Senator Bato de la Rosa’s recent escapade of paddle-boating on two rivers might symbolize his attempt to navigate the murky waters of Philippine politics. However, his actions seem to echo the age-old saying, “He can’t have his cake and eat it too.” By simultaneously flexing his senatorial powers and cozying up to Quiboloy, he appears to be engaging in political acrobatics worthy of a circus act.

Choosing to be the pastor’s security guard at a Senate probe raises eyebrows, suggesting a lack of faith in the institution he represents. It’s as if he’s saying, “I’ll guard the shepherd, but I don’t trust the flock.” Perhaps Senator de la Rosa believes in multitasking, but balancing his roles seems more like a tightrope walk than a graceful ballet.

In a political landscape where loyalty is often as fickle as the tide, Senator Bato’s paddle-boating adventure serves as a comedic reminder that in Philippine politics, the currents of ambition can often lead to turbulent waters.
