In a twist fit for UNDAS (day of the dead), DDS loyalists are lamenting the “death” of their movement’s spirit—only for it to be miraculously resurrected by none other than Rodrigo Duterte himself.
DDS blogger Mark Anthony Lopez announced this macabre revival after Duterte’s Senate appearance on the war on drugs, calling it a rebirth of their once “dead” devotion.
How poetic, right? Like zombies clawing their way out of the political graveyard, the DDS has apparently found its second wind. Perhaps Duterte’s Senate cameo was the undead jolt they needed, summoning forth ghosts of the movement’s peak years. UNDAS, after all, is a time to remember the dead, even if some can’t seem to stay buried. But let’s just hope this revival doesn’t drag us back to the graveyard of authoritarian nostalgia.
For now, though, the DDS seems to have found its Halloween costume: a zombie movement in need of a new crusade.
Sen. Jinggoy Estrada was star-struck with Rodrigo Duterte.
Only one person stood (actually sat) between Duterte and Leila de Lima.
None of the senators dared to cite Duterte in contempt, or accuse him of lying.
No, Sen. Risa Hontiveros was not ‘disrespecting’ the president. She was talking to an ordinary citizen.
Senators Bato de la Rosa and Bong Go did what they do best in front of their former boss — kiss *ss.
The senators underestimated Duterte. They wanted to end the hearing at 3pm. Duterte was prepared and willing to stay till 4 —am, that is.
Congressmen Dan Fernandez and Benny Abante will have a hard time sleeping tonight.
Netizens have decided: the mystery guy seen behind Robin Padilla has a better-trimmed mustache than the senator.
Did Duterte come prepared to be in Senate custody with his mosquito net?
Former Duterte legal counsel and spokesperson Atty. Sal Panelo came prepared with a powerpoint presentation to show the senators: his music video of “Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas.” Paging Sharon Cuneta!
The competition is on: the HOR young guns vs. the Senate goons. Whose team are you on?
Wow! Atty Trixie Cruz-Angeles is back as press secretary — this time for Duterte.
It seems DDS blogger Mark Anthony Lopez,made it to the senate hearing, but only as far as the building’s main gate.
Sass Rogando Sasot, a self-proclaimed international relations expert and prominent supporter of the Duterte administration (DDS), recently stirred controversy by claiming that Facebook/Meta removed her account without notice.
Later, however, she backtracked, suggesting that her account had been hacked. This sequence of events raises questions about Sasot’s credibility, as she manages multiple social media accounts, including one with Chinese characters.
The incident could reflect either genuine confusion or an adeptness in navigating (and perhaps circumventing) platform policies.
Interestingly, while claiming not to use Twitter, she posted about her Facebook issue on X (formerly Twitter). Such inconsistencies call attention to her complex relationship with social media, possibly revealing her expertise in account management or attempts to amplify her presence across platforms. Either way, the episode invites scrutiny of the methods some public figures use to retain influence amid social media challenges.
