In a twist that would make even the most seasoned scriptwriter raise an eyebrow, President Bongbong Marcos finds himself donning the badge of honor as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. 

Cue the outrage! As predictable as sunrise in the tropics, anti-Marcos crusaders, led by the indomitable Raissa Robles, are sure to turn redder than the proverbial scarlet letter. With Robles’ holy grail “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again” relegated to the dusty shelves of literary obscurity, she and her ilks must now face the reality that another Marcos has sauntered into Malacañang. Bring in the sour grapes!

It’s a narrative twist worthy of a telenovela finale, where the underdog rises to power despite the odds, leaving the critics sputtering like malfunctioning fireworks on New Year’s Eve. 

So, grab your popcorn, folks, because the sequel to the Marcos saga promises to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions and, of course, endless memes.
