Is The UniTeam Back?

In a stunning twist that sent the rumor mill spinning faster than a Duran Duran vinyl, news broke that the Marcoses and Dutertes are back together in a UniTeam encore.

The alleged reunion came after a private birthday bash where President Bongbong Marcos was serenaded by none other than Duran Duran. Yet, the event was clouded with confusion as netizens, perhaps not in the best reflex, mistook the occasion for a durian tasting party. Ah, durian—the pungent fruit from Davao that’s either loved or hated, much like political alliances.

But really, could this mishap be a case of something deeper? Was this a hidden metaphor for politics in the Philippines—where expectations clash with reality, and alliances, like durian, can be both sweet and hard to digest? Or perhaps, just a case of being “Hungry Like the Wolf” for rumors that won’t stop swirling.

In an unprecedented display of professionalism, the Philippine Vice President has pioneered a new form of public discourse: social media roast battles. Gone are the days when the second highest official of the land would focus on policies, governance, or even just basic decorum. Instead, we’re treated to a masterclass in playground insults.

Why bother with political decorum when you can critique fashion choices, right? Who needs reasoned debate when you can showcase your secret obsession with designer handbags?

Forget about the nation’s problems—what really matters is your opponent’s accessories! In a time where the country is grappling with significant challenges, at least we can take solace in the fact that our Vice President is taking up the noble cause of *dragging people online*. It’s refreshing, really—a modern, digital democracy where ad hominems and Louis Vuitton take precedence over integrity and accountability. Truly, leadership redefined.
