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.
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!
