In a stunning move that left critics scratching their heads, President Bongbong Marcos declared the last working day of November as “Bike to Work Day.”
While the initiative aims to promote a healthy and eco-friendly commute, it faced immediate backlash for its questionable timing.
November 30, historically a weekday, coincides with the birth anniversary of national hero Andres Bonifacio. Critics questioned the President’s decision to overshadow a day dedicated to a great Filipino revolutionary with a call for pedal power. “Why choose the hero’s day for this bike to work thing? It is detrimental to our plans to stage protests in commemoration of Bonifacio’s natal day,” they lamented.
Responding with characteristic nonchalance, Malacañang suggested a creative solution. “Filipinos can always bike to the protest sites, making the occasion a double whammy; you can protest while helping save on fuel and be environment-friendly.”
It seems the wheels of progress are turning, albeit on two wheels.

Move over, paltry peso-pinching Philippine weddings! Turkey’s lavish tradition of turning nuptial celebrations into a cash carnival is the inspiration we didn’t know we needed.
Picture this: a Filipino fiesta where guests toss money at the newlyweds like confetti, turning the reception into a riveting race to count the jackpot.
Forget about those quaint bills delicately pinned to the bride’s dress – we’re talking a downpour of gold and green that could fund a lifetime of marital bliss.
Who needs a honeymoon when you’ve got a mountain of cash to scale? Step aside, financial woes; Turkey just schooled us in wedding economics 101.
