Commentary: Early Demolition Campaign Against VP Sara Duterte Gives President Bongbong Marcos A Pass

It seems that in the world of Philippine politics, the concept of “too early” has been tossed out the window, much like any hope for a controversy-free election. In an utterly shocking turn of events, there appears to be a concerted effort to discredit and disparage Vice President Sara Duterte, almost as if President Bongbong Marcos has been anointed as the untouchable hero of our time.

Surely, it’s just pure coincidence that as Marcos’ first year in office was marked by a slew of questionable decisions and controversial policies, there’s suddenly an overwhelming urge to launch a demolition campaign against VP Duterte, years ahead of the next presidential election. Because who needs patience and evidence-based criticism when you can jump the gun, right?

It’s almost as if there’s a secret competition among politicians to see who can snatch the title of “Most Ridiculous Pre-Election Sabotage Artist.” But let’s not forget, it’s not about solving the country’s issues; it’s about making sure that we have a never-ending circus of political drama. So, strap in, folks, because the circus is already in town, and it looks like it’s here to stay.

If Leni Robredo, Not Bongbong Marcos Were President

If Leni Robredo, not Bongbong Marcos, were the President of the Philippines, our nation would certainly be on a different trajectory. While some may argue in favor of Marcos, let’s humor that notion.

Under Marcos, we would have a nostalgic throwback to a time when authoritarianism reigned supreme. Who doesn’t miss the days of censorship, human rights abuses, and massive embezzlement of state funds? A trip down memory lane, indeed!

Robredo, on the other hand, promotes democracy, human rights, and social justice, how boring! Marcos could bring back the golden era of crony capitalism, where his friends would profit immensely while the rest of the population scraped by. Who doesn’t love inequality and corruption?

Sure, Robredo’s emphasis on education and healthcare might lead to a more educated and healthier populace, but where’s the fun in that? With Marcos, we’d have extravagant dictator-sponsored parades, and who cares if the treasury runs dry?

In a world where absurdity reigns, a Marcos presidency might be the perfect fit. But for those who prefer progress, democracy, and accountability, the choice is clear – Robredo all the way!
