In a scene reminiscent of a high-stakes game of social distancing chess, First Lady Lisa Araneta Marcos and Senator Cynthia Villar executed a masterful display of maintaining ample space between them at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a hotel at BGC.
The air crackled with tension as the two political figures navigated the delicate dance of personal space, ensuring not a molecule of potential contagion dared to trespass between them.
Earlier skirmishes, like Villar’s critique of Marcos’ candid remarks about Vice President Sara Duterte’s marksmanship, set the stage for this carefully choreographed performance.
Speculations ran rife among onlookers: Was it the specter of pertussis or the flu casting its shadow over the proceedings? Or perhaps, in this theater of the absurd, it was simply a case of health precautions taken to the extreme.
As the curtains closed on this spectacle, one thing was certain: in the realm of political theatrics, social distancing knows no bounds.
