AND like all writers who truly understand the dynamics of writing, I also have that ability (like all other writers around) to use figures of speech when expressing a thought, idea or an emotion either to magnify or minimize its meaning and impact.
So when I say: “If you hurt my daughter, I’ll kill you” it’s an expression of profound love of a father although a malicious mind could easily take it for its literal value and impute something else.
Here, I’m showing two slides culled from one and the same statement by Lorraine Marie T. Badoy on a “certain” decision by a “certain” Judge Malagar which enablers and collaborators of the CPP-NPA-NDF have exploited to the hilt if only to demonize the erstwhile spokesperson of NTF-ELCAC.
What he means is simple: If Judge Malagar is saying that it is okay to kill people like Kieth and Nolven Absalon, to kill children like the Rano massacre, to kill civilians and to kill mercilessly by the NPA to the thousands who were WITH them during the “purging” because it was their “political belief”… what if the “purging” of questionable members of the judiciary is also a “political belief”?
If, what if, so, what if, if. Is that a threat? Oh! Don’t be stupid!
Again, true-blooded writers like the prolific Lorraine Marie T. Badoy use syllogism, metaphor, apostrophe, assonance, hyperbole, irony, metonymy, paradox, personification, pun, simile, synecdoche and understatement which are among the many figures of speech writers- old and new, past and present- use to stress a point.
If youdon’t understand that, problema n’yo na ‘yun.
Mind you, I share Dr. Badoy’s sentiments and her rage over that ABOMINABLE decision.
See the difference in context between the two, especially when a single important paragraph is omitted.
Also, since I am a writer, a reporter who covered practically all beats, I have friends and informants all over.
I am sharing here, too, a privileged information given by a veteran SC and Justice beat reporter (which I covered back in the 90s, by the way) about how a certain Edre Olalia of NUPL went around soliciting support from various lawyers groups against Badoy.
Boss chips, we know what’s going on there.
I’m not passing judgment on anyone, just sharing information.
My point is, Badoy and I swore to fight to the death so don’t scare us with just JAIL.
You can’t scare us, you Put@ng Am@!
POPCORN PLEASE!
