Larry Gadon, once a lawyer and now the Marcos administration’s illustrious Anti-poverty Czar, seems to have missed the memo on his job description. From pushing for charter changes to opining on election dynamics, Gadon’s antics have been nothing short of a spectacle.
His bold declaration that Philippine poverty is a mere hallucination would be amusing if it weren’t so detached from reality. Recently, he opined that in a hypothetical presidential race, VP Sara Duterte wouldn’t capture the hearts of Marcos Loyalists and Ilocanos, thus ensuring his continued tour-de-force in political clairvoyance.
Gadon’s grand finale came with a Supreme Court verdict of gross misconduct, a fitting addition to his illustrious resume. One must wonder if President Bongbong Marcos, ever patient, might finally consider bestowing Gadon with the ultimate honor: a well-deserved pink slip. After all, even the most loyal jesters eventually wear out their welcome.
