DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara’s Etiquette

Leave a comment

In a masterclass of political diplomacy, newly-appointed DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara boldly declared his intent to perpetuate his predecessor’s “robust” programs. The catch? These programs are as elusive as a unicorn in a haystack. Angara’s statement is akin to promising to keep the Invisible Man visible—commendable, yet fundamentally flawed.

Of course, we mustn’t fault Angara for his pledge; after all, political etiquette dictates a reverent nod to one’s predecessor, particularly when that predecessor occupies the office of the vice president.

In the grand theater of politics, Angara’s declaration serves as a prime example of the age-old adage: “If you can’t say something substantive, say something diplomatic.” Here’s to hoping Angara’s tenure will be less about ghost-chasing and more about conjuring up tangible educational reforms from the ether.

Exit Marites, Enter Lourdes!

Leave a comment

Forget “Marites” — she’s so last season. Enter “Lourdes,” the fresh face of Philippine political drama, brought to you by Senators Nancy Binay and Allan Peter Cayetano.

If you thought spreading juicy gossip was the peak of societal contribution, think again. “Lourdes” takes center stage in a gripping sequel where the plot revolves around undercutting costs, like the P23 billion new Senate building.

Picture this: an intense Senate hearing, accusations flying, and Binay’s dramatic exit. In this riveting saga, everyone’s an accountant, but no one’s seen a calculator since high school. “Lourdes” isn’t just about lowering figures; it’s about lowering the bar for public discourse.

So, next time you hear whispers of scandal, remember: it’s not about the gossip anymore. It’s about the numbers. Just make sure they’re low enough to fit the narrative.

Rodrigo On Sara Duterte: It’s A Prank!

Leave a comment

Rodrigo Duterte, the master of political theatre, has declared his daughter’s announcement about the entire Duterte clan seeking Senate seats in 2025 a mere jest.

The elder Duterte, ever the comedian, claims he’s retired from politics, dismissing the idea of a Duterte Senate takeover as laughable. Imagine, he quips, three Dutertes under one legislative roof — it’s almost as if political dynasties are a Philippine pastime! Surely, the man who brought us six years of colorful rhetoric and iron-fisted governance has more serious pursuits now, like, say, leisurely afternoons reminiscing about his illustrious career.

Meanwhile, Sara Duterte’s “prank” has left the nation in stitches, pondering the punchline of a political landscape where family reunions double as Senate sessions.

As the curtain falls on Duterte’s era, one can only wonder if this latest act is a final bow or just intermission.
