It must be Taft, err, tough, getting spelling right for the technocrats at Manila’s Light Railway Transit.

After that embarrassing signage announcing that train riders have arrived at the “National Bureau of Investagation,” yet another booboo was discovered by observant commuters.

It was also on the Taft Avenue stop where the sign says “University of Philippines Manila” (now covered up). But let’s give it to the LRT management: perhaps there wasn’t much space to add “the” to the signage.

Nevertheless, our fly on the wall tells us that LRT is now recruiting for spelling experts, preferably former kid champions of the National Spelling Bee!

Ah, the Philippine Senate, that bastion of legislative wisdom, has once again set its sights on the most pressing national issue of our time: the LRT 1 signage controversy. 

Forget about economic woes, political instability, or social inequality; what the people truly crave is an investigative hearing on a sign directing commuters to Taft Avenue and the mythical “National Bureau of Investagation.”

One can only imagine the riveting debates that will unfold in the hallowed halls of the Senate chambers. Senators will surely summon experts to dissect the intricacies of signage design and typography, while the nation holds its breath in anticipation of groundbreaking revelations.

Meanwhile, as the Senate gears up for this monumental inquiry, one can’t help but wonder: will this probe finally uncover the truth behind the mysterious misspelling, or will it simply be another theatrical display of legislative grandstanding? Truly, the fate of the nation hangs in the balance.
