Is GMA Network Finally Dropping Vice Ganda?

Leave a comment

In a stunning twist of network drama, GMA Network might just be doing the unthinkable: considering a life beyond Vice Ganda on “It’s Showtime.”

Recent promotions conveniently omitted the flamboyant host, sparking wild speculation. Is GMA finally fed up with the reign of wigs and wit? Could they be plotting a revolution of bland predictability?

Surely, the network isn’t daring enough to think viewers can endure noon without Vice’s comedic chaos. Maybe they believe that the show can survive on charm and charisma alone—or perhaps they’re preparing us for a host so average that Vice will look even more indispensable by contrast.

Either way, this move could be GMA’s attempt at high-stakes entertainment, with viewers glued to their seats, not by the usual gags, but by the sheer suspense of wondering, “What on earth are they thinking?” Stay tuned, folks. The real show is just beginning.

Top 10 Things To Do On Philippine Independence Day

Leave a comment

It’s the 126th anniversary of Philippine Independence. Boy, we’ve come a long way since the proclamation in 1898!

Here’s a list of “must-do” today if you’re a genuine, true-blooded Filipino:

1. Sing ‘Lupang Hirang’

2. Recite the ‘Panatang Makabayan’

3. Sing along with the ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ hymn on your karaoke machine

4. Recite the ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ pledge

5. Wear something red, white and blue if you are pro-administration. Otherwise, wear yellow if you are Dilawan, and green if you are DDS.

6. Grill some pork liempo and cook some adobo and pancit for lunch. Otherwise, head over to Mang Inasal. They still offer unli rice. Or, you can visit the newly-opened Diwata’s Pares Overload branch in Quezon City.

7. Check out the sales at your favorite mall or department store.

8.Gather your kumpares for a mid-afternoon tagay-tagay. San Mig or Ginebra would be just fine. Don’t forget the sisig pulutan!

9. Gather your kumares for a round of mahjong. Good time for an honest-to-goodness ‘Marites’ session!

10. Cap the day by watching something on Netflix. Or, a Korean telenovela maybe?

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY. You’ve survived it!

Why Not Make Baguio A Total Walking City?

Leave a comment

In a brilliant stroke of genius, technocrats from a Manny Pangilinan company have devised a foolproof plan to alleviate traffic congestion in Baguio City’s Central Business District (CBD) by slapping a congestion fee on motorists.

Never mind that the CBD isn’t just Session Road, as the keen-eyed folks at Rappler might have you believe; it’s a labyrinth of roads like Magsaysay, Harrison, Abanao, General Luna, Bonifacio, Leonard Wood and more. Charging a fee to enter this vehicular maze will surely clear the streets instantly—of common sense.

But why stop at a congestion fee? Let’s ban private cars and taxis altogether from the CBD. Baguio’s legendary cool weather makes it the perfect walking city. Picture it: citizens striding purposefully through the streets, fitness levels soaring, smog levels plummeting. Residents and tourists alike will soon boast calves of steel, rendering gyms obsolete.

Forget traffic solutions—let’s embrace pedestrian utopia and march our way to a healthier, greener future!
