Quo Vadis, Imee Marcos?

Senator Imee Marcos, ever the astute political navigator, made headlines earlier this year by pledging to salvage the UniTeam between her brother, President Bongbong Marcos, and her BFF, VP Sara Duterte. With a wink and a nod, she assured everyone that unity was the goal—despite her very public disagreements with Bongbong’s policies. Fast forward a few months, and the UniTeam is as unified as a jigsaw puzzle missing half its pieces. 

Now, as Bongbong’s ratings soar and Sara’s plummet, one can’t help but wonder: will Imee stick to her original pledge, or will she, like a seasoned acrobat, gracefully pivot mid-air to land safely on the side with better prospects? 

After all, 2025 looms, and the question of whether blood is thicker than political water remains. Whatever her next move, one thing’s for sure—she’ll make it with a smile that’s as inscrutable as it is strategic.

Six Years In The Making: Non-Existent National ID

Today (August 6) marks the sixth anniversary of the grand vision of a fool-proof national ID system for Filipinos, signed into law by none other than then-President Rodrigo Duterte.

The plan promised a shiny new era of efficient identification, but alas, the dream remains as elusive as a unicorn in Manila traffic. Millions of Filipinos, hopeful and patient, are still waiting for their IDs to materialize—some for as long as six years!

So, what exactly are we celebrating today? A tribute to the ghost of IDs past, perhaps?

The non-existent national ID remains a topic of national intrigue, a tale of bureaucratic mystery. As we mark this milestone, let’s all hold our breath and cross our fingers for next year. Maybe then, we’ll finally see these mythical IDs. Until then, same time, same channel, folks!
