MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Oh, how critics and the news media are so focused on the dip in Philippine President Bongbong Marcos’ approval rating as per the latest opinion polls.

Unlike the biased media, The Adobo Chronicles is focused on absolute numbers based on world-wide surveys. And the surveys said…

Marcos has the second highest approval ratings among world leaders, second only to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

We’ll shut up and let you read the numbers!

Commentary: Confetti Numbers Rain On OVP’s Confidential Funds

October 2, 2023 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Ah, the delightful dance of numbers and timelines in the world of Filipino politics, where politicians and the news media twirl and whirl like a tango of confusion. Sara Duterte’s confidential funds during her Davao City mayoral reign have become the main act in this spectacle. It’s a “different strokes for different folks” extravaganza!

In one corner, you have politicians, eager to bamboozle the public with more numbers than a mathematician on a caffeine overdose. They make the national debt look like chump change, and you wonder if they’ve stashed away an infinite cookie jar of confidential funds.

On the other side, the news media performs its interpretative dance, attempting to decipher the cryptic timelines and figures. Are they playing 4D chess or just trying to out-puzzle the Rubik’s Cube?

It’s all part of the grand theater where numbers and timelines swirl like confetti, leaving the Filipino people in a state of perpetual befuddlement. And we’re left to wonder, is this really governance, or just a masterclass in sleight of hand?
