Ang pinaka-funny sa “KAKAMPINK, KAIN SUKA KAYO KAY MARCOS!” discourse ay kailangan mo munang maniwala sa isang alternate universe kung saan Kakampinks pala ang nag-UniTeam noong 2022.

Mga beh. Kami yung naka-pink. Kayo yung may eagle, green-red tandem, at soundtrack na “Bagong Pilipinas, Bagong Mukha.”

So kapag may DDS na naglalabas ng 48-slide PowerPoint tungkol sa kapalpakan ni Marcos expecting Kakampinks to collapse emotionally:

Okay? And?

Akala n’yo ba masasaktan kami dahil pinupuna n’yo ang politikong HINDI NAMIN BINOTO?

That’s not a gotcha. That’s literally supporting our old argument with updated citations.

“Kain suka kayo!”

Anong suka? Hindi kami ang nag-order. Hindi kami ang nagluto. Hindi rin kami ang nag-deliver sa Malacañang.

The basic analytical error here is a false dichotomy: porke kontra-Duterte, automatic pro-Marcos. Hindi po ganyan gumagana ang political spectrum outside Facebook comment sections. Political identities are not always binary, and opposition to one political faction does not logically imply allegiance to its rival.

In fact, contemporary research on Filipino voters already distinguishes Marcos supporters, Duterte supporters, and the liberal-aligned Opposition as separate political factions. So yung simpleng “anti-Duterte = pro-Marcos” framework ninyo is not political analysis. It’s tribal arithmetic.

You can oppose Duterte.
You can oppose Marcos.
You can criticize Marcos today without suddenly becoming DDS tomorrow.

Amazing concept: political principles can apply consistently to more than one surname.

In political science, this is also where negative partisanship and factional identity become relevant. Many Kakampinks were politically mobilized not by loyalty to Marcos, but precisely through opposition to Duterte-style politics and the Marcos-Duterte coalition. So attacking Marcos does not automatically create the cognitive dissonance DDS apparently expects.

Walang identity crisis kung hindi mo naman siya political identity in the first place.

At bago dumating ang inevitable na:

“EH BAKIT TAHIMIK KAYO KAY MARCOS?”

First, silence is not endorsement.

The absence of a Facebook post is not a declaration of political allegiance. Hindi porke hindi pantay ang volume, frequency, o galit ng criticism mo sa dalawang politiko ay supporter ka na nung isa. That conclusion simply does not follow.

Second, political attention is not distributed in a vacuum.

For many Filipinos alive and politically conscious today, the Duterte presidency is part of their direct lived experience. They watched the drug war, institutional conflicts, pandemic governance, attacks on critics, and the political culture of that administration unfold in real time.

Marcos Sr., meanwhile, ruled from 1965 to 1986. A huge portion of today’s electorate either were not alive or were too young to personally experience Martial Law. Their knowledge necessarily comes through historical records, court decisions, scholarship, journalism, archives, education, and the testimonies of people who lived through it.

That distinction matters.

Political psychology would describe part of this through recency and experiential salience: events you personally witnessed, especially recent ones, are naturally more cognitively immediate than events you know primarily through historical evidence.

That does NOT mean Martial Law was less serious.

It means human beings tend to react more intensely to political experiences they personally lived through.

So if some Kakampinks appear more emotionally hostile toward Duterte than toward Marcos Jr., that is not automatically proof of hypocrisy, secret Marcos loyalty, or historical amnesia.

Sometimes the explanation is considerably less dramatic:

They literally lived through one administration.

And learned about the other through history. 1/2

Yung batas ni Kiko ba talaga ang problema?

Hindi ito “cinematic.” Hindi ito “scripted.” At lalong hindi ito nakakatawa.

Ang tinatawanan ng ilang DDS commenters ay kuwento ng isang 19-anyos na pilay, isang inang nasa abroad nang patayin ang anak niya, at isang pamilyang kalaunan ay kinailangang pulutin ang mga buto nito at ilagay sa garbage bag dahil wala silang maayos na lalagyan.

Ito ang facts:

* Si Raymart Siapo ay 19 years old at ipinanganak na may bilateral clubfoot. Baluktot ang magkabilang paa niya. Hirap siyang maglakad; mas lalong hirap tumakbo.

* Nagsimula ang kaso sa isang akusasyon matapos umano siyang makaalitan ng kapitbahay. Inakusahan siyang nagbebenta ng marijuana. Akusasyon iyon—hindi conviction.

* Ayon sa testimonya at mga naunang ulat, dumating ang mga armadong lalaki, hinanap siya, pinalo umano ng baril, tinakpan, isinakay sa motorsiklo at dinala palayo.

* Ayon sa mga saksi, pinatakbo siya ng mga dumukot sa kanya.

Isang batang hirap maglakad.

Pinatakbo.

Hindi niya kaya.

Naupo siya.

At binaril.

* Ang naunang medico-legal report ay nagtala ng tatlong tama ng bala sa ulo. Sa pagsusuri ni forensic pathologist Dr. Raquel Fortun, homicide ang manner of death at may indikasyong binaril siya mula sa relatibong malapit na distansya.

* Walang publicly established drug test na nagpapatunay na “adik” siya. Walang hatol ng korte na nagsasabing drug dealer siya. Walang conviction.

* Mas nakakaduda pa: marijuana ang unang akusasyon, pero matapos siyang mamatay, shabu at baril naman ang sinasabing narekober.

* Nasa Kuwait ang nanay niyang si Luzviminda nang patayin siya. Ayon sa kanyang kuwento, kinailangan pa niyang lumuhod at humalik sa paa ng employer niya para payagang umuwi at mailibing ang sariling anak.

* Makalipas ang mga taon, dahil hindi na kayang bayaran ng pamilya ang puntod, hinukay muli ang labi ni Raymart.

* At doon dumating ang isa sa pinakamalupit na larawan ng kahirapan at kawalan ng hustisya sa kuwentong ito: kinailangan nilang pulutin ang mga buto ng sarili nilang anak mula sa puntod at ilagay sa itim na garbage bag.

Bungo. Buto. Mga labi ng anak.

Sa supot na ginagamit natin para sa basura.

Tapos may mga Pilipinong nag-comment:

“Umiiyak ka, kami natatawa hahaha.”

“Parang may direktor.”

“Magaling ang script.”

Kapag umabot ka sa puntong kailangan mong pagtawanan ang isang inang nagkukuwento kung paano pinatakbo ang anak niyang pilay bago barilin—dahil ayaw mong masaktan ang imahe ni Duterte—hindi na political loyalty iyan.

Fanaticism na iyan.

At kapag mas mabilis mong idepensang “scripted” ang luha kaysa itanong kung sino ang pumatay sa bata, hindi na Truth Commission ang kailangang siyasatin.

Sarili mong konsensya.

Isa itong mahalagang hakbang para wakasan ang hospital detention at matiyak na walang pasyente ang mapipilitang manatili sa ospital dahil lamang sa hindi kayang bayaran ang kanilang bill.

Ang serbisyong pangkalusugan ay karapatan ng bawat Pilipino, walang dapat makulong sa ospital dahil sa kahirapan.

Isulong natin ang mas makatao at makatarungang healthcare system. No to hospital detention! Yes to dignified and accessible healthcare for all! 💗✊
