Historic

This song was one of the informal theme songs of the historic Million People March in Luneta today: the  music video uses materials that Janet Napoles’s daughter, Jeane Napoles, uploaded in her social media account – such as videos of her posh “ooh-lala” 21st birthday party, fortuitously themed “Jeane Napoles at 21: Legalized”.  Janet and Jeane Napoles both admitted that the goods are gifts of the mom to her daughter.

 

These ceased being private the day Janet Napoles was investigated by the DOJ for  allegedly making away with 8 to 10  billion pesos in pork  (or at least 30% of it, with 70% going allegedly to Senators Enrile, Jinggoy, Revilla, Honasan, et al) (for the worldwide audience: pork refers to the pork barrel or the so-called Priority Development Assistance Fund, given to each congressman and senator; Janet Napoles served as conduit –setting up bogus non-government organizations named as “recipients”. )

“Tumbling-hair

             picker of buttercups

                                  violets

dandelions

And the big bullying daisies

                            through the field wonderful

with eyes a little sorry

Another comes

             also picking flowers  ”
