The Clash Of Rodrigo Duterte’s Former Spokespersons

April 1, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

In the latest episode of “Spin Doctor Chronicles,” the once harmonious choir of Duterte’s spokespersons has hit a sour note. Atty. Harry Roque, known for his linguistic gymnastics, claims Duterte made a gentleman’s agreement with China over Ayungin Shoal. However, Atty. Sal Panelo, the master of poker-faced narratives, vehemently denies any such pact, accusing Roque of chasing clout like a social media influencer. It’s a perplexing spectacle, akin to watching a slapstick comedy with two clowns tripping over each other’s oversized shoes.

But let’s rewind to Duterte’s heyday in Malacañang, where truth was as elusive as a unicorn in EDSA traffic. Did Roque sprinkle truth dust with his statements, or was Panelo the virtuoso of veracity?

In the circus of Duterte’s administration, truth was a kaleidoscope, constantly shifting hues depending on who held the mic. So, dear audience, grab your popcorn and enjoy the circus, where the truth is the greatest illusion of them all.

7-Month-Old Baby Idolizes JK!

March 31, 2024 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

In a bizarre twist of infant fandom, a couple proudly proclaims their 7-month-old as a die-hard admirer of a JK, citing a brief encounter during a concert where said pop star briefly held the baby.

This raises eyebrows faster than a toddler with a marker near freshly painted walls.

One wonders: has the baby secretly been binge-listening to the artist’s discography during naptime? Or perhaps the parents are projecting their own fandom onto their impressionable offspring?

It’s hard to imagine a child whose vocabulary likely consists of “goo-goo” and “ga-ga” being an avid follower of any celebrity. But hey, in the era of social media stardom, even diapers have influencers.

Let’s hope this infant idolization doesn’t lead to diaper changes inspired by autographs or lullabies replaced with pop hits. After all, it’s never too early for parents to distinguish between their own interests and their child’s actual preferences.
