Ah, the modern minefield of pop performances: one can’t simply belt out a tune without tiptoeing around societal expectations.
Sarah Geronimo’s lyric tweaks during her ASAP comeback were, no doubt, a strategic move—because what’s a primetime stage if not a safe space for heteronormativity? By transforming Chappell Roan’s sapphic lament into a sanitized rom-com subplot, Geronimo not only straightened out the narrative but also, apparently, the identities of a few too many fictional bar-goers.
Netizens were quick to sharpen their pitchforks, accusing the pop diva of erasing the queer experience. After all, who needs representation when you can have a gender-neutral karaoke moment?
Geronimo, in her quest to “relate to everyone,” may have inadvertently highlighted the age-old adage: the road to controversy is paved with lyrical good intentions. Perhaps next time, she’ll just hum the melody—and let social media write the verses.
In a stunning display of synchronized thinking, Atty. Harry Roque and Sass Rogando Sasot both posted identical comments about the Bicol floods and the region’s 9.4 billion-peso flood control projects—without acknowledging each other!
Netizens, of course, had a field day, accusing them of plagiarism. But let’s not be hasty. Perhaps this is a higher form of communication, one only available to Duterte diehards. It’s a unique skill: posting the same thoughts simultaneously without coordination or citation.
Or maybe, just maybe, the gaydar phenomenon is at work here. As every member of the LGBT community knows, there’s an unspoken connection—a deep, intuitive understanding of each other’s vibes. Who’s to say Roque and Sasot aren’t connected by this invisible thread? It’s not intellectual theft; it’s just a special bond that transcends logic, reason, and, apparently, originality. Call it “fanaticism telepathy,” if you will.
Jude Bacalso, the self-proclaimed champion of gender identity, is back in the spotlight after forcing a poor waiter to stand for two hours as penance for the heinous crime of calling him “sir.”
Bacalso, who believes in justice through public humiliation, has once again proven that the only way to teach respect is through sheer tyranny. Apparently, being “misgendered” three times in one lifetime warrants a medieval form of punishment, because why waste time on educating people when you can just berate them into submission?
The fact that there’s no law against “misgendering” seems to have escaped Bacalso’s grasp, but no matter! Demanding recognition for one’s gender preference clearly requires a healthy dose of arrogance and entitlement. After all, it’s not respect through kindness that will change the world — it’s forcing others to conform through public shaming. Bacalso, truly a hero for our times.
