- Celebrities and personalities react to the ‘plot twist’ in Congress
There was a sudden plot twist at the congress while waiting for President Rodrigo Duterte to deliver his third State of the Nation Address (SONA).
People were once again shocked as President Duterte finished his speech without cursing, but what caught people’s attention was when former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo replaced Pantaleon Alvarez as the new leader of the House of Representatives.
The events were so unpredictable, celebrities couldn’t help but react to it, one of them is Actress Agot Isidro.
Aand she’s back.
With a vengeance.
Just like that, folks.
Aminin niyo, marupok tayo.
On the other hand, Alessandra De Rossi joked about the SONA having a plot twist, while our love life gets none.
Taray! May plot twist and sona. Yung love life natin wala! uwian na!
Bianca Gonzales also tweeted about her surprise as Arroyo as the newest House Speaker.
CGMA in the House Speaker’s seat for the SONA after everything that has happened.. did not see that coming.
Radio personality Gino Quillamor branded the country by saying that it is the most “forgiving”.
Is there a Guinnes book of world records award for the most “forgiving” cournty? Coz if there is, wuhooooo. #PinoyPride
He also compared the country’s memory with 10 second Tom from 50 First Dates.
Country’s memory is worse than 10 second Tom.

House of Cards or Game of Thrones?

Amid all the tweets, Jake Ejercito posted a screenshot of Arroyo’s viral meme, with lines from the famous song Stupid Love.
Jim Paredes also tweeted.
Good Bye Panty. Hello Garci.
Why the rush? Something big must be up.
Journalist Karen Davila also asked: ‘Who needs the House of Cards?’ as the SONA 2018 happenings were forms of real life suspense.
Who needs House of Cards when you have real life suspense, action, front stabbing (not back stabbing btw) at the Lower House? #SONA2018
Davila also joked about Arroyo’s Twitter handle that very much described the situation perfectly.
All I can say is – if former President Gloria Arroyo becomes House Speaker, considering what she’s been through – then her Twitter handle describes her perfectly – @GMABeatTheOdds
Television personality Lourd de Verya also joked about the whole Arroyo-Alvarez situation.
