Permission To Leave The Vice Presidency

September 18, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Sara Duterte’s recent congressional performance was nothing short of a political circus. From hurling personal insults at lawmakers to stonewalling questions about her office’s budget, she certainly gave a masterclass in deflection.

Refusing to take the oath to tell the truth? Bold move. After all, why bother with truth when you can hide behind bravado? The cherry on top was her request to leave the hearing entirely, as if the inconvenience of public accountability was simply too much to bear. One wonders if she’s confused: is this a congressional inquiry or an episode of reality TV?

Perhaps Congress should grant her request—permanently. If she’s unwilling to answer for the millions in taxpayer money, maybe the Filipino people should give her the green light to exit the vice presidency altogether. After all, public service is about transparency, not tantrums. We can’t wait to see what her next act will be.

New Day-Time Show Beats “It’s Showtime,” “Eat Bulaga!”

In the age of spectacle, where entertainment meets governance, the Senate committee hearings on POGO operations have delivered more plot twists than your average telenovela. “In aid of legislation,” they say, but with the drama unfolding live on our screens, one might argue that these sessions are giving long-standing noontime shows like *It’s Showtime* and *Eat Bulaga* a run for their money.

From extramarital and romantic scandals to “mysterious” bank accounts, the hearings have it all. Who needs daytime TV when you’ve got Senate livestreams? Each session is a veritable masterclass in grandstanding, where legislators showcase their talents in dramatic interrogation techniques. With a dash of contempt thrown at resource persons who dare deviate from the script, we’re left wondering: is the goal here truly legislation, or is it to win some form of national Best Actor award?

Meanwhile, in the subplot, we watch as the committee unearths ties between certain officials and illegal operations, prompting some fine lessons on the art of escape. And while new laws might not emerge anytime soon, one thing’s for sure—the Senate hearings will remain the hottest show in town. The next episode? Stay tuned, but don’t hold your breath for actual reform.

Yes To Senator Bato’s Question On Drug Testing For Bald Persons

September 16, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s recent query about whether bald men like himself can undergo hair follicle drug tests had the Senate floor and the Internet world buzzing with laughter.

Imagine the disbelief on Bato’s face when drug labs confirm that, yes, even those with shiny domes can be tested—just not from the head. Apparently, body hair, whether it’s from arms, legs, or other areas (ahem), is just as reliable for testing.

You could almost see Bato picturing the lab techs awkwardly plucking chest hairs. Bald men everywhere now breathe a collective sigh of relief or disappointment as the case may be, knowing their lack of locks won’t exempt them from scrutiny.

So, dear senators, don’t think you’re off the hook just because you’re follicly challenged! In the battle against drugs, even body hair has your back—or, in this case, your chest!

Check this out, dear readers:
