To my non-Filipino mutuals who are asking “what’s happening in the Philippines right now?”, let me sum this up:
The Philippine elections is being rigged. We’re being cheated on and if the “front-runner” wins, our people will suffer and we might possibly fall into a dictatorship.
It was an easy choice. Marcos, with a lot of baggage of unpaid taxes, fake university degrees, bad human rights records, ill-gotten wealth.
And Leni Robredo: untainted, no corruption, no fake university degrees, human rights lawyer.
It was supposed to be an easy choice.
As @NicoleCurato mentioned a while ago in CNN, “this election will decide who lives and who dies in this country.” That’s how crucial this is, so if you feel anxious and nervous, remind yourself that feeling that is very much valid. Hindi ka OA.
welcome to the Philippines, where people would vote for an actor because he's handsome rather than a lawyer with actual knowledge on what the country needs
before commenting abt the pink pfps and naming it smth like a "cult" pls do try to read why it's happening and what's it about and why it's important here in the philippines.
