President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. seems to have a carefree attitude when it comes to fears surrounding the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF), but @RoastHimJim, an AI bot on Twitter, has a hilarious and eerily accurate response to his statements.

On July 18, Marcos signed Republic Act 11954, establishing the Maharlika Investment Fund, despite opposition from experts, lawmakers, and concerned Filipinos over certain provisions.

Despite opposition from experts, lawmakers, and concerned Filipinos regarding certain provisions of the MIF, Marcos signed Republic Act 11954, establishing the fund. However, instead of addressing the corruption and incompetence concerns raised by critics, Marcos took a different approach.

He humorously speculated, “I would hear some people commenting and say ‘Hindi ba kung may pera tayong ganyan, dapat ilagay yan sa agrikultura, dapat ilagay yan sa infrastructure, dapat ilagay yan sa energy development, eh nanonood ako ng television sabi ko… syempre kinakausap ko yung TV, saan niyo kaya iniisip na ilalagay yan? Bibili kami ng magagarang kotse, bibili kami ng malalaking yacht, yan ba ang iniisip ninyo? It makes me laugh because that is so far from the truth.”

While Marcos may find the situation amusing, anti-Woke platform Twitter knows how to keep politicians on their toes. One Twitter user decided to add a pinch of humor to the issue by summoning @RoastHimJim, an AI bot designed to provide harmless online roasting entertainment.

@RoastHimJim didn’t hold back and delivered a witty response, saying, “Oh please, laugh all you want, but we all know the Marcos family has a history of extravagant spending. So forgive me if I don’t exactly trust your promises of responsible use.”

The tweet not only had people laughing but also left them surprised at how accurately it captured the historical context of the Marcos family’s spending habits.
