Ethel Pineda: A Doctor Turned Gossip Blogger?

September 4, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

In an era where stethoscopes are swapped for selfie sticks, it’s only natural for some doctors to moonlight as social media influencers, though not always gracefully.

Enter Dr. Ethel Pineda, who traded medical charts for rumor mills and wound up with more than just a prescription gone wrong. Her recent gaffe—suggesting netizens had a twisted wish list involving President Marcos in a domestic dispute—blew up faster than a botched Botox job. One wonders if her patients, expecting sound medical advice, got a dose of her political hot takes instead.

Is diagnosing viral infections really that different from diagnosing viral gossip? Perhaps it’s time for these Insta-docs to stick to their day jobs. After all, one misplaced rumor and your credibility flatlines—no defibrillator can revive that. But hey, at least she’s trending, right? Just not for the reasons she hoped.

Luis Manzano As Carlos Yulo?

In a move that’s sure to raise eyebrows and possibly some high-flying flips, Carlos Yulo reportedly wants Luis Manzano, an actor known more for his witty banter than athletic prowess, to portray him in a biopic.

Never mind that Manzano stands a foot taller and has a physique better suited for action flicks than a pommel horse. The real question is, will Manzano have to train in gymnastics to accurately portray Yulo? Perhaps he’ll channel his inner Simone Biles, or maybe Yulo will be his own stunt double—though the sight of Manzano gracefully sticking a landing with Yulo’s much smaller frame would be a cinematic miracle.

Of course, there’s always the option of CGI or, better yet, letting Artificial Intelligence do the heavy lifting. In any case, we’re in for either a laugh or an Olympic-level performance, albeit one where the judges might need corrective lenses.

Lastly, will Vilma Santos, the real-life mother of Luis, play Yulo’s mom, Angelica, in the biopic?

In a world where the line between truth and fiction is blurrier than ever, Jay Sonza has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of traditional journalism to claim his throne as the king of fake news and wild speculation.

Once a revered broadcast journalist, Sonza has now mastered the art of turning gossip into gospel, effortlessly outshining even the legendary L.A. Maharlika. With a single blog post, Sonza can conjure scandals so sensational that even Edwin Jamora, the Duterte-era maestro of misinformation, pales in comparison.

Pinoy bloggers everywhere tremble at the mere mention of Sonza’s name, knowing that no one spins a yarn quite like him. Whether it’s a story about alien invasions in Malacañang or a secret plot to turn the Philippines into the next Atlantis, Sonza delivers with such conviction that readers are left questioning not only reality but their own sanity.
