“Good evening mga kababayan! Welcome back to The Big V!” — and with that familiar greeting, the studio once again lit up with laughter, sarcasm, and sharp political banter. The hosts, led by Chris Ulo, Takero, and their crew, opened their latest episode with what they called “a mix of comedy and chaos.”
But beneath the humor was a serious topic shaking the political scene — a planned rally led by Kiko Barsaga, set to happen on October 12 at 10:00 PM, described as both anti-corruption and anti-BBM.
“Bakit gabi? Bakit 10 PM?” one host laughed. “Eh kasi raw mainit pag araw — pero baka naman may seremonya rin silang gagawin. Oras ng kulto ‘yan ah!”
The Big V team didn’t hold back. They dissected, criticized, and even joked about the upcoming event, calling it “the third attempt” of the DDS (Diehard Duterte Supporters) to stage a people’s movement.
⚠️ A Rally with No Direction?
According to Chris, the biggest problem with this new rally is not the schedule, but the lack of clarity.
“Wala silang malinaw na goal,” he said. “Ang gusto lang nila — mapatalsik si BBM at ipalit si VP Sara. Pero bakit? Ano ang dahilan? Hindi natin alam.”
Takero agreed, adding that the event looks more like a repetition of failure than a legitimate protest. “Ilang beses na nilang ginawa ‘to. September 21 pa lang, sinubukan na nila sa Liwasang Bonifacio. Konti lang dumating. Ang ending, nakisama pa sila sa ibang grupo para lang magmukhang marami.”
💬 The “Kiko Barsaga Effect”
The name Kiko Barsaga has become somewhat of a running joke among the hosts. “Si Kiko mismo ang nagpost,” said one. “Pero noong last rally, hindi rin siya pumunta. Sabi niya, ‘Andiyan ang espiritu ko.’ Eh paano magiging epektibo kung espiritu lang ang dumadalo?”
This sparked laughter in the studio, but the tone quickly turned serious. “Mga DDS, paulit-ulit lang kayo,” Chris remarked. “Ilang taon na, wala pa rin kayong nakukuha. At kahit sabihin nilang marami sila — sa totoo lang, maingay lang kayo, pero hindi kayo madami.”
💸 The Funding Question: “May Kumita Ba?”
One of the juiciest parts of the conversation came when the hosts hinted that money might be involved in organizing these rallies.
“May narinig akong kumita raw diyan — milyon-milyon!” said Takero. “Isang tao lang daw ang pinakamalaking kinita, pero hinati sa iba. Laging may sobra sa pagkain, sa logistics — so syempre may kickback ‘yan.”
The studio erupted in mixed laughter and disbelief.
“Sa atin, walang ganyan!” Chris added. “Kami, suporta kay PBBM — walang bayad, walang pondo. Pero ‘yan mga rally na ‘yan, pilit. May nagfa-fund talaga diyan.”
🚽 From Protests to Hygiene Jokes
The hosts recalled previous DDS rallies that, according to them, ended in disarray — and, quite literally, bad smell.
“Naaalala niyo ‘yung rally sa EDSA? Diyos ko, ang baho!” one host exclaimed. “Nagreport pa nga ‘yung ABS-CBN noon. Umiihi daw yung mga lalaki sa tabi ng puno kasi malayo yung CR!”
Everyone laughed, but the message was clear: discipline and organization are missing.
“Walang problema sa rally,” said Chris. “Pero sana naman, umayos kayo. ‘Yung kadugyutan niyo, iwan niyo na sa bahay. Huwag niyo nang dalhin sa kalsada!”
🧩 Behind the Scenes: Rumors and “Meetings”
In the same episode, the team discussed alleged screenshots circulating online — showing a supposed meeting between a senator, two congressmen, and members of PDP–Laban. The names Kiko Barsaga, Marcoleta, and Maisog reportedly appeared.
“Pero hindi natin alam kung totoo ‘yan,” Chris warned. “Baka pain lang din. Kasi ang bilis kumalat, baka fake news.”
The conversation then shifted to former congressman Paolo Marcoleta, who allegedly claimed that certain “paid vloggers” receive ₱7,000 a month from government agencies.
“Eh buti pa sila!” one host joked. “Sa amin, wala pang pangkape!”
🕵️♂️ Fake News, Arrests, and Online Rage
The hosts also addressed recent cases of DDS vloggers being arrested for fake news and even for violent posts.
“Akala kasi nila okay lang ‘yung mga post na ‘headshot’ sa presidente,” Chris said. “Pero ‘pag nasilip ka ng NBI, yari ka talaga.”
He continued, “Kami, kritiko kami noon ng mga Duterte, pero hindi kami nangbabanta. Hindi kami gumagawa ng fake news. Kayo lang ang ganyan.”
The group blamed this culture of hate on online influencers like Maharlika, Roque, Celis, and others. “Paggising mo pa lang, galit na agad ang ituturo nila sa’yo!” they said.
⚔️ The Bigger Picture: Politics and Power
As the discussion deepened, they pointed out how the rally’s message doesn’t resonate with the public anymore.
“People Power dapat lahat ng tao — Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao — nagkakaisa,” Chris said. “Eh kung DDS lang ang pupunta, hindi ‘yan people power. Sariling interes lang ‘yan.”
They also touched on the rumored divisions within the military and police, emphasizing that most AFP and PNP officers still support BBM.
“Ang gusto ng AFP, lalaking presidente,” Takero said. “Mas mabilis ang command. Mas disiplinado. At higit sa lahat, hindi sila pabor sa pro-China leader.”
🎙️ The Final Take: “They Can’t Bring Him Down”
As the program wrapped up, Chris delivered his closing remarks:
“Hindi nila kayang pababain si PBBM. Hindi ito panahon ni Marcos Sr. o ni Erap. Ngayon, may social media na. Alam na ng mga tao ang totoo.”
Takero nodded. “Wala silang numbers. Wala silang mensahe. Wala silang tiwala ng taong-bayan.”
The show ended with laughter and applause, but the message lingered — the so-called revolution of the DDS has lost its spark.
And as Chris signed off, he left viewers with a challenge and a punchline:
“Magbaon kayo ng portable toilet kung pupunta kayo sa rally bukas — para hindi magkalat sa EDSA!”
