Vlogger Maharlika continues to fail miserably on her promise of scandalous footage. Despite the hype, the purported polvoron video featuring Bongbong Marcos remains as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster.

But fear not, dear viewers, for karma has a wicked sense of humor. As die-hard anti-Marcos and pro-Duterte vloggers and news media lick their wounds from the lack of scandal, netizens have stumbled upon a delightful treat: a video allegedly showing a Duterte indulging in some herbal relaxation. Oh, the irony! While illegal substances are par for the course in the political circus, it seems the tables have turned.

But don’t hold your breath for Maharlika to showcase this gem. After all, selective outrage is the name of the game. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show as the hypocrisy unfolds in real-time.

PH Supreme Court Decision On Trillanes Should Be Enough To Keep ICC Out Of The Country

April 3, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

In a stunning twist of irony, the Philippine Supreme Court, dominated by Duterte’s own appointees, has struck down his attempt to revoke Antonio Trillanes’ amnesty. With 13 out of 15 justices owing their seats to Duterte, it’s a remarkable display of judicial independence—so remarkable that it’s almost comical.

This bold move proves that the Philippine justice system is functioning flawlessly, obviating any need for meddling by international bodies like the ICC. Duterte, ever the paragon of legal virtue, insists on facing local courts but draws the line at foreign scrutiny. Now, as a mere citizen, Duterte may find himself facing the very justice system he once championed.

But fear not, for the beacon of domestic justice shines bright, or so we’re told. Unless, of course, we still harbor a peculiar fondness for international fingers poking into our legal affairs.

Larry Gadon’s Brilliant Anti-Poverty Proposal: Double The Number Of Senators!

April 3, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Larry Gadon’s proposed constitutional amendments, doubling the number of Philippine senators and extending the terms of elected local officials, epitomize political absurdity masquerading as anti-poverty strategy.

As the appointed anti-poverty czar under President Bongbong Marcos, Gadon seems to believe that increasing the Senate to 48 members and elongating terms will magically alleviate poverty. However, one must wonder how adding more politicians and extending their tenures will translate to more food on the tables of the less fortunate. It appears Gadon missed the memo from his boss advocating for economic, not political, changes to the 1987 constitution.

Is this Gadon’s clandestine ploy to bolster his own chances at a Senate seat, recognizing his perpetual exclusion from the esteemed Magic 12 (he was No. 20 in the last elections) or even the circle of 24?

But really, what can we expect of a disbarred lawyer who heckles his critics with shouts of “bobo,” gives them his middle finger, and cusses on social media.

In the theater of Philippine politics, it seems clowns aren’t just in the circus; they’re drafting constitutional amendments.
