Blogging, that noble pursuit of truth and integrity—where loyalty lasts only until the next trending hashtag or highest bidder.
In this glittering world of self-proclaimed punditry, principles are but props, and allegiance is as disposable as a single-use face mask. Today, our valiant blogger might pen a tearful ode to a politician’s virtues; tomorrow, they’ll artfully roast that same politician over a bonfire of clickbait headlines. After all, consistency is overrated when there’s engagement to chase.
And why stop at politics? Celebrities like Sharon Cuneta become collateral damage in the relentless quest for viral moments. A strategic selfie, a witty insult, or a faux apology—it’s all fodder for the algorithm. What matters isn’t sincerity but SEO.
So here’s to bloggers: the modern-day mercenaries of public opinion. No loyalty, no shame, but hey, at least the comment section is lively, even if their morals are not.
Vice President Sara Duterte’s brilliant solution to employ private security if her government-provided bodyguards are withdrawn deserves applause.
Truly, it’s a selfless act to save taxpayers from funding her mere 400-person security detail—because who needs the excess manpower, right? By tapping into private security, she exemplifies fiscal responsibility, though one might wonder how “private” it really is if the funding comes from, say, a certain pot of “intelligence” or “confidential” funds. But let’s not dwell on details—those are best left unaccounted for, as tradition dictates.
Surely, the Filipino people, struggling with rising inflation and stagnant wages, will sleep soundly knowing their Vice President prioritizes their financial welfare. And if critics dare connect the dots between this plan and the congressional inquiries into her office’s “missing” millions, let’s hope her private security can handle damage control as well as they handle, well, her.
