In a bizarre twist of delusional grandeur, Atty. Harry Roque, former spokesperson of Rodrigo Duterte, has turned from spinning falsehoods to spinning fantasies of rebellion. Taking to social media, Roque proudly admits to participating in a prayer rally turned coup plot, with dreams of storming Malacañang to prevent the return of President Bongbong Marcos from his European escapade.
It’s as if Roque and his cronies are starring in their own poorly scripted action movie, where reality takes a back seat to their megalomaniacal desires.
The audacity to incite illegal acts in a futile bid to cling to a power long evaporated is both laughable and terrifying. While the constitution may grant citizens the right to make arrests, the irony of using it to apprehend a man plotting against the highest law of the land is too rich to ignore.
Perhaps Roque should start barricading his own office, for the only thing he’s inciting is disbelief and the urge for a reality check.
Ah, the timeless tradition of critics turning presidential achievements into comedic fodder continues with Marcos’ foreign escapades. Labeling these trips as mere “pasyal” or junkets is as predictable as the rising sun. It seems critics have mastered the art of transforming gold into fool’s gold, turning fruitful engagements into supposed financial black holes.
But lo and behold, the outcomes of these escapades speak louder than the critics’ clamor. With pledges soaring to a staggering P4 trillion, billions have already materialized, proving that these trips are not all play and no work.
Take Marcos’ recent voyage to the Czech Republic, for instance. Despite the naysayers’ skepticism, the Philippines secured a crucial ally in its battle for sovereignty in the South China Sea. Now, we wonder how the critics will contort this undeniable success into another tale of wasteful extravagance. Truly, their creativity knows no bounds.
