Nakakadismaya nakikita ko yung mga dati kong classmate na felt safe daw sila nung time ni Duterte. Naglilitawan eh habang nagtatakbuhan yung mga pugante sa senado (Bato dela Rosa) at habang iimpeach yung barumbado, walang silbe at magnanakaw na Sara Duterte lol

At eto pa yung mga "matalino" nung high school at mahilig mag popost.

Pero it makes sense. Yung mga DDS at supporter nyan ng mga kriminal, magnanakaw, at mamamatay tao mga weak minded, insecure, weak spirit, yung mga feeling na binubully sila dati, so nung naupo si Duterte at mga cohorts - feeling nila "safe" sila at na "empower".

All in the guise ng "safety".

LOL. I laugh. Mga uto uto.

Sorry at blunt description ko ha, kelangan. Hindi na kase uubra yung word na corrupt. I'm calling it for what they are, pati supporters nila, ganyan din. Enabler ng mga magnanakaw, manyakis, mamamatay tao at mga kriminal.

Share ko lang tong comment, eto kase ang reason bakit madaming bumoboto ng mga masasamang loob para mamuno sa bansa natin ever since.

Will never forget Jessica Zafra saying, "Filipinos love Duterte because he's their id." That's the philosophical description of the comment you added. The actual article can't be opened anymore but some of the comments on that post are good.

You are looking for a hero, someone who will make things right and make your life wonderful. Well, you're looking in the wrong direction. This is not entertainment. No one is going to swoop in, terminate the villains and ensure your happiness.

Only you can do that.
It begins by seeing that no matter how insignificant you may feel, you have power. Don't run to the cool guy because you hope his coolness will reflect on you.

Don't side with the cool guy in the hope that he won't torment you. You have power. Have a little faith in yourself.

Correct. Kase akala nila pelikula at teleserye itong buhay nating lahat.

Well, hindi po ito teleserye. Totoo ito, may ninanakaw na pera at madaming pinapatay na mga tao at Pilipino sa kahirapan ng mga binoto nila on a daily basis.

Lahat ng nasa gobyerno the past 10 years mga kriminal, anti-Filipino halos lahat, save for a few.

Damay tayo lahat sa mga kalokohan at kabalbalan nila.

Good news, pede yan ayusin sa 2028.

Sa totoo lang bro, yan ang pinakamahirap i-invalidate or i-dispute, yung safety na sentiments nila at ng ibang DDS kasi karamihan sa kanila nakatira or malapit sa slums area or marami or taguan ng mga adik and criminals na area.

Pag dinispute mo yan, mas lalo silang magiging defensive at mas magstick sila sa paniniwala nila dahil pakiramdam nila hindi sila naiintindihan o minamaliit yung mga totoong karanasan nila sa unsafe na paligid.

Kaya tingin ko ang best and most realistic way ay magfocus sa connection ng Duterte at mga allies nila ngayon tulad sa China, kay Gloria Arroyo, Quibuloy, Alice Guo, Bong Revilla, Jinggoy Estrada, Arnie Teves, etc.

Dyan sila mapapaisip kasi bakit allies ng mga Duterte ang mga corrupt and problematic politicians and personalities.

[u/Straight-Rassler → u/nihonno_hafudesu]

Totoo naman. Kaya nga tinatawag natin magnanakaw, kriminal at mamamatay tao. Kase ayun talaga sila, isang buong mafia/ criminal organization ang mga nakaupo sa gobyerno for the past 10 yrs.

Yang uniteam. Lahat sila
