Pro-Duterte, Anti-Marcos Vloggers: The Common Denominators

In the colorful realm of pro-Duterte and anti-Marcos vlogging, a symphony of common denominators plays a cacophony of misinformation. 

Fake news, the cornerstone of their content, is crafted with such finesse that even Pinocchio would be envious. Sensationalism, their trusty sidekick, transforms mundane events into Hollywood blockbusters, making the daily grind seem like a Marvel movie audition. 

The slapstick comedy woven into their narratives rivals Shakespearean farce, leaving audiences questioning if they stumbled upon a political circus or a vaudeville act. 

Pathetic attempts at sarcasm and satire resemble a failed improv session, leaving viewers wondering if a dictionary might be a more potent weapon than their punchlines.

And then, the golden rule: “follow the money.” Behind the smoke and mirrors, the puppeteers pulling the strings are masters of puppetry, turning political passion into a lucrative sideshow. As the curtain lifts, it reveals a narrative not of conviction, but a comedy of errors fueled by the jingle of pocketed coins.

Where Are The ICC Investigators?

In the grand circus of news and social media, the recent hullabaloo over ICC investigators supposedly descending upon the Philippines to probe Rodrigo Duterte’s alleged misdeeds is a masterclass in making much ado about nothing. 

It turns out the primary source of this breaking news was none other than Antonio Trillanes, a key player in the drama and a participant in the complaint filed before the ICC. Clearly, relying on a complainant for unbiased information is like trusting a cat to guard a fish market.

But wait, there’s more! The same fake news aficionados also inflated the arrival of UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan, conveniently ignoring the fact that she was invited by the Philippine government for an entirely unrelated mission. 

It seems fact-checking has become a relic of the past, replaced by a sensationalist approach that would make even Shakespeare blush. In this era of information chaos, discerning citizens are left to navigate a sea of half-truths, wondering if journalism’s motto has changed from “seek the truth” to “seek the retweets.”

Manila Bulletin’s Krizette Laureta Chu: Split Personality?

In the realm of journalism, the once esteemed Krizette Laureta Chu seems to have undergone a metamorphosis, trading her pen for the flamboyant keyboard of social media satire. 

Once celebrated for her contributions to promoting the Philippines, Chu now juggles her reputation with the finesse of a circus performer. Her transition from a Rotary Club-recognized journalist to a purveyor of political slapstick mirrors a Shakespearean tragedy, leaving audiences to question if they are witnessing a split personality spectacle.

Joining the ranks of bloggers who defy truth, accuracy, and decency, Chu’s transformation into a Duterte cheerleader seems like a journey down the rabbit hole of absurdity. Her keyboard antics, alongside the likes of Bb. Maharlika and Sass Rogando Sasot, resemble a political circus where the clowns prioritize loyalty over logic.

From orgies to orgies of political fervor, Chu’s newfound online persona leaves one wondering if her social media escapades are a desperate cry for attention or a calculated strategy to remain relevant in the carnival of political absurdity.
