That clumsy arrest gave glory-seeking Dinky what she wanted
BY THE WAY By Max V. Soliven

Talk about police mentality. By the wide smile on her face when she got front page treatment, it’s evident that former Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman – who had almost been forgotten – got what she wanted. When Dinky and her confederate, Vicente Romano, a convenor of the Black-and-White Movement, undertook their march on Roxas Boulevard attired in uniform black T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "patalsikin na, now na !"(In effect meaning "oust GMA now") followed by a small pack of protesters, they clearly hoped to provoke onlooking policemen into arresting them.

The police obliged. After her ploy worked, the photographers accompanying the marchers snapped Soliman being seized by a policewoman. The photo, as she had expected, landed on the front pages of the newspapers. Dinky piously huffed after being nabbed that they were only on Roxas Boulevard for a walk, not a demonstration. Indeed, the group did not carry any placards or banners by way of anticipating her "defense". Just like the showboat she is, however, Dinky did not forget to put in that blue streak in her hair. (Sometimes the streak is fuchsia, green, pink or orange ostensibly to match her costume).

Susmariosep! The overzealous cops ought to have treated Dinky like the annoyance she is, not some serious subversive. Truly it was a blue day for the policemen. Oh well, we live and learn.
