May The Almighty Have Mercy On Jay Sonza’s Soul

Leave a comment

Ah, Jay Sonza—once a respectable broadcaster, now a full-time purveyor of Facebook fiction and Telegram tall tales. From peddling half-baked conspiracy theories to serving as a mouthpiece for his preferred political overlords, he has truly mastered the art of misinformation.

But his latest stunt—posting fake news about the Pope’s supposed passing—should be the final wake-up call for his remaining, reality-challenged followers. If you still trust him after this, you might as well believe in fairy tales and talking unicorns.

Of course, Sonza swiftly deleted the post, perhaps realizing that even divine intervention couldn’t save him from the embarrassment. But the internet never forgets. At this point, not even his fellow propagandists can deny that his credibility is deader than the Pope he falsely reported on.

May the Almighty have mercy on his soul—because fact-checkers and the public certainly won’t.

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done (on the Senate Floor as it is in Heaven)

(AC team member Melchor Vergara contributed to this report)

As the 2025 campaign season heats up, politicians are once again proving that the road to public office is paved with divine interventions—at least in their minds. From Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s senatorial aspirations (because apparently, God’s will includes parliamentary immunity) to Senate President Chiz Escudero likening Sara Duterte’s impeachment woes to the Passion of Christ, it seems the Almighty has His hands full managing Philippine politics.

If every candidate claiming divine endorsement were telling the truth, heaven’s political party list must be more crowded than a Manila EDSA bus at rush hour. Perhaps it’s time to dissolve the Comelec and let churches handle elections. Imagine it: confession booths doubling as voting stations, indulgences as campaign donations, and excommunications for vote-buying. The homily could be replaced with a presidential debate, and instead of surveys, we’d rely on prophetic visions (or at least divine audits of campaign funds).

But let’s be real—if holiness guaranteed victory, we’d have saints in Congress. Instead, we have… well, what we have. So come Election Day, let’s pray for wisdom—but also remember that ballots, not miracles, determine who gets to serve (or self-serve) in government. Amen?

Chiz And The Clamor: A Biblical Misinterpretation

Leave a comment

Senate President Chiz Escudero has done it—he’s likened the calls for VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment process to the clamor to crucify Jesus Christ. The audacity! The drama! The theological gymnastics!

Now, Christians agree on one thing: Jesus was innocent. The same certainty cannot be said for VP Sara, whose controversies range from her confidential funds saga to that ver public threat to kill the First Couple and Senate President. Comparing her situation to that of the Son of God? Well, that’s a stretch even Lazarus wouldn’t come back from.

But Chiz, ever the eloquent dodger, seems to suggest that if public outcry led to Jesus’ unjust crucifixion, then maybe we should slow down on the impeachment talk. Sorry, Senator, but that’s not how due process works. The clamor isn’t the trial—the impeachment is. It’s not about political martyrdom; it’s about accountability.

So why the hesitation? Is it divine intervention, or just good old-fashioned procrastination? The people aren’t asking for a crucifixion. They’re asking for a fair investigation. Let’s not turn this into the Passion of the Sara.

Stop sermonizing, Chiz. Just let the process unfold. Otherwise, we might start calling you Pontius Pilate—minus the historical significance.
