Two Deflated Spare Tires Out Of The National Security Council!

Leave a comment

In a stunning stroke of brilliance, President Bongbong Marcos has reorganized the National Security Council (NSC), booting the sitting Vice President and all living past Presidents from its fold. 

The move is being hailed as a light bulb moment in governance, not for its wisdom, but for its sheer audacity to reinvent the concept of “teamwork.”

Who could blame him? Imagine the tension of having two Dutertes—Rodrigo, the China-friendly ex-President, and Sara, the current VP—sharing the same room as the Commander-in-Chief. It’s a geopolitical minefield. How do you discuss territorial disputes with China when the room’s Feng Shui is already thrown off by their collective leanings?

This is like asking Joe Biden to sit on Donald Trump’s security council—a recipe for chaos. After all, the VP is the government’s “spare tire,” and as any driver knows, you don’t put your spare on until the original is flat. Why risk redundancy when the stakes are high?

Comelec Should Have Been Given A Hefty Budget!

Leave a comment

Ah, the Philippine national budget—a masterpiece of priorities!

Once again, we’re treated to the spectacle of zero subsidy for PhilHealth (because who needs healthcare when we have resilience, right?) and yet another generous helping of pork barrel funds for our legislators (they do love their pork extra fatty).

Meanwhile, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) remains as efficient as a carabao in quicksand. No budget boost to enforce campaign laws? Perfect! Why ruin the tradition of billboards sprouting like mushrooms even before the official campaign period begins?

Imagine if Comelec had funds to hire investigators for vote-buying cases or workers to remove illegal posters. Not only would democracy be served, but unemployment would plummet too! Revolutionary!

But why stop there? Maybe next year’s budget can include a line item for a Department of Irony—because, clearly, satire has become policy. Here’s to another year of misplaced priorities!

The New Countdown Begins!

Leave a comment

Ah, the Filipino obsession with countdowns—where time isn’t just measured, it’s celebrated long before it even matters! 

Christmas kicks off in September, leaving us serenaded by carols while the rest of the world is still recovering from summer tans. Meanwhile, businesses gleefully remind us, “114 days left until Christmas!”—as if we could forget when “Jingle Bells” blasts in every mall.

Not to be outdone, politicians and their armies of meme factories launch the next election countdown faster than you can say “2028 na, mga kababayan!” The ink on the inauguration certificates isn’t even dry, but don’t worry—they’ll tell you it’s 1,240 days until the next vote.

And now that it’s 2025, let’s brace for the new circus coming to town —the May 12 midterm elections — a spectacle featuring not just clowns and crocodiles but also big elephants no one acknowledges. 

Welcome to the Philippines, where democracy doubles as a variety show.
