Thank God It’s Fried Day!

“Thank God It’s Fried Day” is here again, folks, and boy, what a feast we have!

Harry Roque’s sizzling bromance with Mister Supranational Philippines 2016 has everyone asking if the real contest was for the biggest bromance blunder.

Rendon Labador and Rosmar, now persona non grata courtesy of Coron, Palawan, seem to be taking “fried” a little too literally after their spat with the mayor’s staff, and for reportedly refusing to pay for food they ordered from a vendor.

Roque strikes again, claiming VP Sara Duterte is now the opposition leader, only to be promptly skewered by the Liberal Party’s spokesperson—Leile de Lima herself — ouch, that burn’s going to need some ointment.

Diwata’s performance at the Santacruzan turned a religious tradition into a farce, leaving devotees questioning if they should start praying for divine fashion intervention, or simply sulk in a bowl of pares overload.

And then there’s Vice Ganda, who apparently thinks the nation hasn’t had enough of his face and antics on TV, announcing yet another show. Filipinos collectively groaned, “Not again!” as they reached for the remote.

Happy Fried Day! Till next time!

Today’s Video: Kalma Lang, Harry Roque!

Sara Duterte As Leader Of Opposition Is An Oxymoron

In a twist worthy of a political soap opera, some now claim that Sara Duterte, fresh off her cabinet resignation, will spearhead the opposition. The idea that Duterte will oppose herself—being the Vice President and part of the current government—is a spectacular oxymoron.

While she is indeed free to criticize the Marcos administration, imagining this as a prelude to the next presidential race is naive. President Marcos Jr. isn’t running again, but Duterte might. So, for as long as Marcos Jr. is diligently performing his mandate, any opposition from Duterte and her loyalists will be nothing more than political grandstanding.

It’s a fascinating spectacle: the Vice President posturing as the opposition to an administration she’s inherently a part of. But in this circus, the only thing they’ll be juggling is a waste of everyone’s political time.

The show must go on, but it’s starting to look more like a farce than a drama.
