Today’s Sing-along: Bye, Bye, Mr.American Whiskey (video)

ctto

(to the tune of “American Pie”)

[Verse 1]

A long, long time ago, I can still remember

How that whiskey used to warm my soul.

But tariffs came, the price got high,

And now my glass is running dry—

I knew that we’d be losing it too soon.

[Verse 2]

So bye-bye to Kentucky supply,

Now I’m sipping maple bourbon with a tear in my eye.

Them good old boys used to drink it with pride,

Now it’s taxed up and stacked up so high.

[Verse 3]

Well, I went down to my old saloon,

The bartender sang a lonesome tune,

He said, “Son, Jack and Jim are hard to find.”

So I turned to rye from Montreal,

But it just don’t have that kick at all—

Another drink, another dream left behind.

(Chorus repeats…)

U.P. Students To Stage 2nd Oblation Run, Inspired By Trump’s Love For Unmasked Protests!

(AC geopolitical correspondent Brian Neyra contributed to this report)

In a move of sheer brilliance (or sheer lack of clothing), U.P. Diliman students have announced a second Oblation Run this year, standing in solidarity with their American counterparts after Donald Trump’s latest tantrum—I mean, policy decision.

The former U.S. president declared that universities hosting “illegal protests” would lose federal funding, tweeting, “No more masks!” Naturally, U.P. students took this as a divine command.

“We hear you, Trump! No more masks,” declared one runner, proudly removing his face covering but keeping his dignity barely intact. The event, scheduled for April 1, promises to be a powerful statement—one that neither Trump nor prudish onlookers can unsee.

Observers are divided: some call it a bold act of defiance, others a hilarious misinterpretation of international politics. Either way, with their signature bravery (and breezy attire), these students prove once again that U.P. remains at the forefront of activism—and streaking.

China Boosts Palawan Tourism!

In a surprising turn of events, China’s claim over Palawan is shaping up to be the greatest tourism campaign the province has ever seen! With whispers that the island might soon require a visa (or worse, a new Mandarin name), Filipinos are rushing to visit while it’s still officially part of the Philippines. Local businesses are cashing in, offering “Last Chance Philippine Palawan” tours, complete with snorkeling, seafood, and a free crash course in diplomatic disputes.

Even travel agencies are getting creative—offering packages like “Visit Now Before It’s a Disputed Zone” and “South China Sea Staycation.” Meanwhile, real estate prices are soaring, with investors betting on Palawan becoming the next Hong Kong—just with better beaches and fewer extradition laws.

At this rate, the Department of Tourism might even thank China for the economic boost! Who knew that an international territorial conflict could be so profitable?
