You political butterflies, who forgot your ideologies, your mandate, the masses you defend and serve, just to
get your feet inside Malacanang.
You, who were there in EDSA to kick out the dictator, you heard him say that he would resign to get Marcos
in. And you voted for him?!?
You, who raged against the pork barrel! In his Cavite sortie, the Duts hinted at releasing Bong Revilla! Binoto
mo pa rin siya!
You, reformed drug addicts, or even just the dabblers, who could testify that change is possible if given the
chance. Why were you so willing to rob others of that chance? How selfish of you.
You, chauvinistic, abusive, philandering men who found justification in this misogynistic pig--oh what can I
say to you? Just pray for your own redemption.
And you! You, my fellow woman. He molested his household helper. He wanted to be first in line to gangbang
a missionary. He paraded his mistresses in front of his wife, even when they still lived together. He kissed
women on the lips during his campaign, even as he boasted of a common-law wife and a couple more
women on the side. I do not understand how all that did not make you rethink your vote. And some of you
even called him Tatay, or mylabs. What was wrong with you?
He ran his city like a fiefdom. No track record at the national level. Dismal performance as Congress
Representative--nanood lang ng sine. Disfunctional personal life. Physical and mental health in question.
Rumors of murdered media personalities who went against him. Admissions of killing criminals outside the
justice system. Rumors of his son involved in smuggling and drug running. His children beating a guest artist
just because of a bad joke. At alam naman natin lahat ng ito even during the campaign period. Pero ganun
eh. Iba siya. Totoong tao. Bakal na kamay. Change is coming. Huh? What the?!?!
And then there's the Death Squads! How could that have been okay with you?!? You didn't know about it? You
didn't know how bad it was? And you ask me why I blame you?
One of the reasons I got from my friends--because he's the only one who can achieve radical change that this
country badly needs. Bullcrap! There was never ever any empirical proof of that. You just believed the macho
stories. You bought into the myth they built with manipulated polls and paid trolls.
It was a vote of desperation. And you chose to be desperate at a time when our country was at its best
economic standing in a long time. When we were emerging as a new tiger. Desperation makes you stupid,
you know.
Yes, we vote for both emotional and logical reasons. I did. The death squad issue was an emotional thing for
me. It was against my values. But I also applied logic. It was a method that wasn't working. The data showed
it wasn't an effective method. And dammit! It was illegal. On top of it being immoral! And there was no logical
data for a projection, an intelligent prediction, to make anyone think that he could solve the crime and drug
problems of the whole country. Ni walang diagram. Walang PowerPoint presentation. At nung kinuwestiyon
siya about the How--sinigaw niya "bayot ka!" Wow lang. Boto ka pa rin. Ibang klase!
You forgot your education, your managerial orientation, your values, your faith and voted for a womanizing,
cursing, murdering, lying, stealing, cheating man who was clinically, officially certified to be mentally
imbalanced.
Two weeks before the vote, we found out that the Duterte family had properties and bank accounts not
justified by their earnings as a political dynasty. And that did not make you wonder about his claims of being
angry at corruption?!?
You've made up your mind. And you voted for him.
Because you were angry about traffic, frustrated with the MRT, outraged by laglag bala. And you voted for the
one who only said he would solve those problems, without presenting any viable solution, just imaginary
numbers and ridiculous deadlines. Naniwala naman kayo.
You just felt like voting for him. Basta. Duterte talaga.
YOU. VOTED. For the worst president since Marcos. Maybe even worse than Ferdinand Marcos.
And look at where that vote has brought us. Really look. Do not just scan the pages of Mocha, Sass, and his
army of apologists.
Loans piling up. Peso slipping. Jobs and investments dwindling. Grants disappearing. Our islands being
grabbed from us. Corruption growing. Nepotism, cronyism, incompetence, the death of meritocracy. Fake
news hinahayaan at kinukunsinte pa. Wala nang bigas! And shit lang--may crime and drugs pa rin! May traffic
pa rin. Sira pa rin ang MRT. At umuulan ng bala, hindi lang sa airport, pati sa kalsada. Batang babaeng may
hawak ng Barbie doll naging collateral sa palpak na gerang walang kwenta. Pero ang mga drug lords malaya.
Eto pa! "Hindi siya trapo!" Gago, he's the most trapo politician I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Guns, goons,
gold, cronies, dynasties, mistresses, illegally gotten wealth—he's got it all. And now--trapo na nga siya, isa pa
siyang malaking doormat--Welcome, China! Our Islands, Yours Na. Tinapon ang ating victory sa Hague. At
binenta ng libre ang bansa natin. With loan interests on our side. Hindi pa natin tapos bayaran ang mga
utang ni Marcos, eto na naman.
Bwisit kayong lahat. Binoto niyo ay loko-lokong bastos na drug addict. Ang pangit pa.

Am I being unforgiving? Why? Are you asking for forgiveness? 😎
