In a surreal display of influencer insanity, Davao witnessed what seemed like a summit of the highest-paid vloggers, complete with the unlikely duo of Rodrigo Duterte and the self-proclaimed son of God, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy. 

One could almost hear the cash registers ringing in the background as the three takeaways emerged from this circus of vanity.

Firstly, Quiboloy emerges from his supposed hiding, presumably taking a break from his celestial duties to hobnob with earthly influencers. 

Secondly, Duterte, in a move that surprises no one, continues to operate under the delusion that he’s still the president, perhaps hoping for one last shot at the limelight.

Lastly, and perhaps most depressingly, some vloggers appear to have auctioned off their moral compasses to the highest bidder, selling their souls to the devil himself for a few extra likes and subscribers, not to mention a paycheck.

Truly, a summit of shameless self-promotion and moral bankruptcy.
