Senator Bong Revilla’s recent appeal to Malacañang regarding the “No work, no pay” workers of “It’s Showtime” is a display of misplaced priorities that could make even the most absurd of reality TV plots seem sensible.
While the show was suspended for 12 days due to the antics of Vice Ganda and Ion Perez, Revilla’s call for presidential intervention seems like a punchline in itself. Why bother the President for the mischief of the show hosts?
Perhaps a more effective approach would be for Senator Revilla to ask the hosts of the show, particularly the wealthy Vice Ganda, to dip into their deep pockets and ensure that the workers receive their wages during the suspension. After all, Vice Ganda once claimed to have lost track of her wealth, so why not share the blessings with those who truly need it? It’s a golden opportunity for a real-life show of generosity.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board) has denied the appeal of the popular TV show “It’s Showtime.” The agency earlier set a 12-day suspension of the show’s airing because of that cake icing finger-licking episode witnessed on live TV by a national audience and in the presence of kids.
Now, rumors are swirling that the producers may take their appeal to the Office of the President.
But let’s be real, that’s like trying to fight fire with more fire. In all likelihood, the appeal will end up on the desk of Presidential legal counsel Juan Ponce Enrile, who, in a stunning display of profound insight, previously labeled the show’s host, Vice Ganda, as “salacious.”
In a previous story, The Adobo Chronicles said the presidential appeal by “It’s Showtime” may be DOA when it arrives at the Palace. Dead on Arrival!
In the world of mental gymnastics, the acrobats trying to connect Maria Ressa’s tax evasion acquittal to freedom of the press deserve a gold medal. It’s like saying a chef’s speeding ticket is an attack on culinary freedom.
Ressa, Rappler CEO convicted for cyber libel, faced tax charges, not press censorship.
But why let facts ruin a good narrative? These contortionists insist that every court decision somehow shapes the future of journalism. What’s next, blaming potholes for fake news? Let’s be clear: Ressa’s case is about tax compliance, not journalism’s survival. So, to those masterful spin doctors, keep your leaps of logic to the gymnastics floor. The rest of us prefer to live in the real world.
