Huli na ang mga matsing, masyadong mabagal mag bigay nang parangal. Minarapat na mamatay muna si Pidol bago pag dibatihan kung dapat bigyan parangal si Pidol. Hindi lang pala pulis ang huli sa eksena pati mga nasa lower house pala. Multuhin mo kaya mang Pidol?

Much better if the nomination comes the Evaluation Committee provided by law, to insulate it from politics. I think Dolphy would have preferred it that way.
