Diwata: The Thorn Among The Roses Of Panagbenga

Ah, Panagbenga—the grand floral spectacle of Baguio, where the streets bloom with petals, and the air is filled with the scent of celebration.

But wait, what’s that rolling down Session Road? A majestic float, adorned not just with flowers but with the unmissable, larger-than-life presence of Diwata of Diwata Pares Overload. Because why settle for a food stall when you can have a full-blown parade float, right?

Diwata, now a nominee for the Vendor’s Partylist, clearly missed the memo that politics is a no-go at Panagbenga. But hey, when you’re chasing celebrity status, what’s a little rule-breaking? His float might as well have been a campaign billboard on wheels. Was he aiming to be the thorn among the roses? If so, mission accomplished.

And then there was his side gig—Diwata, in full Cordilleran attire, screaming at fans in a manner best described as “gorilla chic.” Was he channeling his inner warrior or simply trying to outdo the local howler monkeys? Either way, the indigenous people deserved better than this cosplay catastrophe.

Perhaps it’s time for Diwata to invest in a personal protocol officer—or at least a friend who can whisper, “Hoy, nakakahiya na!”

Malou Tiquia, The (Pul)Political Analyst?

Ah, the curious case of “political analysts” who analyze everything except, well, politics.

Enter Malou Tiquia, the CEO of a polling firm who somehow manages to conduct surveys without common sense as a respondent. Recently, she pondered—bewildered, no less—why Bongbong Marcos is criticizing Rodrigo Duterte when the latter isn’t even running in 2025. Never mind that neither is Marcos. Never mind that elections are won by backing candidates, not by pretending the opposition doesn’t exist. And certainly never mind that the Dutertes have been throwing punches at Marcos long before he decided to return the favor.

Perhaps in Tiquia’s world, political criticism is reserved strictly for those with a COMELEC certificate of candidacy. Or maybe she believes that election campaigns should be peaceful exchanges of friendship bracelets. Either way, it’s an impressive feat: making a career out of analyzing politics while ignoring the most basic rule—elections are about power, not politeness.

Rodrigo Duterte Defends Bongbong Marcos!

Former President Rodrigo Duterte has come to the defense of Bongbong Marcos about the latter’s campaign promise to bring the retail price of rice to P20 per kilo!

Well, not really. But Duterte defended his own promise to the Filipino people that he will hop on a jet ski and sail to the West Philippine sea to defend the Philippines’ territorial waters which to date he has not fulfilled. He called those who believed him then “stupid.”

Same banana. Marcos exonerated!
