Latepost: National sentiment

Dateline: 13 June 2018, Glorietta Activity Center, Makati City

In time for Independence Day, the 20th Global Pinoy Bazaar opened at the Glorietta in Ayala Center, Makati City, organized by Yabang Pinoy (Facebook), celebrating Filipino ingenuity. Rains dampened my drive for Independence Day liwaliw. But it also seemed to me that people were generally not in any level of celebratory mood. (But the usual polarities and negativity abound on SocMed - no amount of rain can stop them trolls.)

With reference to above Instagram post, a colleague told me that canned fish could actually be in a better position compared to Metro Manila's light-rail train commuters. Allegedly, some brands of canned fish only contain one or two pieces of fish that float comfortably in tomato or some other sauce.
