Aha-ha. Huh!
Satire is not just a fire
That can trigger your ire.
It‘s a tricky quagmire,
when you‘re in dire.
You dive in, it‘s a weir!
Lungs burst, like a damaged tyre.
Satire pokes your glands of desire
You‘re solo-singing a choir. . .
With no one playing a lyre.
You‘re walking a live wire
Your solitude stinks in the mire
One you caused, a consuming pyre.
From it you‘re going to expire.
Dang, the picture is not dwire!
Oh my, oh my, oh my

These so-called influencers are playing victims, but let’s not be fooled. Imagine, just a few people with hundreds of thousands of followers are steering our political conversations.
Good if they are legitimate critics, writing for the interest of the nation; but no, they spread hate and propaganda just because things didn’t go their way.
This is not about the DDS vs Loyalists; it’s about a few bitter voices with their own shady goals against us, the REAL People of the Philippines. 🇵🇭
It’s high time we steer the narrative back to what really matters instead of letting a select few dictate the conversation with their endless venom. ✊🏽
Oh, the marvels of modern media! It’s truly astonishing how the critics and Philippine news outlets have mastered the art of cherry-picking facts to create the juiciest narratives.
Apparently, President Bongbong Marcos has been blessed with an approval rating so high it could rival a mountain’s peak. But alas, in the grand spectacle of journalistic sensationalism, this feat is overshadowed by the almighty “drop” in his ratings since the last survey.
As a matter of factly, even supposed pro-Administration bloggers and so-called influencers are treating the dip in ratings as unchallengeable numerology. You can hear nothing but crickets on their end. None, except The Adobo Chronicle, have pointed out that PBBM’s 65% rating is actually the second best among world leaders!
Why let the pesky fact that he’s still second in line worldwide dampen the drama? We must remember that every politician’s approval rating is like a rollercoaster. A single dip is practically a political tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, warranting endless debates, op-eds, and the oh-so-important hot takes.
While India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi sits comfortably atop this imaginary approval rating throne, let us not forget that perception is everything.
So, fret not, dear President Bongbong Marcos. You may not be number one, but in the grand theater of public opinion, you’re still the apple of manypeople’s eyes, and that’s what truly matters in this world of political pageantry.
