Bato Dela Rosa: The Crypt Keeper

If you think Bato Dela Rosa deserves a seat in the Senate then good for you. Have a cookie. But if you think it's a wonderful and appropriate idea to hang Bato's campaign poster in a cemetery then there are not words low and dirty enough to describe you. 


Why would anybody think this is a good idea? What kind of person would look at this mausoleum and think, "That's the spot. That's where I will hang this Bato poster." Maybe they are being ironic seeing as many thousands died during op-tokhang while he was PNP Chief. Probably not. There are a lot of campaign posters hung up in this cemetery so maybe they thought this would be a nice prominent spot out front where everyone can see the poster.


On the back wall of this mausoleum is a picture of its inhabitant.  


He looks none too pleased to have Bato's poster blocking the view. His name is Ramon De La Cruz Labrador.  Born August 31, 1938 and died September 11, 2013. 85 years of life and now his grave has been desecrated by Senate hopeful Bato. Let's take a closer look at Bato's poster.


Wow. It seems the city has spoken. Bacolod City chooses you Bato-chu!
