Sara Duterte: Impeachment Through Surveys!

Leave a comment

If presidents could be installed by surveys, as Vice President Sara Duterte seems to imply, then why bother with elections at all? Let Pulse Asia and SWS run the country—they’re clearly more influential than the Constitution!

By her logic, governance is no longer about platforms, accountability, or public service but the volatile whims of approval ratings. In this parallel universe, leaders should keep a resignation letter handy, just in case their numbers dip below 50%.

Applying this to her, Sara Duterte should already be drafting her farewell speech, as her trust ratings have been consistently sliding. Shouldn’t she lead by example in this hypothetical “surveyocracy”? Or is this one of those “rules for thee, but not for me” scenarios?

Alas, her stance betrays a misunderstanding of democratic principles—elections confer legitimacy, not surveys. But hey, if popularity rules, maybe influencers and TikTok stars should start preparing their inaugural addresses!

Sara Duterte Makes Her Own Laws!

Leave a comment

Sara Duterte’s relationship with the law is nothing short of groundbreaking—she’s rewriting it in real-time, as if rules are mere suggestions for mortals, not for her divine office. When asked to swear to tell the truth, she chose not to. Why bother with such trifles when you can simply redefine truth itself? Her “conditional act of revenge” spin on grave threats might as well be her audition for a career in Orwellian doublespeak. Now, as potential criminal charges loom, she’s boldly demanding pre-interview cheat sheets from the National Bureau of Investigation. Why? Perhaps so she can prepare a more creative reinterpretation of accountability.

It’s an inspired twist on “no one is above the law”—just edit the law until it fits snugly beneath your feet. Sara Duterte isn’t breaking the law; she’s making it. After all, who needs justice when you’ve got improvisation?

Ang Pinagtagpi-tagping EDSA People Power

Leave a comment

Ang “Pinagtagpi-tagping People Power sa EDSA” ay tunay na obra maestra ng malikhaing imahinasyon at advanced photo editing skills. Sa dami ng rallyists, tila nagmistulang Where’s Waldo ang mga litrato—na para bang kailangan mo ng magnifying glass para makita kung nasaan sila. Sabi nga nila, pictures don’t lie, pero kung na-edit, na-slice, at na-crop ang mga larawan, aba’y ibang usapan na ’yan.

Ang resulta? Ang crowd sa EDSA ay parang nag-teleport mula drone shot papunta sa PowerPoint presentation. Isa itong tagumpay ng teknolohiya, kung saan kahit ang kulang-kulang ay nagmumukhang “siksikan.” Bravo sa mga “creatives” na kayang gawing grandioso ang kahit anong event gamit lamang ang copy-paste.

Sa panahon ng fake news, nagiging trendsetter ang ganitong klaseng “photo activism.” At ang mensahe? Hindi mahalaga ang dami ng tao basta’t mahalaga ang illusion. Sa bandang huli, hindi rally ang tunay na event, kundi ang editing contest.
