Ah, the classic “sabi-sabi” journalism—where facts are optional, but drama is mandatory. Blogger Tio Moreno, a.k.a. Alex Destor, has graced us with a bombshell claim: each Congressman who backed VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment allegedly pocketed a cool P150 million. His source? “Based on what we’ve heard…” Truly, investigative reporting at its finest.
Forget receipts, evidence, or even a mildly credible witness. In today’s political discourse, mere echoes in the wind are enough to fuel a scandal. By this logic, why stop at P150 million? Why not P500 million? A billion? Let’s say they were also promised a lifetime supply of lugaw, just to spice things up.
Of course, if this were true, the national budget would be emptier than an MRT train at midnight. But who needs math when sensationalism is far more profitable? In the end, Tio Moreno reminds us: why verify when you can just amplify?
