What's keeping Senator Juan Ponce Enrile busy since he resigned from his post as Senate President?
Well, Enrile's new position as Senate minority leader has obviously given him more time to do the things he could not afford to do when he was still busy leading the Senate in the 15th Congress.
On Wednesday, the Senate minority leader was seen enjoying a popular game, Bejeweled, on his tablet while waiting for his turn to speak before the Senate committee hearing.
Observers from the Senate saw how Bejeweled entertained Enrile, who had to wait long for his colleague Senator Jose "Jinggoy" to finish asking questions about the six-for-flight scandals in the Middle East.
"I'm now at Level 271," a grinning Enrile later admitted in an interview.
Enrile explained he enjoys playing Bejeweled more than playing Candy Crush because he doesn't like eating candies. He also confessed he was not into computer games when he was still Senate President.
"It was only during the campaign when I started (playing)," he told reporters.
During the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) last summer, Enrile said he found time to tinker with his iPad.
And yes, he is convinced that games like Bejeweled are effective mind exercises.
"My former secretary at the law office downloaded this game on my iPad," the veteran lawmaker said
"I like it because it exercises my mind. And it challenges me to know how fast I can solve one level," he added.
Senator Teofisto "TG" Guingona led the Senate probe on the issue as chair of Senate committee on blue ribbon.
Enrile attended the Senate's first hearing on six-for-flight scandal, which implicated Philippine Labor Attache Adam Musa.
And it seemed like playing Bejeweled inspired Enrile to grill Musa for his alleged shortcomings in handling the case of an abused Filipina worker while she was still working in Saudi.
During the Senate inquiry, Enrile said Musa failed to meet his duty to protect the welfare of overseas Filipino workers.
The Filipina worker sought help from Musa after she reported that her employer sixually abused her. After quitting her job, Musa's office took the Filipina in to work as a janitress.
The worker then accused Musa's driver of trying to rape her, another case that should have been properly investigated if only the Philippine labor official did not allow his staff to immediately settle by paying financial damages.
The settlement of the case, Enrile pointed out, also prevented Musa to look into the woman's first complaint of abuse against her previous employer in Saudi.

May kilala ko nasira na sa ganyan. High level executive sa kumpanya namin na addict sa Candy Crush. Halos buong araw sa opisina nakangudngod mukha sa iPad niya. Wala nang trabahong nagagawa. Well ang trabaho niya lang naman dapat ay maging updated sa mga ginagawa ng mga bisor niya sa opisina. Kawawa mga bisor na trabaho ng trabaho habang si high level executive laro ng laro.
Then came the quarterly evaluation for everyone in the company. Ang mga bisor may evaluation din para sa performance ng high level executive na may hawak sa kanila. Ayun nilaglag siya ng mga bisor niya na puro Candy Crush lang inaatupag. Pinatawag ng CEO and the CEO asked questions kay high level executive tapos puro mali mali na sagot niya kasi nga hindi na siya updated sa mga happening sa kumpanya kaka Candy Crush. Ayun sibak sa trabaho.
