Americans have recently discovered a surprisingly sticky way to express their civic outrage at rising grocery prices: affixing bold stickers proclaiming “Trump did this!” directly onto price tags. In this ingenious display of grassroots accountability, even a can of soup becomes a billboard for blame, demonstrating that no product is too humble to carry a political message. 

Perhaps we Filipinos might take a leaf from their adhesive playbook. Imagine strolling through a wet market where every tomato, onion, chili, and even every grain of rice sports a sticker that shouts, “The Administration did this!” Such a move would transform everyday shopping into an impromptu protest, turning our markets into living, breathing forums of political dissent. 

And while we’re at it, why not have political candidates replace gaudy billboards and expensive campaign flyers with tiny stickers declaring, “I will fix this”? After all, market-going Pinoys are a significant slice of the electorate, ready to cast their vote—one sticker at a time. 

In an era where blame is as sticky as the adhesive on a price tag, maybe our politics needs a little more…stickiness too. Evidently, these budget-driven sticker protests could swiftly transform political accountability into a quirky, adhesive revolution for modern, thriving democracy.
