Bong Revilla Concedes Gracefully

Leave a comment

In a move that can only be described as uniquely Bong Revilla, the good senator graciously conceded defeat in the Senate race—despite not even sniffing the winning circle.

Sitting at No. 14, Revilla bowed out early, perhaps believing that the magic 12 had a restraining order against Budots. Was he conceding to Ben Tulfo in 13th place? Or to the ghost of his past dance moves that failed to go viral this time? It’s almost like showing up uninvited to a wedding and announcing you’re not marrying the bride.

Politicians usually concede when there’s still a sliver of hope. Revilla, ever the trendsetter, concedes when the scoreboard reads: “Nice try.” Maybe this was a new tactic—beat everyone else to the press con. Or maybe, just maybe, he finally realized that while Budots may win TikTok, it doesn’t win ballots. One thing’s for sure: he remains No. 1 in dramatic exits.

The New Senate: It’s A Family Affair

Leave a comment

Welcome to the Philippine Senate, proudly brought to you by Family Plan™!

In this next season of Senate: The Home Edition, we present an ensemble cast: two Tulfos for double the outrage, two Villars for double the housing projects, two Cayetanos for double the debates (and probably double the subtitles), and two Estradas, because Erap’s Legacy: The Sequel simply had to happen.

With one-third of the chamber now resembling a family reunion more than a legislative body, we’re just a few baptisms and kasals away from calling it the House of Representatives, Family Edition. At this point, committee assignments might be decided by who sat next to whom at last Sunday’s lunch.

Truly, nothing says “public service” like hereditary succession and sibling synergy. Who needs political parties when you have family group chats? Tune in next session—same dynastic time, same dynastic channel. Democracy never looked so… inbred.

Will Cynthia Villar Fulfill Her Campaign Promise?

Leave a comment

Ah, campaign promises—the magical spells politicians cast before elections, only to vanish like your crush’s replies after voting day.

Duterte swore he’d crush drugs and corruption in six months. Six years later, the drugs are still there, corruption’s alive and thriving, and the only thing eliminated was our sense of optimism.

Then there’s Bongbong Marcos, who promised P20/kilo rice. It only took him three years, which in politics is practically early. Sure, it’s only available in a few places, but let’s not get picky—we said rice, not where or for whom.

And now, enter Cynthia Villar: queen of land, malls, and allegedly, emotional blackmail. Her vow to take back donated land if voters don’t support her is… bold. A campaign built on threats—why promise hope when you can promise vengeance? Will she fulfill it? Knowing our political plot twists, expect a sitcom, a spin-off, and a Senate hearing before the credits roll.
