Pandora’s box

Many readers are surely familiar with the story of “Pandora’s box” a Greek myth about the first woman “Pandora” who was given a sealed jar by the gods and told not to open it. Overcome by curiosity, she opened it, releasing all the evils and hardships into the world such as sickness, death, and despair.

Well, there is no denying that as far as the Marcos siblings are concerned, Bongbong and Imee seem to be in a habit of opening their own “Pandora’s box” to get back at each other or their enemies but ultimately cause hardships on the country and the people.

Unfortunately, there is no “Goddess of Hope” at the bottom of their “Pandora boxes” to make up for the damage they unleash on each other and the nation at large.

While PBBM went on attack mode against people who ripped him off in terms of the government budget and frustrated legacy projects, Senator Imee for her part stabbed PBBM and twisted the knife full of accusations claiming that the First Family are “junkies” or drug users.

Pres. Bongbong Marcos has long been suspected or believed to take coke and party hard both in the past or present but to be fair, there has been no irrefutable evidence of a coke habit except perhaps the soft drink kind.

To his disadvantage and possibly future regret, PBBM has never once made a clinical effort to disprove his accusers unlike Apo Ferdie, who always addressed such rumors with bravado.
