You Pay Taxes? U.P. And Taylor Swift Thank You!

Ah, the University of the Philippines, where taxpayer money isn’t just for textbooks and lab equipment; it’s also for diving deep into the lyrical genius of Taylor Swift. 

Who needs Jose Rizal’s groundbreaking literature or Nora Aunor’s iconic performances when you can dissect the deeper meaning behind “Shake It Off” or “Blank Space”? 

Clearly, UP knows where its priorities lie – forget about national heroes; let’s idolize pop stars instead. After all, who needs historical context or cultural significance when you can analyze the evolution of Swift’s hairstyles over the years? 

Perhaps next semester, they’ll offer a course on the intricacies of Justin Bieber’s discography and tattoos or the symbolism behind Ariana Grande’s ponytail. Because why study the past when you can study the latest Billboard charts? 

UP, where academics meet the latest pop sensation – talk about hitting the books, Taylor Swift style.

An Ode To The DDS Vloggers

Leave a comment

In the realm of vlogs, where truth meets distortion,

Duterte’s disciples spin their tales with no caution.

With blind allegiance, they dance in delight,

As their idol’s antics reach absurd new heights.

They weave their narratives, oh so tight,

Ignoring the contradictions with all their might.

For Duterte can do no wrong in their eyes,

Even when he spreads his web of lies.

From accusing Marcos of sins untold,

To proposing Mindanao’s secession, bold.

They nod in agreement, with fervent applause,

As their hero leads them on with his flawed cause.

How do they sleep at night, you may ask?

With their conscience buried in a flask.

For truth is but a fleeting dream,

In the world of Duterte’s vlogosphere’s gleam.

Ah, the timeless dance of political doubletalk – a spectacle as predictable as it is exasperating. 

Politicians, masters of the art of evasion, spin their rhetoric like a web of deceit, only to backtrack when caught in the snare of their own words. The cycle repeats ad nauseam: a public statement is made, swiftly followed by cries of misquotation, allegations of fake news, or conveniently scapegoating unsuspecting staff members. 

Yet, amidst this labyrinth of disingenuity, a rare breed emerges – those courageous souls who dare to admit their fallibility. Hail to these paragons of humility, who recognize that opinions evolve and minds change. In a world where permanence is but a fleeting illusion, their willingness to embrace transformation stands as a beacon of authenticity amidst a sea of political obfuscation. 

Let us raise a toast to the politicians who dare to defy the status quo and embrace the liberating power of owning up to misstatements.
