THE CHUCKY CONSPIRACY: UNMASKING THE BARDAGULAN WAR BETWEEN GUANZON AND THE PALACE SPOKESWOMAN

In the treacherous political arena of January 2026, the line between high-level governance and internet “bardagulan” (street fighting) has completely dissolved. As the nation prepares for the next seismic shift in leadership, a sensational new feud has erupted, pitting a former constitutional commissioner against a fiery Palace official. The investigation into this digital brawl reveals a mystery of shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and a doll that has become the most terrifying political symbol in the country. The headline is a warning: “The Chucky Chronicles: Why Rowena Guanzon is Using a Murderous Doll to Unmask her 2028 Ambitions!”

The fallout began with a single, toxic post. Former Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon, known for her sharp tongue and “lit” social media presence, posted a photo of a “date” with a doll. But this wasn’t just any doll—it was Chucky, the infamous cinematic murderer. The target? Claire Castro, the outspoken Palace press officer.

The Investigation: The Origin of “Chucky Claire”

Our investigation into the roots of this insult leads back to the inner sanctum of the Palace. Rumors have circulated that when Vice President Sara Duterte hears the name of President Bongbong Marcos (PBBM), her expression allegedly shifts into a mask of cold fury—one that Claire Castro’s detractors have compared to the “Chucky” doll.

Guanzon, sensing blood in the water, weaponized the comparison. By posting a “date” with Chucky, she wasn’t just trolling; she was sending a signal to the DDS (Duterte Diehard Supporters) that she is ready to play dirty. But why would a former “Kakampink” (supporter of Leni Robredo) suddenly take up the cudgels for the Duterte camp?

The Political Pivot (2022 vs. 2026):

2022: Guanzon was the star of the Leni Robredo rallies, using her P3PWD Party-list to garner massive exposure among the “Pink” movement.

2026: After being blocked from her seat in Congress—not by the Marcos camp, but reportedly by the Duterte-aligned Topacio and Cardema factions—Guanzon is executing a stunning “Heel Turn.”

The Mystery of the Supreme Court Maneuver

The forensic details of Guanzon’s exclusion from Congress are shrouded in mystery. While many believe Martin Romualdez or Sandro Marcos were the architects of her downfall, our investigation points to a deeper betrayal. It was the DDS legal eagles, specifically the Topacio camp, who moved all the way to the Supreme Court to ensure Rowena Guanzon never took her seat.

Now, in a twist that has left political observers reeling, Guanzon is courting the very people who barred her. Why? Because the 2028 Senatorial Slate is being formed. To secure a spot in Sara Duterte’s lineup, Guanzon must prove she is “more DDS than the DDS.”

The “Bardagulan” Strategy: Targeting Claire Castro

Claire Castro is unlike any Palace spokesperson in Philippine history. She is not “refined” or “traditional.” She is a “Bardagulan Spokesperson”—someone who hits back twice as hard as she is hit. By attacking Sarah Duterte and even Pulong Duterte, Castro has become the #1 enemy of the DDS vloggers.

Guanzon’s strategy is simple:

    Attack the Palace: Target the people identified with the Marcos administration (Martin Romualdez, Sandro Marcos, and Ronald Lamas).

    Mock the Spokesperson: Use the “Chucky Claire” moniker to goad Castro into a public shouting match.

    Win the DDS Trust: Show the skeptical Duterte supporters that she is the “ultimate weapon” against the current administration.

“She’s not just an influencer; she’s an operative,” an anonymous political strategist remarked. “Guanzon knows the DDS love a fighter. By taking on Claire Castro, she’s auditioning for a 2028 Senate seat.”

The Emotional Unmasking: “I am not DDS”

In a recent interview, when asked point-blank if she had joined the DDS, Guanzon’s response was a classic “Double-Bladed” denial: “I am not DDS.” Yet, every action she takes—every “Chucky” post, every swipe at the Marcos family—screams otherwise. The mystery of Rowena Guanzon is the mystery of Political Survival. She is a woman without a party-list, without a seat, but with a massive digital megaphone. She is using “Chucky” as a Trojan Horse to enter the Duterte camp, hoping they will forget that she was once their loudest critic.

Final Verdict: The Horror Show of 2028

The “Chucky Claire” feud is not just a petty online spat; it is the opening salvo of the most brutal election cycle in Philippine history. As Guanzon continues to post her “happy” and “murderous” dolls, she is unmasking a new era of politics where reputation is sacrificed for reach.

Will Claire Castro respond? Or will she remain the “Happy Chucky,” unfazed by the former Commissioner’s taunts? The public is no longer just watching a debate; they are watching a horror movie where the dolls are real, and the stakes are the future of the Republic.

As the “Bardagulan” intensifies, only one thing is certain: in the race to 2028, Rowena Guanzon is willing to play with fire—and dolls—to ensure she isn’t left in the dark again.
