I appreciate everyone calling her out but what doesn't sit right with me is how some of you are treating this as your gotcha moment. Funny how you can drag her but can't give the same energy to your idol. Make it make sense.
Not that I’m tolerating Shuvs coz I’m not. Never been du30 supporter. BUT — just like Vice — people change perspective. Ang mahalaga, hindi bulag.
I hope we show grace to people who change perspective. Coz, truth is, crucifying them would not help. Same thing happened in 2022.
pray that her statement was genuine… born out of a real desire to listen, learn, and grow. but if it wasn’t, then pray even harder that she doesn’t end up as a pawn in the 2028 elections under the dutertes’ playbook.
because really, what does it mean when right after her statement, her tito yure still found reason to repost this shit?
fyi, politics is not divisive when you know you are fighting for the right reasons; what divides us are opportunists who use politics only to protect themselves, and in doing so, end up protecting the very system that oppresses the people.
yes, shuvee, sana nga matuto ka at mag-reflect.
hindi lang ito tungkol sa “personal growth”. it’s about unlearning and seeing clearly how these biases were weaponized by the duterte regime. and again, just because you were safe doesn’t mean others were. the so called “war on drugs” was built on demonizing the poor while protecting the rich.
if you take an honest look back, you’ll realize that under duterte, dissent was not only dismissed. it was twisted into a license for killings, a tool to silence critics and a way to keep people complicit in their own oppression.
i hate people who think that anyone deserved to die in that war on drugs na mahihirap lang ang pinuntirya. it didn’t solve anything, it just led many to believe that killing without due process is justifiable.
empath kuno, pero suportado ang mamatay-tao? @EtrataShuvee
.@EtrataShuvee, mahal kita alam mo yan but loving you also means not tolerating your performativism. you cant callout the system while also following people who are part of the problem. if you truly care, then unfollow kitty duterte and gela alonte. prove you're one of us.
Take notes @EtrataShuvee. Pls speak up. If you don’t you’re further fueling the notion that being mindanaon/bisaya equals being DDS and that’s a stereotype worth breaking.
Mabubuhay akong walang inii-stan pero ikamamatay ko tong bansa na to kung patuloy pa rin kayong pikit sa nangyayari. Kung sa tingin niyo mali ang pagcall out sa kanila, kaisa kayo sa pagtangkilik ng maling gawain at pinipiling maging bulag sa katotohanan.
I hope y'all see we’re not hating because of that vid, we’re asking her to speak up. You’ve been vocal, but we need clarity. Ipagtatanggol kita dahil tiwala ako sayo pero di ako magdadalawang-isip na bitawan ka kung hanggang ngayon taliwas pa rin ang pananaw mo @EtrataShuvee
this comes from a fan who sees you beyond the surface, @EtrataShuvee. i hope this time, you find the courage to speak about this matter. clearly and firmly. you are surrounded by people who have long been vocal about injustices (ms. kara and ms. jessica for example) and they admire you for being an intelligent principled woman. i do, too.
but duterte’s regime was not “good” because you saw “good” on your end. it was a period marked by systemic corruption, disinformation and the normalization of violence. his war on drugs led to the deaths of more than 12,000 people AND mostly from poor communities. many without due process. entire families were left traumatized, children orphaned. human rights defenders, journalists, and activists were harassed, jailed and even killed for speaking truth to power. yung iba nga hindi na nabalik yung katawan.
corruption under his administration was crazy too. it meant billions lost in pandemic funds, overpriced medical supplies while hospitals were collapsing and public officials enriching themselves while ordinary filipinos were struggling to survive. tapos yung issue ngayon sa DPWH connected pa termino niya.
Ingat po sa lahat maliban sa mga korap at nagtatanggol ng mga korap. Tandaan niyo, you cannot serve two masters. Hindi pwedeng nilalaban mo ang bansa pero patuloy na sumusuporta sa mga taong dahilan kung bakit lubog ang Pinas. Walk the talk.
