Anti-Jeepney Phaseout: Shame On Adults Who Exploit Innocent Children

In a stunning display of questionable parenting choices, adults have shamelessly recruited children as the unwitting faces of protests against the jeepney modernization program. What better way to advance a cause than to parade youngsters, blissfully ignorant of the complexities surrounding transportation policy? Clearly, indoctrinating the innocent is the latest trend in grassroots activism.

These miniature activists, unable to distinguish between a jeepney and a toy car, are thrust onto the frontline to voice opinions they can’t possibly comprehend. This blatant child exploitation not only undermines the credibility of the protests but raises eyebrows at the ethics of those orchestrating these stunts.

The Departments of Social Welfare Administration and Justice should intervene promptly to protect these unwitting pawns. Let’s spare the children from the political puppetry and let them enjoy their juice boxes and playdates instead of shouldering the weight of societal grievances. 

Shame on those who exploit the purity of childhood for their agenda, turning innocence into a tool for manipulation.

Jose Mari Chan: One Song ≠ To National Artist Designation

In a stunning display of legislative brilliance, Surigao del Norte 2nd district Rep. Robert Ace Barbers has proposed a National Artist Award for none other than the maestro behind “Christmas In Our Hearts,” Jose Mari Chan. Clearly, Barbers believes that a single song, no matter how catchy, trumps the lifetime achievements of painters, writers, and filmmakers who have contributed significantly to Philippine culture.

Perhaps Barbers missed the memo that a National Artist is meant to embody the pinnacle of artistic excellence across various fields. Does he genuinely believe that Chan’s ability to make us jingle all the way during the holiday season surpasses the rich tapestry of artistic contributions from painters, writers, and filmmakers? Perhaps next, we’ll see proposals for National Nobel Prize Winners in the category of Festive Jingles.

One can’t help but wonder if the esteemed solon comprehends the concept of the National Artist Award or if he simply mistook it for the “Most Festive Tune on Repeat” trophy. 

May the halls of legislation continue to echo with the timeless melody of bureaucratic absurdity.
