When it comes to spreading fake news, sharing is not just caring—it’s culpable.

Take, for instance, the case of Rigoberto Tiglao, a former diplomat, presidential spokesperson, and newspaper columnist who has now become a prolific re-poster of false information.

Tiglao, who ironically authored a book titled “Debacle,” seems to have written his own script for a personal disaster in terms of honor, reputation, and credibility. It’s one thing for an average netizen to click ‘share’ without a second thought, but when a seasoned public figure joins the fray, it’s like watching a trained chef endorse fast food.

The real tragedy isn’t just that fake news continues to proliferate, but that its carriers now include those who once held positions of trust and authority. So, as Tiglao faces his own “Debacle,” we must ask: was it all a premonition, or merely an unintended autobiography?

Did Atty. Harry Roque Just Incriminate Himself?

In a twist worthy of a telenovela, Atty. Harry Roque, the former spokesperson for Rodrigo Duterte, has promised to expose the officials protecting illegal POGO operations when he testifies before a Senate committee next week.

It’s a dramatic announcement, but the real drama just unfolded when law enforcement nabbed two Chinese nationals involved in illegal POGO activities. The kicker? They were caught in what is believed to be Roque’s very own home in Tuba, Benguet.

Now, Roque’s vow to unmask the villains of the POGO underworld is starting to look more like a grand unmasking of himself. Is it a bold strategy to divert attention, or simply a plot twist no one saw coming? Either way, the Senate testimony next week promises to be must-see TV.

Grab your popcorn, folks, as Roque’s attempt to play hero might just end with him as the main antagonist. The irony is so rich, it should come with a side of hot butter.

Celine Dion Quickly Learned French For Her Olympic Performance!

In an astonishing turn of events, the world marveled at Canadian singer Celine Dion’s rapid mastery of the French language, all to deliver a stirring rendition of “L’Hymne à l’Amour” at the Paris Olympics.

Esteemed journalist Rafael Suarez, Jr., in his latest post, hailed her linguistic prowess, leaving fans agog.

But, lo and behold, Suarez was wielding satire as deftly as the Olympic torch itself! This revelation landed like a pratfall at a dignified ballet, echoing the absurdity of the much-maligned “Last Supper” tableau at the opening ceremonies.

The moral of this tangled tale? Satire comprehension should be mandatory in the school curriculum. Misreading satire can lead to global faux pas, akin to mistaking a slapstick routine for Shakespeare.

So, let’s spare ourselves future embarrassments and get savvy with our sarcasm. After all, no one wants to be the punchline of the world’s next big joke.
