In a stunning display of legislative multitasking, Senator Robin Padilla’s wife Mariel has managed to turn the Senate into a one-stop-shop for beauty treatments. 

From skin-whitening gluta drips to potential office spa days, it seems no government space is off-limits for her cosmetic endeavors. While one might applaud her efficiency, others question the appropriateness of turning the hallowed halls of governance into a personal salon. What’s next, a Senate-approved nail salon or a massage parlor in the caucus room? 

While everyone deserves to pamper themselves, using taxpayer-funded resources for personal beautification ventures crosses the line from self-care to self-indulgence. 

As the public grapples with the absurdity of it all, one can’t help but wonder if this is the future of governance: where legislation takes a backseat to skincare routines and committee meetings become spa appointments. 

Welcome to the era of political pampering, where bills aren’t the only things getting passed.
