In an earth-shattering twist, Vice President Sara Duterte has announced she will not grace this year’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) with her presence.

This revelation, from someone whose favorite response to news reporters is “no comment,” has left the nation in shock. Even more telling was the viral footage of Duterte struggling to muster the conviction in her announcement, punctuated by a long, deep breath—perhaps a symbolic inhale before a deep dive into unprecedented political waters.

Critics suggest this absence might be a strategic move to avoid answering more pesky questions, or maybe it’s just a case of SONA fatigue. Supporters, however, hail it as a bold stance against monotony. Either way, this “no-show” promises to be as newsworthy as her famously tight-lipped press conferences. It seems Duterte’s absence might speak louder than her usual “no comment.”

(Not Satire) Adobo Chronicles Salutes Seaman FC Underwater Operator Jeffrey Facundo

In the West Philippine Sea’s embrace so vast,
Seaman Jeffrey Facundo’s bravery was cast.
On a mission fraught with peril and strife,
He faced the storm, his duty and life.

Aboard a vessel, with courage untold,
Against the tides, defiance bold.
A Chinese Coast Guard, relentless and fierce,
Tried to halt the journey, through tactics austere.

In the chaos, a sacrifice made,
A finger severed, a price he paid.
Yet his spirit, unbroken, stood tall,
An emblem of valor, inspiring us all.

Facundo’s plight, a testament grand,
To the seafarers guarding our land.
Their patriotism, a guiding star,
In conflicts deep, they shine afar.

May his story, echoing through time,
Bridge divides, in reason’s chime.
For the love of country, through storm and sea,
Our Filipino heart beats strong and free.

Should Maisug Let Go Of Tio Moreno?

In the latest twist in the Maisug movement, Tio Moreno’s inclusion as a rally speaker has sparked heated debates. It’s a peculiar choice for a movement chanting “Para Sa Bayan,” especially when Moreno seems more inclined towards “Para Sa China.”

His candid admissions about finding Filipinos difficult to work with and his odd pleasure in the country’s flooding raise eyebrows.

Could it be that Maisug is so desperate for engagement that they’ve turned to the salacious draw of Moreno’s internet antics? Surely, nudity isn’t the backbone of nationalist fervor. Yet, here we are, pondering whether the movement has lost its way or just its shame.

If Maisug aims to champion Filipino pride, perhaps they should reconsider letting a pro-China provocateur take the stage. Or maybe, they’re banking on the old adage: any publicity is good publicity—even if it means baring all, metaphorically or otherwise.
