An obscure group of supporters has issued a statement, denying any malice in a viral video featuring Vice President Sara Duterte handing a box of polvoron to a schoolboy with the cryptic endorsement, “Masarap yan. Nakaka-adik” (That’s delicious. It’s addicting). The timing is as suspect as a cat burglar in a jewelry store, conveniently surfacing on the heels of a video allegedly showcasing President Bongbong Marcos engaging in powdery escapades.

But fear not, dear citizens, for this denial of malice does not hail from the VP or her office; rather, it emanates from the depths of obscurity. One might wonder why such a statement didn’t come directly from the VP herself. Perhaps she’s too busy crafting her culinary critiques or lost in the labyrinth of addictive polvoron-induced ecstasy. 

In the world of politics, it seems the absurdity knows no bounds, leaving us to decipher whether it’s a comedy or a tragedy unfolding before our very eyes.
