The First Couple’s dinner in Malacañang was a feast for the stomach—and the political grapevine. While nearly everyone RSVP’d “yes” (because who says no to free food in Malacañang?), the glaring absence of presidential sister Imee Marcos stole the spotlight. Was it a scheduling conflict, or is Imee too busy perfecting her BFF poses with VP Sara Duterte?
It’s classic Imee: the prodigal sister with a flair for subtle rebellion. Skipping the family dinner might just be her way of saying, “I’ll take the political high ground, and the dessert too.” Or perhaps she’s testing the waters for a solo act in the 2025 elections, banking on her “bestie” status with Sara to scoop votes from the Duterte fan club.
Whatever her motives, the message is clear: Imee is playing her own game. Whether that game is chess, poker, or a new telenovela, only time—and election results—will tell.
VP Sara Duterte’s announcement that she’s accepted her father, Rodrigo Duterte, as her attorney for any impeachment case is a plot twist nobody saw coming. It’s like hiring a comedian to fix your plumbing—entertaining, sure, but will it work?
The elder Duterte’s legal track record remains as elusive as his stance on human rights. Despite persistent inquiries, nobody seems to know how many cases he’s actually won as an attorney—or if there are any to count.
Imagine the courtroom theatrics: Rodrigo Duterte delivering fiery one-liners, peppered with “putang ina” for dramatic effect, while Sara facepalms in the background. Will his arguments be legally sound or just sound bites for the evening news?
This father-daughter legal dream team raises more questions than answers. Is this a genuine strategy or just another Duterte-brand spectacle? One thing’s certain: the court sessions would rival a Netflix drama, but justice might end up as the biggest cliffhanger.
Congressman Rodante Marcoleta must have mistaken the peace rally for an audition for “Philippines Got Politics.”
Armed with his signature bluster, he hijacked the non-political stage to launch an anti-Quadcomm tirade, defend the Dutertes like a loyal telenovela sidekick, and trumpet his congressional proposals as if anyone asked. Meanwhile, his mention of President Bongbong Marcos was so fleeting it could’ve been a TikTok clip—blink and you’d miss it.
The irony of turning a peace rally into a political soapbox wasn’t lost on anyone, except maybe Marcoleta himself. But will this theatrical stunt endear him to his Iglesia Ni Cristo brethren, or will it backfire like a bad karaoke performance?
With 2025 fast approaching, Marcoleta’s antics might not secure him the senatorial votes he’s banking on. After all, the INC values unity, and hogging the microphone isn’t exactly the best way to rally the faithful—or the electorate.
