In a classified operation leaked by an intern who accidentally forwarded the group chat to a barangay Viber thread, “Operation Hugot” was revealed as the latest plot twist in the emotional telenovela known as the Davao Bloc.
At the center of this unfolding political soap opera are four key players: Sardina Lutra, Baste the Brooding Beach Otter, General Barkto Dela Resibo, and Bong-Gupong — the ever-loyal but tragically ghosted confidant of the Palace.
🪖 Scene One: Hugot Headquarters, Matina, Davao City
The meeting began under a tarp tent with military-grade halo-halo and a Taho of National Security. Sardina Lutra, dressed in pastel camo and her signature silent frown, slammed a receipt folder labeled “BBM’s Betrayals Vol. 7” onto the table.
“This nation doesn’t need healing. It needs receipts,” she declared while lighting a sandalwood-scented candle gifted by Inday Vice Glamquack.
Baste, sipping calamansi soda while staring at the rain, responded:
“I never asked to be governor. I just wanted to surf and maybe throw a concert. But now they want me to chair the Budget Oversight Committee?”
The group nodded in tragic solidarity.
👊 Scene Two: General Barkto’s Tactical Tears
General Barkto Dela Resibo, who once cried on national television and turned it into a four-part Spotify podcast, proposed a bold plan: “Let’s bring back the Davao Dream Team — one tear at a time.”
Bong-Gupong, who had been hiding under a kotatsu (Fil-Japan unity prop), emerged with a USB labeled “Confidential, Unless We Need Ratings.”
“Madam Sardina,” he whispered, “I still have the footage of your karate demo against the coconut. The people need to see it again.”
“No,” Snarli replied. “Release it only if BBM wins a third budget insert.”
🎭 Scene Three: The Hugot Manifesto
The group agreed to draft The Hugot Manifesto, a 44-page pamphlet that includes:
- 🔥 Sardina’s Top 10 Silent Treatment Techniques
- 💪 Baste’s Muscle Meal Prep for Brooding Public Servants
- 💻 Bong-Gupong’s Digital Scrapbook of Presidential Moments He Was Cropped Out Of
- 😭 Barkto’s “How to Cry on Cue While Discussing Senate Resolutions”
📣 Meanwhile, in Malacañang…
Sources say Bumbum Mermakmak was informed of “Operation Hugot” while trimming bonsai with Imeldita Shellshell, who simply murmured:
“Let them cry. It keeps the drama off my carpet.”
🧾 Epilogue: Tears Are Temporary, Resibos Are Forever
Whether or not the Davao Quartet reclaims its spotlight remains unknown. But one thing is certain: when they come for the truth, they bring drama, taho, and a GoPro.
