Double Standard Over The Word “Kill?”

Leave a comment

In the ever-entertaining theater of Philippine politics and showbiz, Sharon Cuneta’s recent family drama takes center stage. 

In a not-so-subtle social media announcement, she declared her daughters’ willingness to commit acts of violence for their beloved mama and for each other. Paging Facebook and Instagram, are family hit squads now an acceptable part of your community standards?

Meanwhile, in the parallel universe of political correctness, former President Duterte finds himself facing legal action for uttering the taboo word “kill.” Representative France Castro, ever the vigilant guardian of verbal decorum, slams Duterte for his apparent lack of sensitivity.  An SMNI News program was also suspended by MTRCB for the exact same Duterte statement.

But wait, is there a double standard at play? While Duterte faces legal woes, Cuneta revels in familial blood pacts without a hitch. Does showbiz possess some mystical immunity, or are we witnessing a theatrical production where rules only apply to politicians? In this curious landscape, perhaps satire is the only consistent element.

If Cuneta used an idiom, couldn’t Duterte have used a figure of speech?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a groundbreaking move to tackle Manila’s infamous traffic, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has unveiled its latest solution: multi-car buses equipped with swimming pools to ply the entire length of EDSA. 

The brainchild of the agency’s high-paid technocrats, this aquatic commuting experience promises to turn your daily gridlock into a tropical getaway.

Passengers can now dive into a pool while inching through the notorious traffic jams, turning their frowns into soggy smiles. The buses are equipped with showers and dressing rooms.

An MMDA spokesperson, declared, “We believe that the best way to beat the traffic is to take a leisurely swim. Why be stuck in a crowded bus when you can float your worries away?”

Critics argue that perhaps fixing the actual traffic issues might be a more practical approach, but the MMDA insists that floating through the chaos is the future of stress-free commuting. The new buses are set to make a splash, quite literally, in the city’s public transportation scene.

Rappler’s Lian Buan: Want A Master’s Degree? Destroy Your Own Country

Leave a comment

In the twisted realm of academic achievement, Lian Buan’s master’s degree is a shining example of how to leave your country in ruins while clutching a diploma. Her dissertation reads like a manual on the fine art of national degradation, drawing inspiration from her mentor, Maria Ressa, the maestro of orchestrating chaos to snag a Nobel Prize. Buan’s groundbreaking thesis delves into innovative ways to tarnish a nation’s reputation, with chapters on disinformation campaigns, sensationalized reporting, and the strategic use of victimhood.

It seems that the key to academic success lies in embracing a curriculum that mirrors the destructive path of your role models. Forget about contributing positively to society; the real accolades come from perfecting the art of undermining your own country on the global stage. After all, why build bridges when you can burn them and still claim academic prowess? It’s a darkly satirical twist on education, where the road to a master’s degree is paved with the rubble of one’s own nation’s reputation.
