Malcolm Conlan, The Self-Proclaimed Brit Savior Of The Philippines

LONDON—Self-proclaimed “Filipino advocate” Malcolm Conlan, a Brit with an impressive collection of Barong Tagalog and unsolicited opinions, has once again inserted himself into Philippine affairs.

Conlan, best known for his prolific letter-writing campaigns—to Donald Trump, King Charles, the Emir of Qatar and, for all we know, Santa Claus—has turned his online petitions into an art form.

Who can forget his heartfelt plea to strip Maria Ressa of Filipino citizenship, because apparently, Conlan wants it for himself.

Filipinos worldwide are reportedly baffled. “Who appointed him our spokesperson?” asked one netizen. “Did we miss an election?”

Sources say Conlan spends his days refreshing change.org, awaiting new causes to champion—preferably those that involve defending Rodrigo Duterte, demanding international intervention, or reminding people he once rode a jeepney.

Is it time for us to start a petition om change.org to ban Conlan from well change.org?

As of press time, King Charles, et.al. have yet to respond to his letters, presumably too busy being actual heads of state.

An Open Letter To King Charles

Your Royal Highness,

I would like to recommend that Mr. Malcolm Conlan be given a job in the Ministry Of Foreign Relations, or whatever you call that government agency.

His passion for writing letters to heads-of-state and international agencies, though utterly useless and senseless, deserves to be noticed, and will prove to be quite amusing and entertaining to your subjects.

Cheerio,

Bloggers Furious As Mainstream Media Encroaches On Their “Fake News” Turf!

MANILA—In a shocking turn of events, mainstream media has been caught red-handed engaging in what was once the exclusive domain of bloggers: spreading fake news with confidence, only to retract it moments later.

GMA News, known for its supposed journalistic integrity, boldly reported that former President Rodrigo Duterte had been denied asylum in China—based on an infallible, undisclosed “source.” However, in a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, the network soon backpedaled, effectively debunking itself.

This blunder has enraged local bloggers, who now fear their monopoly on disinformation is at risk. “We built this empire! We spent years perfecting the art of misleading headlines and baseless claims!” one anonymous blogger lamented.

Experts say the incident proves that no one has a monopoly on fake news. With legacy media now in the game, disinformation has never been more democratic.
