The critics of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. are at it again, this time blaming him for the increase in social security contribution rates taking effect in 2025. It’s as if Marcos himself woke up one day, had his coffee, and thought, “Let’s make everyone pay more!” Never mind that this particular policy was signed into law by none other than Rodrigo Duterte, the same leader some wistfully pine for as the supposed messiah of low contributions and high promises.
Oh, the irony! If only someone could invent a time machine so Duterte himself could explain it: “I signed it, mga ulol!” But alas, it’s far more convenient to throw all kinds of mud at Marcos, regardless of whether it sticks—or makes sense.
Critics are truly the creative artists of blame. Next thing you know, they’ll be accusing Marcos of being responsible for inflation… during the Jurassic era!
Dr. Tony Leachon, the self-proclaimed guardian of Filipino health, seems to have taken a comedic detour from medical wisdom to misinformation central.
His latest crusade? Declaring war on lechon, the star of every Filipino noche buena. According to the good doctor, a slice of crispy pork belly is a one-way ticket to a PhilHealth-less future. It’s a bold statement, considering most Filipinos would probably trade a lifetime of health coverage for one bite of perfectly roasted skin.
But Dr. Leachon didn’t stop there—he also found himself lost in translation regarding an Iglesia Ni Cristo rally, hilariously misinterpreting its purpose. Imagine promoting a religious event like it’s a cholesterol-awareness campaign! Maybe he thought they were gathering to fast for health reform?
While his passion for health is admirable, his penchant for drama and confusion has turned him into a sitcom character. Someone give this man a reality check—or a slice of lechon.
Nagulantang ang bayan nang ilunsad ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ang bagong polymer peso bills, kung saan pinalitan ang mga bayani’t presidente ng mga hayop. Aba, parang sinabi na rin nilang mas bagay ang pera sa wildlife kaysa sa legacy ng tao! Pero bago pa maghimutok nang husto ang sambayanan, kumalat ang balita tungkol sa umano’y bagong P20 bill: may imahe raw ng isang orange na pusit, na tila sumasalamin kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
Biglang nanahimik ang mga kritiko. “Wow, finally, representation!” sigaw ng ilan. Ang iba naman, tumatawa sa irony—literal na may squid sa pera habang ang ekonomiya ay parang underwater na rin.
Ang masaya, mukhang mas tanggap ng publiko ang pusit kaysa polymer bills. Siguro kasi mas relatable ang pusit: versatile, colorful, at mahusay umiwas sa responsibilidad—este, sa predator. Sa huli, sabi nga nila, all’s well that ends squid… este, well!
