Eat Bulaga's new theme song:
Mula Ninoy hanggang Cory. |
Of course, public outrage ensued once people learned the plan of a certain solon from Bohol to
change the name of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (colloquially EDSA) to Cory Aquino Avenue, in honor of Corazon Aquino, Philippine "mother of democracy" and mommy of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. Although we understand the intentions of the solon to pay tribute to Cory, but renaming an avenue regarded as a hell-hole (traffic, potholes, whatnots) after Tita Cory? She just might rise from her grave and haunt this man and do whatever scare tactics she has up her sleeve to stop this bill from passing. This reminds me of another renaming stint involving the a man from Manila. Things got ugly (read: vehement opposition) the last time a certain Aquino fanatic tried to officially rename the internationally-regarded
Manila Science High School to Cory Aquino Science High School two years ago. But after he realized that everyone from the MaSci community opposed his plan, he eventually backed-off and just had a statue of the former president built and erected somewhere in Manila.
