Glenn Chong Takes Anti-Smartmatic Crusade To The U.S.

Leave a comment

Atty. Glenn Chong (seen in this YouTube screen capture with Bb. Maharlika in California), the valiant crusader against Smartmatic’s election machinations, has embarked on a grand U.S. escapade, armed not with ballots, but with a purported written declaration that seems to have missed its destination by a wide margin. 

Much to the surprise of those expecting a damning exposé on Smartmatic’s misdeeds in Philippine elections, Chong’s magnum opus is slated to play a supporting role in a courtroom drama across the Pacific.

In a delightful twist, Chong’s revelations won’t be the protagonist in the saga against Smartmatic; instead, they’ll be cast as the unlikely defense in a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against the media company One America News Network (OANN). 

The irony drips thicker than the ink on Chong’s declaration as OANN fights allegations of defaming Smartmatic for their coverage of the 2020 U.S. presidential elections.

Perhaps Chong, the gallant knight of anti-Smartmatic lore, could find a more fitting quest in aiding the U.S. prosecution against former Comelec chief Andy Bautista (who faces charges of bribery and money-laundering.) But, one wonders, will Chong’s truth-seeking sword be sharp enough for U.S. prosecutors, or will it prove to be a mere useless prop in this transcontinental political theater? 

Time will tell if Chong’s journey across the seas leads to a heroic showdown or a satirical plot twist.

A Fresh And Sparkling Opportunity For Perrier And Mico’s Fresh Buko Juice!

Leave a comment

Perrier and Mico’s Fresh Buko Juice have a golden marketing opportunity for their products, thanks to the hunger strike of SMNI News talents Lorraine Badoy and Ka Eric, detained at the House of Representatives.  Both were cited for contempt of Congress.

Badoy has revealed that in the course of their hunger strike, she and Ka Eric have been sustaining themselves with Perrier sparkling water and fresh buko juice.

Eager to showcase their products and social consciousness, both companies are seriously considering to seize the chance to donate cases of their beverages to the detainees.

Imagine the visual spectacle – Badoy and Ka Eric, languishing in a sea of Perrier bubbles and Buko bliss, graciously provided by these generous beverage giants. 

Forget about the mundane hunger strike launched by netizens which, with a time frame of 6pm to 12 MN sounds more like intermittent fasting for weight loss.

Shipping the refreshments to the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City will not only boost sales but also cast the companies as benevolent saviors of the parched proletariat.

Forget netizens suggesting daily fasting support; let’s turn this into a sparkling spectacle of solidarity. After all, nothing says “we care” like sustaining a hunger strike exclusively with premium mineral water and exotic coconut juice. 

Perrier and Mico’s, your time to shine – and hydrate – has arrived!

What Suppression Of Free Speech?

Leave a comment

In the surreal world of Philippine politics, where irony thrives like mold on damp walls, the House of Representatives’ contempt charges against SMNI News talents Lorraine Badoy and Ka Eric have ignited cries of “suppression of free speech.” Oh, the melodrama! The air is thick with self-righteous indignation, as if the very essence of free speech is being squeezed out of the room.

Yet, in this bizarro universe, the supposed victims find themselves in detention quarters that are curiously well-documented and freely splashed across social and news media. It’s a suppression so effective that it comes with a hashtag and a selfie. SMNI’s attorney, armed with a smartphone and an unshakeable sense of irony, becomes a fearless chronicler of this supposed oppression, with no gag order in sight.

In a land where contradiction reigns supreme, the cries of stifled speech are drowned out by the cacophony of freely shared detention selfies and unabashed criticism. It seems in this theater of the absurd, irony is the only currency that never loses its value.
