Duterte To Quiboloy: For Better Or For Better

In the grand theater of Filipino politics, loyalty takes center stage, even if it means dancing with the devil. 

Duterte’s plea to Pastor Quiboloy to leave him out of the appointed son of God’s brush with the law seems more like a desperate attempt at divine intervention than a genuine concern for justice. With warrants looming over Quiboloy like storm clouds, and Duterte juggling his own legal woes with the ICC, it’s a circus where everyone’s a clown.

As Duterte plays ringmaster, directing attention away from his own troubles and onto Quiboloy’s celestial connections, the Filipino people watch in disbelief. Is this a display of loyalty gone awry, or simply another act in the never-ending drama of Filipino politics?

While Quiboloy’s brushes with the law paint a grim picture, Duterte’s attempts to sweep them under the rug only add more color to the circus. In this carnival of chaos, confusion reigns supreme, leaving law enforcers and citizens alike scratching their heads in bewilderment.

James Taylor’s Got A Friend In Bongbong And Liza Marcos

After almost 8 years since music legend James Taylor cancelled a scheduled concert in the Philippines, he’s back as a friend to Filipinos and to Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos.  

The cancelled concert was a political statement about former President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war, specifically over alleged extra-judicial killings.  But “tokhang” is no more and so Taylor treated fans with much nostalgia in a concert in Manila, with no less than the First Couple in attendance.  

They say music and politics don’t mix, but history tells us that music has always played a huge role in protests against terror, injustice and violations of human rights.

It could also constitute an endorsement, subtle or not.
