FIRST PLANE OUT

The King and Queen were in Downtown Abbey when PR 521 broke through the quarantine into 123rd Street, home of the Brookly Pizzas and Bay Area Tacos who brawled in the Greek Kitchen of Bassac Lane over two bottles of Prosecco and the pita bread and dip that were soggy with Margarita and wheat beer that's almost the spilled lok lak along Mao Tse Tung Boulevard but smelled like the Orussey Noodles of the 63rd.   

On Wednesday night, Werner Ziegler met with regional programs and the influencers to consult on how to sell burner phones and grilled chicken burgers through The Box Office for the benefit of Lalo Salamanca's battle of the beers, Cambodian Angkor versus German Ganzberg versus bootleg craft, where the 57th's beef cha kroeung is wrapped in useless travel insurance papers and sold with the 63rd's pork salad and worthless travel declarations while at the 174th, Jimmy celebrated the reinstatement of his proof of vaccination with small plates of hors d'oeuvres and dribbles of red wine in huge glasses. 

The luggage lost was returned before the first plane out got swabbed for its flight back to Bakal 2 where Pugad Baboy awaits to know if the pork ribs and beef curry at 13 corner 136  are still the same pork ribs and beef curry from three years ago, or has it homogenised into a gellato, mixed with a neat whiskey shot and poured into a highball glass at #50 along 306 where the tamagoyaki, California maki and salmon sashimi were chilled in blocks of frozen tamarind juice.

Season 4 was declared closed by the airport check-in counter at 11:40 pm when the Phantom Biker was advised to Better Call Saul in a beer garden at 135 corner 464 where the grilled fish and meat were served by provocatively dressed greeters who mixed gin tonic like a midnight Cuba libre in an almost empty airline lounge...    

OPERATION GoldenGirl

The compound across the banauang in Almaguer is the enclave of the Salamancas who in Season 2 hired Mike to punish Nacho for prescribing a lethal medication to Don Hector, a medical negligence that spurred Jimmy and Kim into private practice and the opportunity of putting down Chuck who owed them a dinner of samgyeopsal, dinakdakan, tokwa't baby, inihaw na panga ng tuna and the company of the Thursday Group who meets in Bakal 2 every Tuesday.

On the 19th of May, Natalya Simanova feted Pugad Baboy to Alba's secret menu of tapas (callos a la madrilena, gambas al ajillo, salachichas con champignon, jamon serrano, tortilla espanola), paella valenciana, a dessert of canonigo and chocolate tower and a bottle of the house wine (Los Molinos) to keep them away from the nuclear electromagnetic pulse space-based weapon (codenamed GoldenGirl).

Gus arrived in Albuquerque in Season 3 to punish Chuck with false electric shocks for having Jimmy's law practice suspended just because the pancakes served at the Daiesumi Digital Cafe doesn't look like pancakes at all, so Better Call Saul who sent Alec Trevelyan on the 20th of May to entertain Pugad Baboy with fillet mignon, pepper steak, and barbecued boneless chicken and baby back ribs at Alfredo's through a covert operation codenamed Golden Girl. 

On the 21st of May, Agent X-44 convened his operatives at Tropical Hut to launch Operation GoldenGirl at Wang Fu and she liked her Lucky Birthday Noodles so much she blinked before General Tso's chicken and the crunchy sweet and sour pork with lychee, chicken rice, hakaw and chicken feet were served.

After more than two years and just two days in the bike trails, GoldenGirl turned 50 as the Phantom Biker finally touched down in Phnom Penh to begin the era of international travels in the time of the pandemic...

THE MYSTERY OF MARILYN MONROE and HOW IT ENDS

She overdosed on barbiturates.

The mystery is why Attorney General Robert Kennedy and the FBI covered up her death as narrated in The Unheard Tapes that Atty. Will Younger played for the Thursday Group during a Tuesday dinner of tokwa't baboy in Bakal 2 while Seattle and the West Coast were being vaporized by a giga-volcanic eruption and the conclusion of a disappointing election in the Philippines. 

Ruth was in fact a redneck Marilyn Monroe but she was shot in Ozark by Wendy who wants to remain as Louise Harrington, the MILF of Morningside Heights once known as Marta Cabrera of Bakal 2 in her younger years, she who took the Knives Out to prepare french fries for Wednesday night after Bulan boarded the bus to Sampaloc.

Many years ago in Midway, Lieutenant Commander Edwin Layton's intelligence network has foreseen that Marilyn Monroe will die in Brentwood on the 4th day of August 1962, almost 60 years before the Phantom Biker was feted with a plaque of appreciation served in a steak dinner and a charcuterie board stuffed inside a bottle of Hennessy Cognac, right after the Mayor-elect of Talavera promised to one day visit D' HANKS of Bakal 2. 

But the hard truth is a Jaguar owned by the Butcher of Mauthasen escaped from Isabel Garrido's care and mauled Marilyn Monroe just as the Raffle Masters drew the lucky winner of a 39-inch Hanabishi digital smart TV that will adorn the master's bedroom in Bakal 2.   

After 4 days of exorcising BBM's election in the bike trails of Munoz, the Phantom Biker was told to Better Call Saul instead and ask Slippin' Jimmy McGill the ex-con lawyer to file a motion to reopen the Marily Monroe case, tap his ex-cop friend Mike Ehrmantraut to gather new evidence, and perhaps remake Kim Wexler who is also a blonde as the Marilyn Monroe of HHM and Season 1.

BEFORE THE LIQUOR WAS BANNED

Six days before prohibition was imposed in Bakal 2, Lady Mary began accepting suitors in Season 4 including the second footman who through his superb interpretation of the dinakdakan in the kitchen of Downtown Abbey was elevated into the status of a sous chef for the Thursday Group meetings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. 

Meanwhile, the servants dined on inihaw na bangus and reheated leftover pinapaitan on Thursday and Friday while Pugad Baboy celebated Bulan's homecoming with a decadent late lunch of scampi pasta, garlic parmesan chicken wings, savory fries and a huge combo pizza that is better suited for Marigold's coming out in Season 5.

But in the end, what got listed in the Michelin Guide is a Sunday luncheon of kinilaw na tuna and grilled pork smothered with buro and wrapped in mustasa leaves that in Season 6 was in the menu of Mrs. Patmore's bed and breakfast which is just opposite the first shop of Talbot and Branson Motors.

All kinds of liquor were banned by Sunday after 5 solo forays in the bike trails of Munoz and 6 consecutive Red Horse-infused nights in Bakal 2 where it was decided that Messrs. Gaboy and Castro will be in the ballot along with the Lady in Pink, the Gentleman from Nueva Ecija, 6 senatoriables, and all those associated with the Craft.  

19 IN THE TIME OF THE EDSA PROVINCIAL BUS BAN

To celebrate the occasion of Balong's 19 birthday, Lord Grantham of Downtown Abbey was kind enough to lend his chauffeur to Pugad Baboy for their trip to Cubao via Baliwag along with his butler who initiated the celebrant into the pleasures of the Mojito, Evita, Smoked Rum Coke and Tanglad Cocktail that were mixed by the first footman in the hallowed grounds of Cubao Expo; and Sex on the Beach, Tequila Sunrise and Cheesy Beer as brewed by the second footman from the village of Tomas Morato Avenue that were enough to drown the sorrows of Solicitor Matthew Crawley and Lady Mary Grantham in Season 1.  

Of course, the drinks came with a meal of fully loaded nachos, spiced cheese penne, tacos and patatas pritas from Mrs. Patmore of the INT.Bar as well as imitation lechon that the assistant cook drenched with buro and wrapped in mustasa leaves from the larder of the Habanero Kitchen Bar where Pugad Baboy took off to join the servants at the Araneta Times Square Food Park for a simple supper of crispy crablets, fish cake and tteokbokki.  

There was however only one proper dinner over the three nights at HOPP INN Hotel and that was to celebrate Balong's birthday with a spread of beef nachos and quesadilla from the Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina, a disappointing kebab platter from Babaghanoosh and a blueberry cheesecake dessert from Starbucks where the streets of Kapitolyo emptied into the Capitol Commons. 

The first born of Downtown Abbey did became Lady Mary Crawley in Season 2 as a lovestruck valet and head housemaid met at Tropical Hut to plan the breakfast menu which started with Vigan longganisa, roast beef pares, a pancake platter and breaded porkchop at Kanto Boy Freestyle on Friday; what turned out to be a brunch of xiao long bao, hakaw, chicken feet, pork and shrimp siomai, beef tendon claypot rice and congee at the Great Buddha Cafe on Saturday; and concluded with Bicol express, lechon Cebu, igado and empanada at the SIDCOR Sunday Market where Lady Sybil Crawley announced her engagement with their chauffeur and the resumption of regular bus trips from Cubao to San Jose City.

But it was too late for the future Earl of Grantham who have to die in a car crash after being endowed with a substantial inheritance by his ex's father and having his heir born in Season 3, which threw Downtown Abbey into mourning so dark that Pugad Baboy can only manage one stand-up luncheon of hotdogs and fried chicken wings at a Swedish Bistro after turning away from a 2.5-hour waiting time for a table at the Swedish Restaurant where the gay head valet manage to pilfer a cup of Swedish meatballs for Balong. 

The Phantom Biker had only three days in the trails, supped on roasted pork ribs and bihon guisado with the Mistahs on Monday, tokwa't baboy and inihaw na bangus with the Thursday Group on Tuesday and sisig with the Tuesday Group on Wednesday but the buses are finally back and that is what matters after Balong's birthday trip and three wonderful nights in Kapitolyo, Cubao and Morato.
