Double Standard Over The Word “Kill?”

Leave a comment

In the ever-entertaining theater of Philippine politics and showbiz, Sharon Cuneta’s recent family drama takes center stage. 

In a not-so-subtle social media announcement, she declared her daughters’ willingness to commit acts of violence for their beloved mama and for each other. Paging Facebook and Instagram, are family hit squads now an acceptable part of your community standards?

Meanwhile, in the parallel universe of political correctness, former President Duterte finds himself facing legal action for uttering the taboo word “kill.” Representative France Castro, ever the vigilant guardian of verbal decorum, slams Duterte for his apparent lack of sensitivity.  An SMNI News program was also suspended by MTRCB for the exact same Duterte statement.

But wait, is there a double standard at play? While Duterte faces legal woes, Cuneta revels in familial blood pacts without a hitch. Does showbiz possess some mystical immunity, or are we witnessing a theatrical production where rules only apply to politicians? In this curious landscape, perhaps satire is the only consistent element.

If Cuneta used an idiom, couldn’t Duterte have used a figure of speech?

Rappler’s Lian Buan: Want A Master’s Degree? Destroy Your Own Country

Leave a comment

In the twisted realm of academic achievement, Lian Buan’s master’s degree is a shining example of how to leave your country in ruins while clutching a diploma. Her dissertation reads like a manual on the fine art of national degradation, drawing inspiration from her mentor, Maria Ressa, the maestro of orchestrating chaos to snag a Nobel Prize. Buan’s groundbreaking thesis delves into innovative ways to tarnish a nation’s reputation, with chapters on disinformation campaigns, sensationalized reporting, and the strategic use of victimhood.

It seems that the key to academic success lies in embracing a curriculum that mirrors the destructive path of your role models. Forget about contributing positively to society; the real accolades come from perfecting the art of undermining your own country on the global stage. After all, why build bridges when you can burn them and still claim academic prowess? It’s a darkly satirical twist on education, where the road to a master’s degree is paved with the rubble of one’s own nation’s reputation.

P50K A Month To Monitor Jay Sonza’s P1 Million?

Leave a comment

In the latest episode of “The Chronicles of Jay Sonza’s Social Media Mysteries,” the former broadcaster unveils a secret admirer – a covert netizen who allegedly receives a hefty P50K monthly stipend for the riveting task of monitoring Sonza’s online escapades. 

Move over, NSA, we’ve got a new surveillance maestro in town, and his target is the man who brought you the news (and now, apparently, unintended comedy).

As Jay Sonza continues to rake in a cool million as the oracle of SMNI News, one can only wonder: is this mysterious follower a social media aficionado or a highly specialized investigator with a knack for deciphering Sonza’s cryptic posts? 

Speculation abounds, fueled by Sonza’s refusal to drop any names, leaving us to imagine a scenario where PNP or NBI personnel are clandestinely sipping coffee at a McDonald’s, scrolling through Sonza’s timeline, and pondering the mysteries of life – or at least the mysteries of his consulting fee. (Sonza had been previously charged with estafa and illegal recruitment

It seems that in the world of Jay Sonza, every post chapter in a novel of absurdity and intrigue.

By the way P50K is the monthly compensation of a government employee under salary grade 19!
