Ah, another day, another “Only in da Pilipins” moment. A group of die-hard Duterte supporters is staging a hunger strike—but with baon. Yes, you read that right. The organizers, seemingly unaware of the irony, reminded participants to bring food and water for their hunger strike. One can only imagine the scene: protesters passionately chanting “Free Duterte!” while munching on Jollibee Chickenjoy.
Is this a hunger strike or a glorified picnic with extra drama? Perhaps they mean intermittent fasting with cheat meals. Or maybe it’s a soft launch of hunger—just a test run, no real commitment. One thing’s for sure: even their protests follow the Filipino motto of walang iwanan, especially when it comes to meals.
