In a bizarre turn of events, Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte has expressed grave concern over the soaring prices of illegal drugs in his jurisdiction. In a statement that left many scratching their heads, Mayor Duterte lamented, “It is not fair that while drug prices and those of other basic commodities are on a downward trend, Davao City’s are on the rise.” The mayor’s unexpected sympathy for drug dealers and users has sparked speculation about the city’s economic policies and law enforcement strategies. Critics are quick to point out the irony of a city known for its tough stance on drugs now grappling with exorbitant prices in the black market.

Meanwhile, citizens are left wondering if this newfound concern will lead to innovative solutions or simply more head-scratching moments from City Hall.

To Serve And Protect The Rich And Powerful?

The Davao City Police’s supposed cluelessness about Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s whereabouts amid Senate contempt and U.S. criminal charges is a comedic tragedy emblematic of the Philippines’ socio-political landscape. 

While Quiboloy claims divine connections, the police’s bafflement exposes a farcical reality: the powerful evade justice with impunity. The irony is stark: a self-proclaimed “son of God” remains elusive while the average citizen faces the full force of the law. 

This spectacle underscores the skewed priorities of law enforcement, highlighting a system where protection is reserved for the influential. 

The Philippine National Police’s ineptitude mirrors a larger institutional malaise, where loyalty to power eclipses the pursuit of justice. Filipinos are left to ponder whether their protectors are mere elephants in the room, with selective sight and memory. 

In this theater of the absurd, the line between law enforcement and protection racket blurs, leaving citizens to question who truly serves and protects them.

Atty. Harry Roque’s recent assertion that rallying against China’s incursion into the South China Sea is merely a distraction from economic issues is as perplexing as it is revealing. It’s like suggesting we ignore a burglar in our house because catching them would disrupt our Netflix marathon. 

By advocating this, Roque essentially proposes turning a blind eye to territorial violations in exchange for financial gain, akin to letting a bully steal our lunch money in return for a few crumbs from their table. 

It’s a baffling logic that equates national sovereignty with the profitability of POGOs (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators). Perhaps next, we’ll be advised to auction off our heritage sites to the highest bidder to balance the budget. 

If Roque’s stance reflects the government’s strategic thinking, we might as well rename the country to the Republic of POGO-Land and be done with it.
