NOW SHOWING:

The Jamby Horror Show


Hey, hey yo! The telenovela our favorite Senadora Jamby promised us has began with her attorney Ernesto Francisco, Jr. questioning not the legality of her Tita Chito’s last will but that of the latter’s lawyer Enrile Teodoro to act in the deceased’s behalf.


STOP IT!!! Pleads Jamby with the court. Teodoro “is not clothed with the requisite legal personality” to begin distributing her tita’s fortune to her beneficiaries cuz the attorney-client relationship ceased when the client died. Yan ang sabi da.


Follow nyo ang logic? Bakit kaya nag-hire pa ng abogado si Tita Chito (who, by the way, was an abogada de campanilla in her own time) kung wala naman pala itong silbi? Asking, asking, asking…


Rewind to the recent past. A sample of Jamby logic: She wonders why Senadora Pia is fond of racing when “she is not a horse.” In a very poor imitation of Senadora Miriam, she then stages a walk-out cuz she does not want to “deal with a spoiled brat.”


Hohum. Am moved to tears. Ang hirap gumawa ng eksena.
