Ah, the wild world of clickbait journalism has truly outdone itself this time. The Rappler opinion piece suggesting that the Marcos government can now arrest Rodrigo Duterte and hand him over to the International Criminal Court is a hilarious exercise in absurdity.
The notion that the Marcoses and the Dutertes are now “fierce enemies” is laughable. It’s as if they want us to believe that these two political dynasties have suddenly had a dramatic falling out, despite all evidence to the contrary. In reality, the vice president is a Duterte who actively supported Bongbong Marcos’ presidential bid. To suggest that they are now arch-nemeses is like saying cats and dogs have formed an alliance against the squirrels.
And let’s not forget the fact that Bongbong Marcos has already declared his government’s stance on the ICC – they’re done with it. So much for turning over Duterte to an institution they’ve already disavowed. But hey, at least they’re consistent in their inconsistency. Kudos to the writer for crafting such a hilariously implausible clickbait narrative!
