFIDENT, in fact, an optimistic PERSON…

You like to do things differently, a little bit stubborn, despite the sermon of a seeming PARSON;

But you’re also very good-natured and you’ll not argue until your face is BLUE – –

Your life is always like a roller-coaster ride, as though waiting to ride in a QUEUE,

And you’d been so headstrong, at times, but with a surprising valid reason…SURPRISE indeed ala PEEK-A-BOO!

SAGITTARIANS like you  are a bunch of so very hopeful PEOPLE…

Mostly, they’re curious pals who love people, as they pine too to emerge as a lovable COUPLE;

You need and aspire for a positive FEEDBACK in all of your AFFAIRS – –

‘Tis only au naturel, for in work, and in love, as well  as about family, a SAGITTARIAN truly CARES,

And you are an admirable personality too, who also verily SHARES!

As you see, I want you to really help me with your still efficacious NHA CONNECTION…

People at NHA cannot surely say NO to a lovable and a BEAUTIFUL PERSON;

My litigation with NHA’s LEGAL has been so tedious and so kilometrically LONG – –

With your help, I hope that my poor clients, will praise you to high heavens with a SONG,

I will belt  the SONG  for you, attired in my TUXEDO suit, with an accompanying CUMMERBUND!

Happy birthday Sir, Attorney  Jack CASTANEDA…

Based on your zodiac sign Sir, you’re truly adored by your “INAMORATA”;

For you’re delightfully charming, broad-minded and PLACID – –

Affectionate and tenderly caring, making your lover label as truly VALID;

And in terms of FRIENDSHIP, you’re a true AMIGO, as your concern is so AVID!

The BULL born on  May 15  can be described as a team PLAYER…

You’re a lawyer who’s also marked out as a very hard WORKER;

People can count on you, as you are down to EARTH – –

You’re even sexy with a nice physique, sans a bulging GIRTH;

Honest and compassionate too, that’s why some women (I was told), unto you would FLIRT!

You desire the simpler things in life as opposed to EXTRAVAGANCE…

You love your home though and enjoy entertaining, SANS ARROGANCE;

And being a May 15 birthday boy means that you’re classically ACCOMMODATING – –

Most  TAUREANS  are foolish romantics who feel as though IN LOVE they’re quick in FALLING;

But you yourself is actually  so idealistic and child-like when it comes to seeking companionship, that’s your unique BRAND of LOVING!

You’re creative too and you seek to put things in a proper PERSPECTIVE;

Do not be surprised as with age, more friends will come to you, as you’re truly  FASCINATED;

Those friends value most your sagacious and clever ADVICE- –

All of them consider you as truthfully and so aptly WISE;

You seem to get your counsel from out of the SKIES!

Your appellation “JACK”, actually means “GOD IS GRACIOUS”…

That’s why perhaps most people feel your friendship is so very PRECIOUS;

You’re so pleasant and easy to get along with and you’re so TRUSTWORTHY – –

You’d surely do a charitable act pro bono, and would even refuse a fee even a PENNY;

You truly have pictured yourself among your patrons as KIND and DANDY!

You’re truly blessed with intelligence, charm and with rich IMAGINATION…

You’ve faithfully served our government, you’re a true asset to our NATION;

A true-blue THOMASIAN, who proudly carries its preeminent SEAL – –

A lawyer par excellence who labors and serves with unending ZEAL;

And would dish out so customarily a very reasonable BILL!

You’re an ubiquitous presence at the UST…

It would seem that alumni affairs have become your cup of TEA;

You’re diligently  active too in those yearly BAR OPS – –

Seeking and aiming to bring Thomasian bar examinees to ascend unto the TOPS;

That’s the reason perhaps for the succession of favorable results where UST, is OKS!

A true native of one of the richest agricultural regions of the PHILIPPINES…

Owing to its diverse cultural heritage rooted in centuries of glorious history, it SEEMS;

The PANGASINENSES’ way of life which is a delightful combination of tradition, innovation and CREATIVITY – –

Being a warm, and polite people, they carry the FILIPINO HERITAGE brand of HOSPITALITY;

In addition, you belong to a class of hard-working and fun loving people, which measures up to a sufficient dash of JOVIALITY!

On this your natal day, a sage adviser of this group, our revered Sir JACK…

I wish  to greet you with a loud hooray and much resounding WHACK;

The BAR exam’s wondrous achievements of your Alma Mater’s GRADS – –

‘Twas a result reportedly of your motivation, cheers, roots and PRODS;

You ought to be conferred an AWARD with  unending PRAISES and LAUDS!

Maligayang kaarawan po, Sir/Papang JACK!
