Who is really running the show, a thread. The question is has anything really changed in the way things are run?
Is the on-again, off-again visibility of the Chief Executive not only not new but a sign of anything actually being any different from how it’s been since Day One of the current era? Or is it simply that the pandemic has blunted the force of loyalist cheering and intimidation?
A better framework might be to examine what things the President has never allowed others to decide, or modify. And those things are few but significant. The so-called War on Drugs; the punishment of media and businesses that don’t bend the knee; China-centric approach.

Thread. Noon kailangan mo lang ng isang larawan at kumpleto na ang kuwento. Pero ngayon, hindi ma ganun kasimple. Heto ang ebidensya: 1. Ang opisyal na larawan at ang kaniyang kuwento: si Tatay, simple lang, masaya kahit pagod at walang handaan...
2. Problema lang hindi lahat bilib at hindi lang si Tatay ang pilyo sa Pilipinas. Kaya ayan masdan ang TV sa likod... pero meron pa...
3. Meron din namang hindi pinanganak kahapon at may memorya kaya ang larawan na gusto mong gawing sikat ngayon puwede na rin ikabit sa larawan mula pa noon... pero meron pa rin...
