P20/Kilo Rice And P20/Can Of Spam!

Ah, the classic tale of giving a finger and losing your whole arm—Filipino edition!

After years of chanting “P20 rice or we riot,” critics are now whining that it looks like animal feed. Hello? That’s rice, not imported jasmine-scented unicorn grains. Our farmers worked their calloused hands to the bone, and now you’re calling their harvest pig chow? Manners, please!

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any sillier, here comes blogger Mark Anthony Lopez demanding P20 per can of SPAM. What’s next? P15 Starbucks lattes? Buy-one-take-one lechon? The man wants luxury luncheon meat at palengke prices. Let’s be real—SPAM is basically the Louis Vuitton of canned goods. If we get that for P20, I expect foie gras in carinderias by June. It’s satire at its finest, folks. The bar for political critique is so low, we’re tripping over it on our way to the rice aisle.

Camille, Namamangka Sa Dalawang Dagat?

Ah, si Camille Villar — ang reyna ng multitasking sa politika! Habang nagpapasikat sa Alyansa slate ng administrasyon, biglang may pa-smile at pa-endorso kay Inday Sara. Aba’y parang namamangka sa dalawang ilog na may hawak pang milk tea sa isang kamay at campaign flyer sa kabila.

Kung may loyalty card sa politika, baka platinum member na siya. Pero teka, endorsement nga ba o paid ad? Nagtataka lang kami kung may resibo o GCash QR code sa likod ng campaign poster. Sa sobrang flexible ni Ate, baka siya na ang inspirasyon ng bagong yoga pose: Downward Facing Trapo.

Habang ang ibang kandidato ay nagpapakahirap sa kampanya, si Camille chill lang, parang nagsho-shopping sa Vista Mall ng political alliances. Kaya naman tanong ng madla: prinsipyo ba ’yan, o promo lang? Isa lang ang sigurado—sa dami ng ilog na pinamamangkahan niya, baka magtayo na ng sariling ferry system! O baka kaya floating Camella Homes?
