Pares Olympics In Quezon City On July 26!

Leave a comment

In a surprising twist, controversial personalities Diwata, Rosmar, and Rendon Labador have announced they will sponsor a national event in Quezon City on July 26, 2024, coinciding with the opening of the Paris Olympics.

This move comes after Rosmar and Labador were declared persona non grata in Coron, Palawan, following an incident involving a staff member of the mayor.

Dubbed the “Pares Olympics,” the event will take place at the Elliptical Circle and feature a national competition among carinderia owners to create the best pares recipe.

Contestants will vie for top honors in two categories: beef and pork pares.

Diwata, a close friend of Rosmar, who famously gifted him a house and lot, will lead the panel of esteemed judges.

So, pares enthusiasts, mark your calendars, and prepare your best recipes—this is one culinary showdown you won’t want to miss!

In a classic case of “Don’t judge a post by its layout,” many Filipinos briefly mourned the imagined demise of boxing sensation Carlos Paalam. 

The Philippine Sports Commission’s announcement, with its somber design, had fans mistaking it for an obituary. 

Cue the collective gasp and frantic Google searches. But before you could say “Rest in Peace,” it became clear: Paalam isn’t pushing up daisies; he’s punching his ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

Yes, sports fans, breathe easy—our golden boy is alive and kicking, literally. The supposed death notice was actually a heartwarming update on his Olympic qualification. 

Let’s hope the only thing that dies is our opponents’ hopes as Paalam goes for gold. Until then, here’s a tip for the Sports Commission: maybe save the funeral aesthetics for actual bad news.

DOTr Goes For Olympic Gold Through EDSA’s Elevated Walkways

In a groundbreaking move, the Department of Transportation has announced a 5-kilometer elevated walkway along EDSA to encourage walking over driving. Dubbed the “Sky Stroll,” this visionary project promises to transform Metro Manila’s traffic nightmare into a leisurely stroll above the chaos.

But there’s a twist: the walkways end abruptly without stairs, escalators, or elevators. Instead, commuters will be treated to a thrilling 10-foot drop-off, promoting an Olympic-level athleticism. DOTr officials are optimistic, predicting a new generation of high-jumping Filipino athletes poised to bring home Olympic gold.

Critics argue the plan is a high-risk leap of faith, but supporters claim it’s a giant step towards a fitter nation. As EDSA’s traffic grinds to a halt below, the sky’s the limit for those daring enough to take the plunge.
