As I woke up, I saw and watch part of the Oscar Awards’ Live Telecast in the Philippines. Although I love watching movies, I’m not really interested with Oscar Awards or any movie awards. Today is the 22th Anniversary of Edsa Revolution and a non working holiday. A good timing for those who want to stay at home and watch the Oscar Awards night in Hollywood.

It just so happen that to commemorate the People Power Revolution, cause oriented groups in Cebu will be having their “Okray” Awards for corrupt Government Officials. “Okray” is a popular Filipino slang word which roughly means to demean or criticize.

The nominees for…

The “Best Corruptor/Corruptress” award - President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Former Presidents Joseph Estrada and Fidel Ramos.

The “Best Corrupter” award - former Commission on Election Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr., Maguindanao election officer Lintang Bedol and former election commissioner Virgilio Garcillano.
The “Bootlickers” award - House Speaker Prospero Nograles, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye, Philippine National Police Director General Avelino Razon and Presidential Management Staff head Cerge Remonde.

The “Missing Link” special award - former National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) and now Commission on Higher Education (Ched) chairman Romulo Neri.

“Star of the Year” awards - ZTE-NBN deal star witness Rodolfo “Noel” Jun Lozada Jr. and “Hello, Garci” controversy witness Vidal Doble.
