Shame on Maisug for attempting to inflate their negligible presence at the annual Philippine Independence Day Parade in New York City on June 2.
With all the finesse of a toddler claiming they’ve painted the Mona Lisa, Maisug and their few supporters draped in green t-shirts serenaded the crowd with “Pilipinas Kong Mahal” and bestowed a soapbox moment upon former Marcos mouthpiece Atty. Vic Rodriguez.
Video footage from SMNI labeled this modest affair as a “Maisug New York Rally,” a gross misrepresentation akin to calling a pothole a canyon.
In reality, Maisug’s band of merry few shuffled along the parade route, organized by a nonprofit Filipino American council, showcasing Filipino culture—not the political posturing Maisug attempted to spotlight.
Stealing the limelight from genuine Filipino pride? Maisug should have stuck to practicing humility instead of broadcasting their grandeur illusions.
Ah, the DDSheets and the critics of the Marcos administration have outdone themselves with their latest grand gesture of “civil disobedience.” June 15, 2004, will forever be remembered as “OFW Non-Remittance Day,” a masterstroke aimed at toppling the economy by halting those precious wire transfers from overseas Filipinos.
Genius, right? Except, of course, for the minor oversight that the first to feel the pinch will be none other than the paid pro-Duterte and anti-Marcos bloggers. These valiant keyboard warriors, accustomed to their regular doses of cash from mysterious foreign benefactors, will find their bank accounts as empty as their rhetoric.
Irony, it seems, has a sense of humor. One can only imagine the stunned expressions as these influencers experience a true taste of economic sabotage.
In the grand play of political theater, it’s a plot twist worthy of a standing ovation. Bravo, DDSheets, bravo!
