*Now that the Ombudsman has ordered the preventive suspension of Alice Go as mayor of Capas, Tarlac, will the Filipino people finally be able to breathe some fresh air after weeks of Senate hearings where the only enlightenment that would aid legislation are working in a farm and not remembering one’s personal circumstances?

*But lo and behold, the “I don’t remember, Your Honor” seems to be back in vengeance, this time from no less than former President Rodrigo Duterte whose own Health Secretary pointed fingers at him regarding some anomaly during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Philippines.

*It’s PRIDE MONTH, but many in the LGBTQI community are disavowing their most visible “role model” Vice Ganda for shaming contestants to his noon-time show, forgetting that he himself has been captured on live TV doing the exact same thing he’s accused the male contestant of. Ganda now epitomizes the “non-apology apology” after he retracted his intention to apologize to the aggrieved contestants.

*And the award of “Best Credit Grabber” goes to Maisug and SMNI (it’s a tie!) for claiming that the annual New York City Philippine Independence Day parade was their “rally” when in fact, their small contingent was a last-minute addition to this non-political event.

*It’s no longer the DDS vs. the Loyalists when it comes to Philippine politics.  More and more Dilawan — from Leni Robredo to Antonio Carpio to Koko Pimentel — are joining the bandwagon for a new “UniTeam.” Even Maria Ressa and Leila de Lima have thrown in their support for Bongbong Marcos, all but endorsing his approach to the country’s foreign policy. Hey, even Davao City Mayor Basté Duterte is hinting that UniTeam is good for the country.
