Top 5 For Mr. Baguio?

Leave a comment

Who knew Baguio City would bloom into the Miss Universe factory of the north? Beauty queens here don’t just slay the runway — they sashay through pine trees and traffic like it’s part of the swimsuit competition.

But wait — let’s not leave our kings behind! Introducing the top 5 contenders for Mr. Baguio, err, Councilor 2025! It’s the pageant-politics crossover we never knew we needed. These gents have platforms and political platforms — one’s even a Mr. Philippines Earth titleholder, proving he knows both climate justice and how to smize.

Watch out, barangay meetings might just turn into talent portions. “Candidate #3, what is your stand on zoning laws?” cue interpretative dance.

Come May 12, may the best man — or men — win. Bonus points for evening wear, advocacy, and passing at least one ordinance with flair.

Baguio, you’re not just the City of Pines — you’re the City of Fine Gentlemen.

Sass Rogando Sasot Outs Himself?

Leave a comment

In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela and a government PSA rolled into one, Sass Rogando Sasot has dramatically outed himself—again—but this time not as a political commentator, but as Allantroy: male, Filipino, and formerly powered by an expired U.S. student visa. Talk about plot development!

Turns out, gender may be a spectrum, but immigration records? Not so much. The U.S. may have said “bye, Troy,” but the Philippine laws are waving “hey, kabayan!” from the sidelines, armed with legal memos and a touch of archipelagic concern. Somewhere in a bureaucratic office, a DFA staffer just spilled their third cup of instant coffee.

Meanwhile, Sass (or Troy, depending on which identity is trending today) seems to think sovereignty is a fashion choice. Newsflash: you can’t ghost your citizenship just because you’re abroad. The internet never forgets, and neither do immigration forms. What a saga—Sasot’s got receipts, and now, so does the state.

Harry Roque, Parang Baboy Na Nakawala Sa Koral

Leave a comment

Ay naku, si Harry Roque na naman! Parang baboy na nakawala sa koral—pawis, galit, at lutang—pero hindi mo alam kung takot o tapang ang pinanggagalingan.

Matapos ang ilang buwang pagkakawala at nag-aasylum sa gitna ng tulip fields habang kumakain ng stroopwafel, heto’t biglang bumalik na parang walang nangyari. Wala pa man linaw sa isyu ng POGO, todo bira na agad si manong—nang-iintriga, nagsasaboy ng fake news, at tinatapatan pa ang heneral sa tapang… o baka drama lang ’yan para sa camera?

Eh kung tutuusin, mukha siyang karakter sa teleseryeng “Ang Huling Pag-ikot ng Baboy sa Pulitika”—marami raw alam, pero wala namang sinasabi na kapani-paniwala. Isang malaking tanong: ito ba’y pagtatanggol sa sarili o isang last hurrah ng isang politikong nabalutan na ng ham?

Sa sobrang gulo, baka pati baboy sa koral nagulat: “Ay, hindi ako ‘yan ha!”
