Where's Waldo ... Where's Is BBM?

It looked like Where's Waldo, The Pinoy Version had its comeback, and people had just that insatiable desire to ask: Is the President still alive?

 We have entered a fascinating era of "Selective Observation," where the rules of physics depend entirely on your political affiliation.

The DDS internet detectives are currently in a frenzy, scouring the earth for President Bongbong Marcos. 

The government releases a video of him in Bataan? "Edited!" say the vloggers. 

He appears at a televised event? "Deepfake!" scream the commenters. Has he been seen working by the mainstream media? "Mainstream lies!" they chant.

Apparently, for some, the President is like a ghost—even when he’s standing right in front of you, you need a paranormal investigator to confirm he’s not just a high-resolution projection from Malacanang.

But here’s the satirical twist: while everyone is hyper-fixated on BBM’s pulse, we seem to have a growing list of "Missing Persons" that nobody in the vlogger-verse seems to care about.

• Senator Bato Dela Rosa: Is he still among us? He’s been MIA longer than a summer vacation. He’s practically achieved a state of legislative Nirvana—existing only in the abstract, far away from the Senate floor or a timecard. Why aren't we checking his pulse?

• Gerald Bantag: Last seen... somewhere?

• Atong Ang: The man is like a mythic creature; everyone talks about him, but sightings are rarer than a sincere political apology.

• Harry Roque: Now, if we’re talking about AI, let’s look here. Every time a "regular" post appears from the former spokesperson, one has to wonder: Is that really Harry, or is it a sophisticated "Spokes-Bot" programmed to maximize sass and minimize accountability?

So, why the obsession with proving the President is incapacitated? Why the desperate need to find a "flatline" in every video clip?

The goal isn't "concern for the leader’s health.

" It’s a Senatorial Fast-Break. They aren't looking for a pulse; they’re looking for a vacancy. 

It’s the dream of the "Instant Presidency"—the political equivalent of a "Skip to the End" button on a long YouTube video. 

Why wait for the pesky 2028 elections when you can just "narrate" the current occupant out of the office and slide the Vice President into the big chair by Monday morning? It is truly impressive to watch the logic at play:

1. Marcos is seen working: "Fake news! He's dying!"

2. Dela Rosa is literally never seen: "He's just busy being a patriot! Leave him alone!"

3. Roque posts from an undisclosed location: "He's a hero!"

In the world of "Didilis" logic, being AWOL is a sign of strength, but being Visible is a sign of a deep-fake conspiracy.

 It’s a state-of-the-art innovation in mental gymnastics that would win a gold medal if "Delusion" were an Olympic sport.

The President is out there working, documented by every legitimate news outlet in the country. 

Meanwhile, a handfulof high-ranking officials have pulled a "Houdini" and  vanished from public view, yet the vloggers are silent.

Perhaps it’s time to stop checking the President’s temperature and start checking the Senatorial attendance sheet. 

But then again, a "Fast-Break" to 2028 is much more exciting than a boring old thing like "facts" or "constitutional procedure."
