In a truly masterful display of irony, the “Kuryente King” himself, Mark Anthony Lopez, has once again graced the internet with his unique brand of fact-bending.
Upon hearing about the arrest of the ever-controversial Apollo Quiboloy, Lopez, known for crying “fake news” at the most inopportune times, quickly claimed it was all just a misunderstanding between “arrest” and “capture.”
Forget that legitimate sources worldwide have confirmed the news—why bother with details when you can weave a narrative to keep your followers blissfully misinformed? After all, why let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory? In his world, vagueness is power, and ambiguity is truth.
It’s an impressive strategy: claim the news is fake while peddling fake news yourself. In the circus of social media, Lopez remains its most persistent clown, performing for an audience that believes the illusion is reality.
Ah, the Alice Guo spectacle! Photos of her arrest featuring no less than DILG Secretary Ben Abalos, PNP Chief Rommel Marbil and a slew of NBI agents. Big deal, right? Well, it turns out it’s not that scandalous when you consider the alleged images of Guo with former President Rodrigo Duterte floating around.
And why stop there? If politicians are cozy with the ex-Mayor of Bamban, Tarlac, who’s really surprised? After all, what’s a government official’s career without the mandatory photo ops, whether it’s with high-profile suspects or while distributing relief goods alongside oversized banners proclaiming their names?
But wait, the pièce de résistance comes courtesy of Senator Bong Go, who charmed netizens with a video of him in a church, sharing “intimate moments” with the Lord—surrounded, of course, by his trusty photographers.
If nothing else, this whole drama reaffirms why we’re the “selfie capital of the world.”
