A Fresh Bubble

Slowly blowing bubbles make it sog and watery. Quickly blown bubbles are small and too uninteresting to enjoy. Only the bubbles blown by the right amount of air fly high and get noticed by all. Precision is a tactic in bubble-making. Too vague and bubbles become harder to make.


Isko either slowly or quickly blows bubbles when given the chance. Of all the bubbles he created, only a few small ones remain. The bigger ones popped, and it almost rained.

He wants a bubble, of course, but he has trouble making one. He’s lucky to have some bubbles blown effortlessly but when tries to do it forcefully, no bubbles form. It’s pretty confusing how he wants his bubble to be. But we know, we've seen this bubble before. It's a winnable move or so at least the last election made it seem.


But one thing is clear, his bubble resents other bubbles. He's neither with the biggest bubble nor the highest one; he has a bubble for bubble's sake. He serves a specific 'silent majority' who does not want Leni nor Bongbong; who wants a fresh face in an old seat.


It's not too easy to believe that the bubble exists. For one, the bubble fragments as the day of reckoning come. He's almost like another bubble whose power has been reduced. But he knows how to patch holes and so the bubble remains. 'It doesn't hurt,' he says after a faction joins a bigger bubble.


He's made it far beyond anyone's measure if we go way back. He's no ordinary bubble; he resents other ones. Bilis Kilos was the approach—how fast a blow! But it went slowly unsurely to God First. It appeals somehow to the masses who've been fed up with the rivalry of the old.


He wants to be no ordinary bubble.
