In a twist of irony worthy of a melodramatic ballad, the estate of the legendary Pinoy singer Eddie Peregrina has erupted in outrage over President Bongbong Marcos’ recent labeling of PDEA leaks witness Jonathan Morales as the “jukebox.” 

In a scathing statement, Peregrina’s estate vehemently objected, declaring that the title of “Jukebox King” was a sacred mantle bestowed upon Peregrina himself.

“Just as there can only be one superstar, one star for all seasons, one Asia’s songbird, and one diamond star, there can only be one Jukebox King, and that honor has long belonged to Peregrina,” the estate’s spokesperson proclaimed, their voice echoing with the passion of a thousand karaoke renditions.

As the nation watches this melodramatic showdown unfold, it seems the echoes of the jukebox will continue to reverberate through the annals of Philippine music history, leaving us to ponder: who truly deserves the crown of the Jukebox Kingdom?
