In the grand theater of international justice, the Philippines is staging a performance that even Shakespeare would find bewildering.
President Marcos, in a masterclass of diplomatic ballet, declares a resolute non-cooperation with the ICC over charges related to Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war.
However, like a poorly rehearsed play, reports emerge of an ICC Rapporteur sashaying into the country, graciously invited by an official appointed no less by Marcos with a penchant for contradiction (former president of the National Press Club.)
It seems President Marcos’ scriptwriters have an issue with consistency, turning defiance into a farcical dance of doublespeak.
To add a pinch of absurdity, enter the unreliable narrator, Antonio Trillanes, as the news media’s star informant. The journalistic ballet, fueled by Trillanes’ whimsical tales, pirouettes into a narrative as shaky as a novice ballerina.
In this tragicomedy, truth twirls in a dance of confusion, leaving the audience questioning if they’re witnessing a political drama or a satire of errors.
