My MiJoRdGr Kittens were born on 4/24/2016, the day of the Final debate of our 2016
Presidentiables. That is why I named them after our 4 Presidential Candidates: Miriam Santiago,
Jojo Binay, Rody Duterte & Grace Poe. Of all the pet kittens I had, they are my most watched
and nurtured so I really wonder why they died so early.
1. She who was found stiff & cold on the 8th
day of the 6th
month is Mi.
2. He who was seen lifeless on July 8 was Jo.
3. He who was just like sleeping, but already dead on the 2nd
to the last day of the 5th
month was Rd.
4. She who died on the 118th
Anniversary of Philippine Independence was Gr.
I cannot stop comparing my MiJoRdGr Kittens with my MiJoRdGr Presdentiables. They
are amazingly similar to one another in some aspects. Let’s begin with the one who got the
highest number of votes.
1. She who was very like Senator Miriam was Mi. Like the senator, Mi was also smothered by
some kind of illness.
2. He who was compared to Vice President Jojo was Jo. Like the vice president, Jo also has a
dark complexion.
3. He who was associated to Mayor Rody was Rd. Like the mayor whose campaign color was red,
Rd also had a reddish coat.

has a campaign motif of white, Gr’s fur was also white.

3 out of the 5 2016 Presidentiables are from Region 6 that has 6 provinces. 4 provinces in
this region are in Panay Island. They are somehow progressive in their own ways. I already have
set foot on all of them.

foot on this province during a fieldtrip when I was in highschool.
2. Second in progress is Capiz. Its only city is Roxas City. I first set foot on this province during a
visit to relatives when I was in Grade 2.
3. Third when it comes to progress is Aklan. Although it has no city yet, it is there where you can
find the famous Boracay Island. I first set foot on this province during a Regional Quiz Bee
when I was on the 6th
grade.
4. Fourth in progress is Antique. Like Aklan, it has no city yet. I first set foot on this province
during a fieldtrip when I was in college.

are characterized by the 4 elements of nature: Air, Fire, Earth & Water.

water. In every medicine – like syrup, dextrose & vaccine – there is water.

an owl, a creature on air, symbolizing intellect.
