Ah, the irony! VP Sara Duterte recently lamented Filipinos’ habit of electing actors, comedians, and entertainers—completely forgetting that her father’s political squad has more dance moves than legislative accomplishments. Netizens were quick to remind her of the TikTok-worthy performances of Robin Padilla, Bong Go, Bato dela Rosa, Phillip Salvador, and even the ever-animated Harry Roque. It’s almost like they auditioned for Dancing with the Stars but accidentally landed in the Senate.
Who knew that the real qualification for public office wasn’t governance but a well-timed budots routine? And let’s not forget, her father himself won the presidency with his own brand of shock comedy. Maybe VP Sara just had a brief moment of amnesia—or selective memory loss. Either way, if singing and dancing are now disqualifications, the first ones out of office should be the very people she campaigned with. Showtime, indeed!
