U.S. Customs Bans Goldilocks Polvoron!

In a bizarre turn of events, U.S. Customs has added Goldilocks polvoron — that sweet, powdery shortbread Filipino delicacy — to its list of banned items, leaving travelers and importers scratching their heads. 

The unexpected prohibition allegedly stems from rumors circulating about a damning video featuring President Bongbong Marcos and his supposed use of a prohibited substance—specifically, that illegal white powder.

The decision has sent shockwaves through the Filipino  community, with Goldilocks reporting a significant decline in sales of their sweet, powdery delights, including the beloved ube, chocolate, and cashew flavors. The confectionery giant is bewildered by the association with the scandalous white powder, insisting that treats are purely for culinary enjoyment.

As the polvoron prohibition raises eyebrows and leaves a sugary void in the hearts of dessert enthusiasts, conspiracy theories about the illicit substance and its alleged connection to Goldilocks continue to swirl, adding a sprinkle of absurdity to the already puzzling situation.

2024: The New, Improved Lenlen

In a stunning rebranding effort, former Vice President Leni Robredo has unveiled her upgraded image for 2024, bidding farewell to her iconic lugaw and muddy field photo ops. Leni 2.0 now graces us with the spectacle of hobnobbing with none other than the King of Pinoy fast-food, Jollibee. Apparently, she’s traded disaster-stricken grounds for the hallowed floors of a Jollibee outlet. Is this a strategic move for 2025, or perhaps a second attempt, reminiscent of her bar exams, slated for 2028?

The woman who once prided herself on being first on the scene for all calamities has now found solace in the comforting arms of fried chicken and spaghetti. Rumor has it that her next big transformation involves a shift from her signature pink hue to Pantone’s color of the year — Peach Fuzz. One can only wonder if these changes will be enough to secure her political destiny or if they’re just a superficial attempt to spice up her political menu.
