The lesser evil?
The Philippine Star
|November 29, 2024
Supporters of VP Sara are castigating the Yellows and the Pinks on social media for just watching this fight between the former UniTeam partners.
But why should the Leni crowd support VP Sara in her fight? First of all, the Marcos-Duterte voters brought this situation upon themselves. Second, if the good guys must pick a side, they will pinch their noses and reluctantly support the lesser evil. And that's not VP Sara.
The problem with the UniTeam folks is that they have no sense of good or bad. Everything is about power. Bad is good as long as it is on their side. They have no sense of public interest and public trust. They do not believe in public accountability. That is why VP Sara is fighting tooth and nail to keep the truth about her misuse of public funds from being officially confirmed by the House investigation. But the truth is slowly and painfully being ferreted out, thanks to the questioning of key members of the House Blue Ribbon committee.
The VP Sara gang is egging on the Yellows and the Pinks to also go after the corruption under the Marcos administration. Sure, there is a lot of that going on. That's one more reason why the Leni supporters do not want to taint themselves by joining the current fray. It is better to watch from the sidelines. In the end, we can tell the UniTeam voters that we told you so! Leni gave us the option of a lifetime, and you folks rejected it.
By next year's election, it is hoped that the folks who brought the UniTeam to power would have realized their mistake. I have my doubts. If they again vote for the characters from Davao, then our situation may truly be hopeless.
