Senator Robin Padilla: Socialist Or Social Climber?

In a stunning revelation that shook neither Marxists nor Makati elites, Senator Robin Padilla proclaimed he has “always been a socialist.” Naturally, eyebrows rose—mostly from confusion, some from Botox.

The actor-turned-senator, best known for cinematic gun-slinging and Senate daydreaming, released a statement so polished it reeked of ChatGPT with a deadline. “I fight for the masses,” he said, presumably referring to his entourage at a BGC brunch.

Critics wonder if he meant social climber instead, a much more believable title given his meteoric rise from jail cell to jet set. “Socialist” Robin, after all, is often spotted fighting capitalism by dining at five-star restaurants and waving to jeepney drivers from the back of a luxury SUV.

But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt—perhaps his socialism is a method acting role he never dropped. Either way, the revolution will definitely be televised… on his Instagram story.

Trump Declares Papal Conclave Obsolete

In a plot twist no one saw coming—except maybe The Onion—Donald Trump has announced he wants to be the next pope. “I’d be the best pope, maybe the greatest pope ever, people say it,” he declared, adjusting his MAGA hat, now bedazzled with faux gold crosses.

When asked about celibacy, Trump replied, “We’ll negotiate. Nobody negotiates celibacy better than me.” Vatican officials were reportedly stunned, not by the idea, but by the sheer audacity of him attempting to trademark “Holy Father®.” Trump’s papal platform includes building a wall around purgatory, renaming communion “Trump Wafers,” and installing golden escalators in the Sistine Chapel.

Critics argue he doesn’t meet the qualifications, but Trump insists he has “the best Bible knowledge,” citing “Two Corinthians” as a personal favorite. Meanwhile, the College of Cardinals has collectively Googled “How to exile someone from Earth.” Stay tuned—he’s polling well among televangelists and confused Floridians.
