Ah, the fine art of statesmanship in the Philippines—where our esteemed leaders, instead of engaging in meaningful debate, now resort to slapping threats and medical condition mockery. Truly, a masterclass in parliamentary decorum! Senator Bato dela Rosa clearly inspired by the highest principles of governance, has decided that the best way to prove a point is through a slap, because why use logic when you have the sheer force of your palm?

And as if that weren’t enough, the latest stroke (pun intended) of genius from the pro-Duterte camp is hijacking the acronym AIDS—an illness that has caused immense suffering worldwide—just to score political points. Brilliant. 

What’s next? A rebranding of cancer to mean “Critics Against the Regime”? At this rate, satire will become obsolete because reality itself is doing the job. Shamelessness isn’t just a trait anymore; it’s an entire political platform. Bravo!
