An Ode To Spaghetti Electric Wires

In the land where wires dance a tangled waltz,

Above the streets, they twist and vault.

Philippines, oh land of the spaghetti fray,

Where wires run wild, with no dismay.

While the world moves towards a greener way,

With electric cars to save the day,

Here, the wires hang, a chaotic maze,

A symbol of our prolonged daze.

While the US dreams of an electric fleet,

We grapple still with wires concrete.

How many generations must endure,

This aerial jungle, obscure?

Oh, Philippines, land of puzzling wires,

Entangled still in electric quires.

As other nations progress and soar,

We’re left pondering, what’s the score?

Till when shall we dance this tangled spree,

Till when shall our skyline be free?

As the world moves forward, we lag behind,

Entwined in wires of a bygone kind.

A Modest Proposal To Erase The Philippines’ $118 Billion Foreign Debt

In the fantastical world of Philippine economics, the solution to crippling foreign debt is as simple as selling off natural wonders to the highest bidder. Who needs pristine landscapes when you can trade them for a fleeting moment of financial solvency? 

The world’s billionaires would rush to own a piece of the pie. They don’t even have to build resorts. They just need to add to their resumés their personal noble contribution to protecting the environment and maintaining balance in the eco systems.

But wait, there’s a catch! To make this grand bargain, the sacred text of the 1987 Constitution must be rewritten, allowing foreign tycoons to gobble up Philippine real estate like candy at a carnival. Who cares about sovereignty when there are dollars to be made?

Of course, why stop at just selling Chocolate Hills and Hundred Islands? With the right amendments, the entire archipelago could become a playground for global elites. Let’s roll out the red carpet for the world’s wealthiest, because who needs national identity when you can have cold, hard cash? 

In this twisted narrative, economic salvation comes at the cost of cultural integrity, turning paradise into a commodity for the highest bidder. Welcome to the Philippines: where debts disappear and landscapes vanish in the name of progress.
