The "Makapal" Controversy

After blurting it out, those in the media already were already rewinding their tapes and listening to it. Was it "Makapal" or "Makapag"? Among the media, the "Makapag" were the Team Yap and the "Makapal" were the "Team Brian." Meaning, there are far more members of the "Team Brian." Common sense would tell you that if he said, Makapag, why did he have to repeat it and not just continue? Maybe it's Freudian. But more so because he has a lisp. He stuttered five times in his speech.
But PGMA's flubbing his name is a class act. That's the humor I wanted from the President not sending him to Basilan like what she did with the class goat years ago. Have fun! Malamig dito sa Baguio pero not anymore.
