In an ironic twist worthy of a sitcom, a CEO of a research firm and a professor—titans of intellect and critical thought—found themselves in the crosshairs of online ridicule after calling out the Marcos administration for declaring a Sunday a special non-working holiday.
Their scorching critique of what they deemed as “pointless politicking” was met with an unexpected rebuttal: a glance at the Official Gazette. Surprise! Not one, but two national holidays were declared on Sundays during Duterte’s administration in 2018. The plot thickens.
One can’t help but marvel at the poetic justice of it all: champions of research caught red-handed for failing to do exactly that—research. It’s a classic tale of “glass houses” meets “throwing stones,” reminding us that irony, much like holidays on Sundays, doesn’t discriminate between administrations.
Perhaps the real special holiday is the one we take from fact-checking before tweeting, right? Malou Tiquia and Anna Malindog-Uy?
In a stunning stroke of brilliance, President Bongbong Marcos has reorganized the National Security Council (NSC), booting the sitting Vice President and all living past Presidents from its fold.
The move is being hailed as a light bulb moment in governance, not for its wisdom, but for its sheer audacity to reinvent the concept of “teamwork.”
Who could blame him? Imagine the tension of having two Dutertes—Rodrigo, the China-friendly ex-President, and Sara, the current VP—sharing the same room as the Commander-in-Chief. It’s a geopolitical minefield. How do you discuss territorial disputes with China when the room’s Feng Shui is already thrown off by their collective leanings?
This is like asking Joe Biden to sit on Donald Trump’s security council—a recipe for chaos. After all, the VP is the government’s “spare tire,” and as any driver knows, you don’t put your spare on until the original is flat. Why risk redundancy when the stakes are high?
