When
we had our return trip from Cebu to Tagbilaran yesterday morning all the way from
a legal commitment in Surigao City, leaflets were distributed in the Cebu pier
area regarding the comeback of Supercat in the Cebu-Tagbilaran-Cebu route.
What?
Yes, Virginia. Supercat has returned just like Batman after it mercilessly pulled
out its trips at a time when the Boholano riding public needed it most.
Starting
yesterday, it has resumed operations and we heard that there were 19 passengers
who boarded its "resumed" Tagbilaran-Cebu trip yesterday morning.

Not
only that. And this is the catch of its unceremonious resumption. It has pegged
the return trip at P210.
Our
highly placed source revealed that the Supercat and Oceanjet management met their
Weesam counterparts the other day in a last ditch effort to draw a compromise.
Apparently,
Supercat and Oceanjet are showing its true color by conniving to regain monopoly
in the Tagbilaran-Cebu-Tagbilaran route.
Our
memory is still fresh when Oceanjet and Supercat entered into a modus vivendi
to monopolize the route. Oceanjet pulled out its other routes in favor of Supercat
while the latter stopped its operations in Tagbilaran.
*
* * * * * *
There
was a public outcry against Oceanjet's poor services to its passengers. It even
earned the monicker "Oceanlate" not to mention the arrogance of its
ousted operations manager.
Enter
Weesam. Oceanjet sought protection from its patrons with the Maritime Authority
(MARINA) and protested that Weesam's seacrafts are too fast. The Boholano riding
public came to Weesam's rescue.
Now,
here comes Supercat once again. Sorry folks, but you are not welcome anymore.

We
are yielding our SP updates to this e-mail which has been circulating for quite
a time now but is still worth to brighten up your Sunday morning with a smile.
Here it goes:
A
little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad says, "Well
son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me
The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the
Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny,
we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him
the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So
the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later
that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He
finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So
the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting
to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room.
Finding
the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and see s his father in bed with the
nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The
next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand
the concept of politics now. " The father says, "Good, son, tell me
in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The
little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class while the
Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in
deep sh_t."
