Make America Colorful Again!

Leave a comment

Imagine this.

In a bold move to “Make America Empty Again,” Trump’s immigration task force successfully deported everyone who wasn’t white. Factories ground to a halt, Silicon Valley engineers vanished, and suddenly, no one knew how to cook their own food. Wealthy elites found themselves scrubbing their own toilets, hedge fund managers attempted to pick strawberries (and lasted 20 minutes before fainting), and Karen’s favorite Thai restaurant? Closed—because, surprise, Chad doesn’t know how to make Pad Thai.

Wall Street collapsed, Uber rides disappeared, and hospitals operated at half capacity as doctors and nurses were shipped off. Even Mar-a-Lago shut down—turns out, no one wanted to work minimum wage to fold Trump’s golden bedsheets. Meanwhile, Americans sat in their overpriced homes, wondering how their “self-sufficient” nation fell apart in two weeks.

And so, in a shocking twist, Trump made an emergency call: “Come back! I was just kidding!” But the world had moved on.

PSA’s Failed National ID Program Starts New Initiative!

Leave a comment

Ah, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has done it again—introducing a revolutionary initiative: allowing infants under a year old to register for a national ID! Because, clearly, our diaper-clad citizens have been demanding government-issued identification to open bank accounts, apply for jobs, and maybe even vote in the next barangay elections.

Meanwhile, millions of Filipinos aged two and above—including those who have graduated, started families, or possibly retired—are still waiting for their national IDs, which remain as elusive as an honest politician. But sure, let’s prioritize babies who can’t even hold their own bottles, much less their IDs.

Perhaps the PSA is aiming for a futuristic approach: by the time these babies actually receive their IDs, they’ll be in their mid-30s and finally ready to use them. Efficiency at its finest! Now, if only the PSA could also issue IDs to those of us who applied back when we still had hope.
