Fahd
as told to Ismael Escobar
MANILA -- I THOUGHT I am No. 17. Why did your brother B told me I’m already 23rd, and there are many others after me. That’s aside
from the 14 papas and 16 gays you have had in your unusual career as a
casanova spanning four decades, covering 20 towns in four countries and
three oceans, and producing 108 children, 90 of whom borne without the
protection of a valid marriage license (hell, didn’t my family hire
professional camera men on our small island wedding ceremony so that you
will not deny me just in case our contract is rendered null and void?),
others not knowing their real biological father (might not be you for
faster alimony), while some would rather not remember you at all. Of the
54 love affairs and counting, how many knows you have impregnated your
own daughter twice, forced abortion thrice, faked marriage licenses 51
times, and even rejected 78 job applicants in the last two years simply
because teenagers don’t want to be a part of your harem, members of whom
all want to be a part of society, never mind if M was unceremoniously
dropped from the shortlist of Binibining Pilipinas hopefuls before for
eating sandwich at Pizza Hut (a big no, no to writer’s senior colleague
and pageant Executive Vice President Pitoy Moreno who was dismayed at
her taste, language proficiency and pedigree), C contracted infections
for not washing her mammary glands, J used charcoal to clean her behind,
I applied deodorant on her lips, and even W who wore bra on her back as
if a knapsack. If I know these things, ‘tis because everything should
be transparent and see-through for all of us girlfriends coming from the
barrios from mascara to eyebags treatment, panties to fragrances, never
mind if we end up wearing the same stolen clothes, using the same panty
liners, and even spraying the same Bambini, a cheap local cologne. What
is important is walang nakakalamang. I may be “payment” for Father’s
unpaid “seawall house,” but how about the two beauty queen sisters you
have sired with children for three consecutive years simply because A
has been having affairs with lawyer P, and cousins A and A at the same
time, with one she still secretly meets abroad? Does she know P is also
the papa of your brother B? Or bold actor GV who has been your hot
Mandaluyong papa for one year now after romancing showbizville studs GA,
MS, RZ, CL, CM and AB, with GV having illusions that he will get a
share of stock from a beer company after successfully egging you into a
gay partnership last August 24, 2012 (excuse me, fake, it is not the
first time, and his kind only gets a s**t!). May I know too who is
better between actors FP, RF, RR, BR, WM, RA, EM, AG, AM, boxing
champion LE and stupid classmate CEO FZ? When you boasted of having wild
and raunchy romps with some presidents, heads of state, Hollywood hunks
AS, CE, BR, CS, VK, HF, vulgar ‘80s female pop icon M, boxer MA,
international pageant producer DT, among others, were you not
condescending me as insignificant and dependent that I should even kneel
before you? Well, shame on you too because I caught you in the same or
similar boat before, kneeling before rival paramours in half slips or
T-backs stolen from neighborhood sampayans (clotheslines), being
splashed with urine from N’s pink arinola (chamber pot), defraying the
costs of lover B’s wedding, “praying” in the finale of V’s mussel brief
dance with butt (and ringworm) exposure, and gyrating as the ultimate
drag queen in P’s “island version” of Indian gay aromasutra, with smoke
billowing not from incense but from assorted dried leaves dropped into
four drums.
As a result, all of us from the Manila
socialite with long tresses to the top politician’s wife, gypsy faith
healer to the guest relations officer (GRO), and even the ex-nun to the
elementary teacher, are feuding for everything – attention, empathy,
respect, self-esteem, flavor of the month honors, and even the shameful
“Most Stupid” award. On top of it all, MONEY, the main reason why we
drop our panties in just one nudge. Don’t tell me we are fighting for
inheritance that will never be ours like Facebook (FB) and Yahoo (just
rented, I confirmed) unless official family? I don’t think you will be
proud too if your children end up again as call boys, Pharaoh GROs,
“Cristy Per Minute” rumor mongers, Divisoria fish vendors, Las Vegas
vaudeville dancers, Riyadh “waiters,” Hong Kong sales ladies, janitors,
house boy, PC operator and even a defense specialist who doesn’t even
know what “weapon” is all about. Is the fact that we have stopped
growing after making deals with you enough damage? We don’t even know
how to talk or face people, yet all of us aspire to be CEOs and artistas
in spite of our show-and-tell culture, EF lifestyles, crude manners,
poor eating habits, wrong grammar, cheap tastes and vaunted guerrera
stance, with the latter often ending in screaming “Face to Face”
slapping and hair pulling at the barangay hall or calling a lawyer who
makes it more difficult for all of us.
Your siblings
are just as worse, with many not knowing each other even if some are
spitting images of one another, blame it on the “legacy” passed on by
your father O thinking he will live forever, only to die prematurely for
choosing an ordinary doctor intern and sticking to your X town policy
instead of hiring the best cardiologist in the country. Just like us, I
know they are fighting for rights, positions, contracts, quasi
agreements, etc. But B as a professional representative? Bull, he
doesn’t even know anything; S, A and T’s mothers have to bypass him!
SHARE IS BESIDE THE POINT. THE POINT IS NEGOTIATED BLACK AND WHITE OR
NOT? WHAT SHOULD BE HIDDEN? WHERE WOULD WE HIDE THEM, ETC. ETC.? IF NO
ONE FACES, HOW CAN I CLARIFY MATTERS ESPECIALLY YOUR PLAN TO EMBARRASS
YOUR OWN SON M, ETC. ETC.? RESPECT OF AN INSIDER, DON’T YOU REALIZE IT? I
NEED NO LAWYER OR JUDGE. IF TOO SMALL, WOULD I GO TO COURT STILL WHEN
YOU CAN JUST OFFSET THEM IN ONE BIG CASE TO REDUCE THE TRASH? STUPID W! I
won’t file a case within your areas of jurisdiction where outrageously
cheap questions like “What do you do when you have sex with him? How
much do you pay for a pokpok (prostitute)?” and “What is the brand of
his briefs?” making their way to FB’s most hilarious pages. If it was B
who advised J not to entertain any communication, it is because he wants
to get the money, and he didn’t do anything! For that, J is always
“punished” every eight hours as they do in Alcatraz. Meaning, repeatedly
sodomized like lawyers P, C, R, etc. W, L, C and V will surely suffer a
worse fate. A knowledge society now rules in J’s station, and most have
failed its most strict logical standards including your father, B, V,
H, W, T, etc.
The community impacts of all your
beliefs and 30th World rules and procedures are also negative. No world
class professional has ever joined your companies, and two generations
of lost aides speak much of your mismanagement, incompetence and greed
because so long as money is involved, we will stake a claim or take on
any work on top of our permanent jobs even if we don’t know anything.
Or, we won’t do anything at all. Didn’t A left for the US because you
gave him a pittance rate as a bank vice president? Didn’t you feel
guilty after doctors M, R and S “returned the compliment” of your two
decades of snobbery? Was not pet niece “Princess Urduja” A neglected too
that she decided to migrate to Canada instead? If sports aficionado M
now demands an astronomical rate, ‘tis because you underestimated him
before. Finally, the most exceptional case of E who shot to fame and
legitimacy right away after college, and who continues to reinvent
himself in various fields (compatriot D has lower IQ and limited forte).
Must he wait for 20 years? Raw! Not their group (writers behind ½ of
the country’s film classics and even soft porn like “Scorpio Nights” and
“Ang Pinakamagandang Babae sa Balat ng Lupa,” as well as brains behind
many soap operas and TV shows from “Batibot” to “Encantasia”) where one
is the equivalent of a BATALLION, and where PXXXK is not an acceptable
rate as a newspaper editor or film writer. Neither does it accept
sex-save-all people. Twenty (20), not 40, and no need for contests since
members always win if clean. They don’t have cases too as proof that
they are cut above the rest. In short, PROFIT for those mainstream!
Finally, WHY WOULD PROS JOIN IF THEY CAN EARN BETTER WITH US PATENTS OR
EVEN JUST A FEW BLOGS? ONE FILING ENOUGH! Right B? Even SC chief now
imposes at least US diplomat level rate as token.
You don’t have a program, system, timetable, supplemental support,
bases, etc. for those who can help or save you on a professional level.
The world has evolved but why hasn’t you? You should have picked them up
long ago when they were just peaking! Clearly, one problem is your
scouts. Most don’t know anything. They are the ones who are not
professionals, another car group led by J! For some businesses, image is
not necessary. She doesn’t even know that L is the real RB of X Films,
and that A enjoys the same perks as other high-profile CEOs. She might
even be disappointed once she finds out that D fumbles in every party, B
is not a billionaire, and that A can only afford pancit malabon and a
small house near a university.
Must it always be
this way? Things would scatter first before you make any ACTION? Where
is the decency and breeding in all that? We are just fooled by lawyers
and scalpers who want to steal our money! My cases demand confidential
talks; we need to resolve them on a professional level, and you are the
only one who can finally lay to rest all my questions and concerns prior
to peaceful filing or offsetting, some of which are as follows:
1. WOULD I STILL FILE CASES FOR THIS AND THAT? There are new and
simplified rules for divorce, child support, etc.! Should we follow
them? What is the minimum for filing? Is it also true that you are
waiving the evidences requirements for a young blood’s first set of
cases because business classic “Batang X” has new personas again (the
24th already starting with your own Superman) in Spiderman, Gumball and
even SpongeBob SquarePants (handiwork of FB kid addicts A, W and even
your son M); HK can be easily traced given its fixed circulation time
and writer’s networks like A, F, G and B, etc. that he better
concentrate on other accounts? How about 20th Century Fox, Universal
Records, Mexico’s TV Azteca, etc.? Some needs DIPLOMATIC CLOSURE too
because big that’s why per shipment.
2. INTERNAL MECHANICS
3. TIMEFRAME
4. NEGOTIABLES
5. INTERNAL PROCEDURES so that my cases are already clean once made public
6. LEVELS OF AUTHORITY
7. TECHNOLOGY
8. OTHERS
Do you think PLDT employee R can handle these? How about philosopher G?
Can golden jubilarian G resolve them too? Does she know you and I keep
many secrets? Where do I draw the line? No judge or lawyer needed since
these are always DEALS up. What do you like? Public scandal and
humiliation which are our biggest fears or net loss? Anyone with common
sense would easily refer me to the right authority, and all of your
subordinates have always failed. Macho R’s claim is another thing, and
only a same or higher wavelength guide can do it. Face and you will see.
Anyone who does not do so or unable to analyze and articulate a
spirit’s idea right away is considered FAKE.
Rx? Four, as follows:
• TALK. I DON’T THINK IT IS ETHICAL FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW MY CASES.
THEY ARE BETWEEN THE TWO OF US. WHY SHOULD WE ALLOW OUTSIDERS? SINCE
CLOSE AND PROFESSIONAL, YOU SHOULD SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH PRIOR NOTICE
BECAUSE I’M ALSO ON TRAVEL AT TIMES. Many things can be easily solved in
just one sitting. Must it take you years to realize that? What if you
die now? If you can no longer do it, somebody with same vested powers
should, and the earlier latter is exposed to these highly confidential
matters, the better. Anyway, it is latter’s decision that will be
followed once you die. The rest can be dispensed with by others.
• SYSTEMS OVERHAUL. IF MANY THINGS ARE ALREADY BEYOND CONTROL, IT IS
BEST MAGPALIIT (DOWNSIZE) UNTIL ALL VARIABLES BECOME STABLE, shutting
off all bad elements until a perfect or a near-perfect world scenario is
achieved. It might be difficult at first since it would run counter to
your outdated values and beliefs but that’s how we learn, and it becomes
more dynamic when we start interfacing with open system groups.
• RAISE YOUR STANDARDS. Enough of the buto-buto (bones) or damit-damit
(dress) groups, stupid color coding technology, or spectral/visual
assessment which is not reliable as compared to KNOWLEDGE. Once you
reach higher levels, it becomes easier because no garbage, i.e.
kabalens, is allowed, with mechanisms to curb recurrent costs. The rules
are different too that’s why most are afraid of A. Everyone knows
everybody else and E’s colleagues don’t even know or like us. You can
date all the women in the world but choose wisely if you want to get
another wife. VALUES is one thing, ACTION and RESULTS are another. There
are standards for both, and most always fail.
• LOGIC WITH
VALUES. What two-way street or patalikod (about face) are you talking
about? These are signs of weakness because you can’t do your work or
resolve problems cleanly and independently. If at all you will just
react instead of act, where is the advancement in all that? Even if you
do good things, logic dictates that they don’t have any bearing at all
because you skirted the real issue. Must you wait for the resolution of
cases too if a person is already dying, as the case of V’s father who
even helped your cousin H land a job in Supreme Court? Ingrate! Where is
the logic in all that? YOU MUST ALSO PASS THE RULES UP. Once you commit
a crime including crimes of the spirit, be responsible for it and solve
it on time. No reactionary laws should be allowed.
For all the younger women, my only advice is think rationally and fast
because after all the melodramas, you will just be replaced or dropped. I
am a generation older than you. I know better. It is a vicious cycle
that breeds the perpetuity of same bad culture as well as a gray world
that refuses to change. If you or your children are not given any plum
post/s in spite of his countless promises, ‘tis because there are
different standards, and if Fahd will just be humiliated, latter will
surely dump you. It happened to me 25 years ago. Better accept your
limitations and don’t work in banks, media, utilities, diplomatic corps,
international organizations or transnational conglomerates.
Back to Fahd, I just hope you learned your lesson from all these or you
will be forever be worlds behind, stealing pustiso (false teeth) as if
the item is not customized, defecating on the stove (according to your
own father O) or on the mat, entertaining thoughts of butt augmentation
at age 72, and even washing your face in a Chinese style or squat toilet
bowl. All the decades of respect [as the naïve early bird making sutsot
on your muta, tattered pajamas and even your lisik (phallus) peering
out of your short shorts because you wore no john, and other wonderful
mid-‘70s memories] gone to waste because of …? Two decades enough! I
need to survive. I need to feed my family. I may be the same babe who
talks directly to the ordinary A, only that I freak out now if not
treated professionally because I managed to make it on my own. I’m so
mad at you now that my younger brother made you a character in the 1998
Eric Quizon starrer “Pusong Mamon” (Soft Hearts) and in “Sibak: Midnight
Dancers.” Since your remaining wives also like confrontational acts, he
made them his inspiration too behind the screaming ABC-5 show “Face to
Face.” Right, Aetas near the A bridge?
I pause for a reply.
