‘Kutsara ka ba?’ and other fresh one-liners from Miriam

Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago never seems to run out of quirky one-liners.

 

The feisty senator on Thursday delivered a new set of “pick-up” lines and jokes at a forum in Makati attended  by representatives from banks and other financial institutions. The senator used these lines to start a speech on the Philippine government’s controversial $1-billion loan to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). 

 

Here are some of Senator Santiago’s new one-liners:

 

“Can you recommend a good bank? Coz I’m planning to save all my life for you.”

 

“Kutsara ka ba? Kasi papalapit ka pa lang, napapanganga na ako.”

 

“Kapag namatay ako, huwag na huwag kang pupunta sa libingan ko. Baka kasi tumibok ulit ang puso ko.”

 

“Gusto mo ba ng trabaho? Mayroon sa DPWH. P10,000 per day. Ikaw ang speed bump.”

 

“Gusto mo ng isa pang ng trabaho? Mayroon sa PLDT. Ikaw ang dial tone.” — Andreo Calonzo/RSJ, GMA News
