5. Summoning A Mexican Demon
In news that defy common sense, reason and logic, teenagers everywhere are summoning a Mexican demon with the help of pencils in the Charlie Charlie challenge.

From admitting and later backtracking on his links to the Davao Death Squad, engaging in a word war with Justice Secretary Leila De Lima, an alleged campaign ad leak, and being teary-eyed for once. The big question still remains: will he run or higher office in 2016?
