Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.
Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.
Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.
[[STORYTIME]]
Everytime I was taking a Grab around the Philippines, I would always tip both on the app and in cash. But there was this one ride I don’t think I’ll ever forget.
The driver asked me if I was in a hurry because he needed to stop and fuel up first. I told him to take his time and not to worry. When we got to the station, I remember watching him count his notes and coins carefully, figuring out how much fuel he could afford for the day. He mentioned how expensive fuel has gotten now. I understood because it’s the same in AUS, but seeing him count everything right in front of me, may kirot talaga sa heart.
While we were waiting for the attendant to ask how much he wanted to fuel up, I reached over and handed him some money. He immediately told me my Grab was already paid by card and that it was okay, but I told him to take it anyway, that it was my tip or little help for the day.
I still remember the look on his face. He couldn’t believe it. He kept thanking me and said something like, “May panimula na ako agad sa araw ko.”
And after we fueled up, he told me that before he accepted my booking, his wife had just messaged him saying his name wasn’t included in some assistance list they were hoping for. You could really feel the weight he was carrying that day.
Honestly, the joy and relief it gave him stayed with me. Sometimes the smallest acts really do mean the most to someone carrying burdens we don’t fully see.
We respect her decision even as we disagree with it and believe that the national interest will be best served if at some future time she changes her mind and heeds the growing clamor of the people for her to lead the nation's fight for genuine service and good governance.
Today, given her rising poll numbers, I believe that Leni is in the best position to build the broadest and strongest unity not just amongst the ranks of the Liberal Party and our allies but to include all other groups and personalities outside our allied forces who are also looking to participating in the 2028 Presidential elections.
As her poll numbers grow, so will the number of politicians and groups of various political colors and civil society/private sector groups throwing their support behind her. A snowballing of support behind her bid is quite possible.
With her at the helm going into 2028 and given her current poll numbers that are much higher now than in the run up to the 2022 Presidential elections, a formidable coalition, far broader and more inclusive than the one we forged in 2022, can be cobbled together and lead us to victory in 2028.
Now more than ever, having witnessed the largest corruption scandal in Philippine history, our people are crying out for good governance, and public accountability. Now more than ever, all those who believe in meaningful change and honesty and integrity in our public institutions must come together, sacrifice our time and effort for the sake of a better future for our children.
I hope I am wrong but Leni's refusal to run, may create a leadership vacuum that I am afraid cannot be adequately filled by other contenders, this in turn could lead to disunity amongst our ranks and the splintering of not just our forces but of all potential allies outside our ranks. The net effect willl be the fielding of various political parties and groups of their respective Presidential bets, further weakening our chances and delivering victory to our adversaries.
We must forge the broadest unity possible for the cause of good governance and win this for our people and work together for a better future for our children.
Para sa bayan. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏❤️❤️
Ibalik ang 375 Million Pesos 🙏🏾
Hindi totoong wala tayong pera. Merong pera ang Pilipinas, pero either nananakaw o ‘di kaya ay mismanaged ng ilang opisina.
(sana buhay pa ko after this tweet 😅)
