An Ode To The DDS Vloggers

Leave a comment

In the realm of vlogs, where truth meets distortion,

Duterte’s disciples spin their tales with no caution.

With blind allegiance, they dance in delight,

As their idol’s antics reach absurd new heights.

They weave their narratives, oh so tight,

Ignoring the contradictions with all their might.

For Duterte can do no wrong in their eyes,

Even when he spreads his web of lies.

From accusing Marcos of sins untold,

To proposing Mindanao’s secession, bold.

They nod in agreement, with fervent applause,

As their hero leads them on with his flawed cause.

How do they sleep at night, you may ask?

With their conscience buried in a flask.

For truth is but a fleeting dream,

In the world of Duterte’s vlogosphere’s gleam.

Fools Rush In Where A Fool Treads And Leads

Leave a comment

In the ongoing circus of Philippine politics, Rodrigo Duterte continues his jester act, flip-flopping faster than a fish out of water. 

After accusing Bongbong Marcos of dabbling in the drug trade, he then proposes the secession of Mindanao from the Philippines, sparking pandemonium among his followers. 

But just as the chaos reaches a crescendo, Duterte, in his infinite jest, declares it all a joke, leaving his devotees scratching their heads in confusion.

It’s high time we consign this political prankster to the annals of oblivion, where his antics can entertain only the most gullible of spectators. For those who hang on his every word, believing them to be gospel truth, must realize that a fool can only lead a flock of fools. 

Let us not be swayed by the whims of a former president who treats governance like a stand-up comedy routine, and instead, demand a return to sanity in our political discourse.

FACT CHECK: Rodrigo Duterte Never Promised To Reduce The Price Of Rice To P7 Per Kilo! (Video)

In the grand theater of political promises, the script often gets a rewrite before reality takes the stage. 

The recent duet between President Bongbong Marcos and his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte over the price of rice provides a comical encore. While Marcos orchestrated a crescendo promising rice at P20 per kilo, Duterte’s refrain from 2018 echoed promises of a melodious P7 per kilo. 

However, fact-checking this operatic performance reveals a discordant truth: Duterte’s pledge was not a definitive price but a fanciful symphony of reduction, “up to” P7 less than prevailing rates. Yet, as audiences eagerly anticipate the grand finale of affordable rice, the promised crescendo has yet to reach its climax. 

Whether it’s P7 or P20 per kilo, the score remains unwritten, leaving citizens to wonder if this political overture will ever strike the right chord of affordability in their grocery bills.
