Ayala simply gave molnupiravir pills to their preferred candidate. Makes me wonder why the need for that when there are hospitals already with compassionate use permits that can use these pills

si Bongbong niyo pachill chill lang sa Tempur bed. utos utos lang sa troll farms. 🤣

When will mainstream media get rid of their Leni fetish? Damn, 24/7 media mileage. Cover other candidates wtf

While the OVP was still trying to partner, the government has it already in place. As usual, echo-chamber, doing what is already being done and trying to get credit for herself.
