Ah, the delightful dance of political consistency performed by Harry Roque! It’s truly a marvel to witness his agile pirouettes through the shifting landscapes of media franchises.
How poetic that he now calls on journalists to rally behind the threat of canceling SMNI’s franchise, a stark departure from his earlier hit single, “Move On” when serenading the demise of ABS-CBN’s license at the time when he was spokesperson for Rodrigo Duterte. One can’t help but marvel at the intricacy of his intellectual gymnastics.
Perhaps Roque has mastered the art of selective nostalgia, cherishing the sanctity of one network’s license while discarding another’s with the nonchalance of someone tossing out expired milk. It’s a symphony of contradictions, a masterpiece of political ballet where the only consistency is inconsistency.
Bravo, Mr. Roque, for keeping us all on our toes, pirouetting through principles with the grace of a politician in perpetual motion.
In a dazzling display of journalistic acrobatics, TV host Karen Davila recently graced the cover of an obscure magazine, determined to prove she’s the unsung paragon of impartiality.
In a masterstroke of subtlety, she posed with a dual expression—one side flashing the five-finger sign symbolic of support for Leila de Lima, while the other exchanging fist bumps with Rodrigo Duterte. Aiming for the elusive middle ground, Davila declared, “Walang kinikilingan, walang kinakampihan,” as if auditioning for a role in a political trapeze act.
One can’t help but marvel at the contortions, wondering if this balancing act will secure her a spot in the Olympics of journalistic gymnastics.
Former Duterte spokesperson Harry Roque recently contorted reality by proclaiming that there is no Democracy within the hallowed halls of the House of Representatives.
Irony, it seems, has taken early retirement in the Philippines. Roque’s revelation comes as the House contemplates resolutions urging the government to graciously allow the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Duterte’s infamous war on drugs. It’s a bit like a magician complaining that his own disappearing act lacks transparency.
Roque, with a straight face and a wink to absurdity, inadvertently justifies the ICC’s intervention (which he opposes) by highlighting the lack of Democratic charm in the very institution he once was part of. He fell just short of proclaiming the justice system, and by extension, Democracy do not work in the Philippines.
Welcome to the paradoxical circus of Philippine politics, where self-awareness is in short supply, but irony is served in abundance.
