In the illustrious lineage of vice presidential mishaps, Leni’s mathematical misadventures seem to be merely an appetizer for the comedic feast that is the second-highest office in the land. Her innovative rebranding of NGOs (non-governmental organization to NGAs (non-governmental associations?), a lexical remix akin to swapping a cat for a canary, is the linguistic masterpiece we never knew we needed. 

Now, fast forward to Sara Duterte, the torchbearer of inadvertent brilliance, who, in a riveting public service announcement, kindly urged President Bongbong Marcos to reconsider peace talks, inadvertently birthing the National People’s Army (New People’Army?) – a terrorist group that probably didn’t even make it to the JV squad of insurgency. 

It’s comforting to know that in the realm of vice presidential gaffes, the tradition of linguistic befuddlement remains intact, a testament to the enduring legacy of unintentional wit in high places.
