Meet Aling Bebang, the self-proclaimed high priestess of the Digong MyLabs cult. A true-blue Duterte die-hard, she has made it her life’s mission to remind us—every waking moment—that President Marcos will never be loved. “NEVER!” she shrieks, as if she holds the master list of acceptable Filipino emotions.
Never mind the 31 million votes. Never mind the approval ratings. Never mind the fact that, outside her echo chamber, people have actual lives. According to Bebang, love for Marcos is impossible because, well, she said so. Who died and made her the national spokesperson for hatred?
She clutches her Duterte pillow at night, whispering sweet nothings to a framed photo of MyLabs, while composing the latest Facebook sermon about how Marcos is doomed to eternal rejection. But here’s the irony: if nobody really loves him, why is she so obsessed? Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t Marcos—it’s her.
