In a baffling display of privilege, Mariel Padilla, wife of Senator Robin Padilla, took to social media to justify her questionable choice of administering a drip in her husband’s Senate office. 

Claiming it to be a Vitamin C infusion rather than the speculated glutathione, Mariel inadvertently flaunted a different kind of elitism – the audacity to flaunt medical treatments typically reserved for clinical settings, all while casually occupying a public office. 

Her delayed explanation only serves to underscore the suspicion that a carefully crafted script was necessary to rationalize such extravagance. 

The irony is palpable: while most resort to humble, over-the-counter Vitamin C tablets, Mariel opts for intravenous delivery, seemingly boasting her wealth under the guise of health consciousness. 

In a society plagued by inequality, her actions epitomize the stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots, perpetuating a narrative of entitlement and detachment from reality.
