Meet Aling Bebang, the self-proclaimed high priestess of the Digong MyLabs cult. A true-blue Duterte die-hard, she has made it her life’s mission to remind us—every waking moment—that President Marcos will never be loved. “NEVER!” she shrieks, as if she holds the master list of acceptable Filipino emotions.

Never mind the 31 million votes. Never mind the approval ratings. Never mind the fact that, outside her echo chamber, people have actual lives. According to Bebang, love for Marcos is impossible because, well, she said so. Who died and made her the national spokesperson for hatred?

She clutches her Duterte pillow at night, whispering sweet nothings to a framed photo of MyLabs, while composing the latest Facebook sermon about how Marcos is doomed to eternal rejection. But here’s the irony: if nobody really loves him, why is she so obsessed? Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t Marcos—it’s her.

Imee Marcos has officially left Alyansa, the political party of her own brother, President Bongbong Marcos. But let’s be honest—was she ever really in? She’s been missing in action not only in her brother’s public events but even in family reunions. (Did she at least send a Christmas card?) While other political families project unity, the Marcoses now resemble a teleserye family feud—complete with power struggles, betrayals, and a sister who just won’t play along.

Her latest move? A Senate hearing questioning the alleged ICC turnover of former President Rodrigo Duterte—an unsubtle jab at her brother’s administration. And what did that get her? A free fall in senatorial surveys, slipping out of the magic 12 like a contestant getting booted off Pinoy Big Brother. Maybe the Duterte camp will catch her fall, but will they have enough votes to carry her back to the Senate?

For now, Imee is out of Alyansa, out of favor with Malacañang, and—if the polls are to be believed—potentially out of a Senate seat. In the battle of family versus politics, she’s made her choice. The real question is: was it the right one?
