Ah, the power of social media. Almost instantly, we are presented with documents that tel the story about people, places and events — like the May 7 Dumaguete City Maisug Prayer Rally.
Written communications among the rally organizers, the LGH and local police have surfaced to give us an inking on why the mass gathering has been cancelled.
But wait a minute, if we were to use Senator Bato de la Rosa’ litmus test to determine authenticity, then we can safely say the online document are fake.
Ah, the irony of a “Rally for Peace” being cancelled due to safety concerns. It seems the only thing keeping the peace in Dumaguete is the absence of a rally!
With high-profile personalities like the Duterte clan, Harry Roque, Glenn Chong, and who knows — a surprise appearance by Senator Imee Marcos — one wonders if the police ran out of handcuffs or just misplaced their riot gear. Perhaps they will be too busy posing for selfies with the VIPs to focus on crowd control. And let’s not forget the brilliant suggestion of a Zoom rally – because nothing says “revolutionary spirit” like tuning in from the comfort of your living room.
So,let’s raise a virtual protest sign and blame Duterte and Co. for robbing us of the spectacle of a cancelled rally. Who needs peace when you have the drama of bureaucratic bungling?
In a stroke of genius—or madness—Marilao’s newest resort, “Arctic Oasis,” dumped mountains of ice into its swimming pool, promising customers a chilly reprieve from the scorching heat. While sun-seekers rejoiced, chaos brewed beyond the resort’s frosty gates. The unprecedented demand for ice left Bulacan’s vendors in a meltdown, unable to whip up the beloved Filipino treat, halo-halo. As temperatures soared, so did tempers, with locals forced to choose between a dip in the icy pool or the sweet, icy goodness of halo-halo. In this chilling saga, paradise came at a price: the province teetered on the brink of a frozen apocalypse, where the choice between Purgatory (sweating it out) and Hell (no halo-halo) proved too bitter to bear. As the ice cubes dwindled and tensions rose, Marilao learned a valuable lesson: in the battle against heat, sometimes the cure is worse than the fever.
