In the latest social media trend sweeping the Philippines, netizens have taken it upon themselves to determine who among Rodrigo Duterte, Rowena Guanzon, and Bongbong Marcos can sport the infamous grimaced face, long-associated with the universal symbol of drug use, with the most finesse.

Forget policy debates or political ideologies—apparently, the real measure of a leader’s prowess lies in their ability to master the art of the cringe-worthy expression. Photoshopped and actual images of Duterte, Guanzon, and Marcos with exaggerated frowns and squinted eyes flood timelines, as armchair critics engage in a heated battle to crown the “Grimace King” or “Grimace Queen.”

Perhaps this is a new form of political commentary, transcending the boundaries of conventional discourse. Who knew that the fate of the nation could hinge on who can pull off the best impression of someone who just bit into a lemon? In the grand spectacle of Philippine politics, it seems the grimace has become the truest barometer of leadership.
