It is said that there is a magic mirror in Malacanang that slaps anybody who tells a lie.

Sen. Juan Flavier passed by the mirror and said “I think I’m tall,” and the mirror slapped him.

Then came President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. “I think I’m the prettiest woman in the Philippines,” and the mirror slapped her.

Then passed Former President Erap and said “I think . . .,” and the mirror slapped him.
