A Rally To Pray For The Appointed Son Of God?

In a stunning display of divine delusion, followers of Apollo Quiboloy, self-proclaimed “appointed son of God,” gather in a prayer rally to support their embattled leader. Despite the irony of praying for a man who claims divine status, the faithful opted for earthly intervention in the form of a rally demanding justice for Quiboloy’s legal woes. Perhaps they missed the memo on the deity hierarchy or confused supplication with support.

With recent prayer rallies setting a colorful precedent, one can’t help but wonder if we’ll witness a heavenly chorus of expletives this time. After all, nothing says “divine intervention” like a litany of profanity from the faithful.

Irony seems lost on the devout, as they demand justice for a man facing criminal charges both stateside and in the Philippines. But who needs logic when you have blind faith and a fervent belief in the infallibility of one man’s divine appointment?

Happy Birthday, Not Happy Birthday Party -lists.

As Filipinos commemorate the anniversary of the party-list system, it’s like celebrating a birthday of a once-beloved friend who has now turned into a scheming, self-serving foe.

What was meant to be a beacon of hope for marginalized communities has morphed into a breeding ground for political opportunists and their personal agendas. The party-list system, once hailed as a champion of the underrepresented, now resembles a dysfunctional reality show where the contestants vie not for the betterment of society but for their own egotistical gains. 

With each passing year, the system’s original noble intentions fade further into obscurity, overshadowed by the stench of corruption and cronyism. 

As the clamor to scrap the law grows louder, one can’t help but wonder if it’s time to throw this failed experiment into the dustbin of history and start anew. After all, birthdays are meant to be celebrations, not reminders of betrayal and disillusionment.
