In a stunning display of wit and strategic evasion, President Bongbong Marcos has mastered the art of dodging accusations with the finesse of a seasoned tightrope walker. 

When confronted with allegations by former President Rodrigo Duterte of Marcos’ drug use, the President’s ingenious “It’s the fentanyl” retort left reporters in a state of bewilderment. 

Clearly, we’ve underestimated the medicinal powers of this painkiller – apparently, it not only numbs physical agony but also acts as a convenient excuse for any political discomfort.

Refusing to categorically deny the allegations, Marcos reached new heights of political acrobatics, declaring that he wouldn’t even dignify such queries with a response. 

Bravo, Mr. President! This masterclass in rhetorical jujitsu has left reporters pondering the consequences of their probing inquiries. It seems the taste of their own medicine is a bitter pill to swallow. 

In the grand theater of politics, President Marcos has proven that sometimes, the most effective defense is a well-timed quip and a dash of selective amnesia.
