Chiz And The Clamor: A Biblical Misinterpretation

Senate President Chiz Escudero has done it—he’s likened the calls for VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment process to the clamor to crucify Jesus Christ. The audacity! The drama! The theological gymnastics!

Now, Christians agree on one thing: Jesus was innocent. The same certainty cannot be said for VP Sara, whose controversies range from her confidential funds saga to that ver public threat to kill the First Couple and Senate President. Comparing her situation to that of the Son of God? Well, that’s a stretch even Lazarus wouldn’t come back from.

But Chiz, ever the eloquent dodger, seems to suggest that if public outcry led to Jesus’ unjust crucifixion, then maybe we should slow down on the impeachment talk. Sorry, Senator, but that’s not how due process works. The clamor isn’t the trial—the impeachment is. It’s not about political martyrdom; it’s about accountability.

So why the hesitation? Is it divine intervention, or just good old-fashioned procrastination? The people aren’t asking for a crucifixion. They’re asking for a fair investigation. Let’s not turn this into the Passion of the Sara.

Stop sermonizing, Chiz. Just let the process unfold. Otherwise, we might start calling you Pontius Pilate—minus the historical significance.

Defending The Indefensible Dutertes

Ah, the art of Defending the Indefensible—a skill perfected by Duterte diehards who can twist reality better than a telenovela plot. Never mind the recorded threats, congressional hearings, or actual criminal cases; to these fanatics, the father-daughter duo remains untouchable, if not downright divine.

Desperation, however, has hit new lows. Bloggers, ever hungry for monetization (or the occasional propaganda payday), cling to the fantasy that these two are destined for national monuments—perhaps with statues that automatically curse at critics. Some even whisper about sainthood, because what’s a few expletives and extrajudicial shortcuts compared to miracles like prayer-rallies that exalt the demigods?

And so, the circus continues, with these loyalists bending over backward to justify the unjustifiable. If historical revisionism were an Olympic sport, they’d sweep the gold. But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures—especially when views and super chats are on the line!

A Bad Day For The #FakeNews37

Ah, the Tri-comm hearing on fake news—yet another installment of our national telenovela, where the plot twists are as predictable as the bad acting.

As expected, the usual suspects were a no-show, their excuse neatly packaged in a petition pending before the Supreme Court (because nothing screams “accountability” like running to the judiciary). But fate had other plans. Subpoenas rained down like karma in real-time, and their greatest hits of disinformation were projected for all to see—bigger, louder, and even less defensible.

Adding to the spectacle, a certain “not-a-blogger” journalist tried to lawyer up, only for her counsel to promptly fold like a cheap umbrella, agreeing with the committee members.

Meanwhile, Kuryente King got a taste of his own medicine when Ace Barbers read aloud his insult—only to fire back with a not-so-subtle personal jab. And so, the circus tent remains open. Will the runaway bloggers return for the next episode? Stay tuned.
