It's been so ingrained in the Pinoy life that it's permeated not just the day to day activities of families and individuals, but also the highest levels of government.
Take the case of Vice President-elect Binay. In the past two weeks since he'd been proclaimed, we've read and heard how he wanted to become the DILG chief, and how he'd been offered instead the DOTC cabinet post.
President-elect Noy Aquino told the public he'd never offered the DOTC post because he'd never talked to Binay.
After days of negative write ups about him, Binay today proclaimed that he never asked for the DILG post, and said he recognized it is the president's prerogative to appoint or not to appoint the vice president to a cabinet post.
So, all this brouhaha about Binay wanting the DILG post now seems to be a product of every one's imagination. Of course there's such a thing a "leaking" it to the press and letting the pubic react to it.
In Binay's case, the public pulse beats clearly. The people approves of Aquino's strong and formidable show of leadership, and disapproves of Binay's seemingly "bullying" tactic.
I think Binay who's so used to being the Chief, is simply trying the Pinoy "kung makakalusot lang naman," or maybe it would fly, who knows.
In the case of Kris Aquino and husband James Yap, rumour has it that the wife left the abode with two kids in tow.
Kris Aquino's life has captured the pubic's imagination; she'd been very successful at openly talking about her life in public that millions of Pinoys have continually watched her programs and bought her magazine.
To countless of people, rumour can add spice or poison to life. I'm sure one time or another, you have been either a victim or perpetrator of rumour, knowingly or unwittingly.
