February 14: #WalangPasok!

In a surprising move, President Bongbong Marcos has declared February 14 as a national non-working holiday, not for the usual romantic festivities or religious observances, but to honor the centennial birthday of none other than Juan Ponce Enrile. Enrile, the mastermind behind the People Power Revolution that ousted Marcos’ father, Ferdinand E. Marcos, turns 100 on this day.

President Marcos explained that the standard P100,000 grant to Filipino centenarians is insufficient to pay tribute to Enrile’s political prowess. “We want to show the world that the Marcos family harbors no ill feelings towards the former senator. Having enjoyed the sunny beaches of Hawaii, we’ve returned to Malacañang, and the least we can do for Manong Johnny is dedicate a national holiday in his honor,” Marcos declared with a wink, leaving the nation to wonder if this is a genuine gesture or a cleverly veiled attempt at political satire.

Dateline Zürich: The Faces Of Altoids

The Faces of Altoids

When FPRRD took fentanyl it was  prescribed,  according to some of his friendly sources. By whom — nobody’s telling.

Granted!

He himself “jokingly  claimed“ that he used opioids, the day after he admitted using – which was not jokingly, the day before. Therefore, it is  more credible that he was  slugging fentanyl. 

No footages of him slugging the cow, no prescription was presented (I didn‘t get to see any, in fact I didn‘t care cos I deemed he legally needed it!) to show people who were not taking it easy when he jokingly rectified his first admitting the use of fetanyl.

Now, here is BBM the current President,  who is neither prescribed any opioid to anybody’s knowledge (or has any one got personal knowledge of this?) nor is it  confirmed that he is using (snorting is their favourite word) any addictive substance. Nor had the present President admitted to using paracetamol!

There was a deluge of blabber about a video, there was a barrage of talk about him using feel-good powder. 

Oooh, don‘t forget the wife – they‘re supposed to be tandem — snorting when it snows at the Palace.

Would he own up? – you may, might argue. Would PDEA say so? – another argument. Both useless arguments and one should be embarrassed to even employ such to prove a point. What point?

The singular basis for  this ugly detritus of a brain work? PBBM has an imbalanced smirk, smile, grimace.

Geniuses! Give me something to work on. Some thing that sticks.

I hate drugs!
