Filipinos Suffering Under Government by the Worst
The Philippine Star
|January 31, 2025
We're under kakistocracy, government by the worst. We've been so for nine years.
It started in 2016 with Rody Duterte:
• He who promised during his presidential campaign to jet ski to the Spratlys, plant the Philippine flag and tell off China, "This is ours." But who five years later said, "It was just a joke, I don't even know how to swim, so all who believed me are stupid."
• He who broke the Constitution by allowing Xi Jinping's China Maritime Militia to fish in Philippine exclusive economic zone. No volume, season, area limit. Throughout his term, CMM and China Coast Guard machinegun, water cannon and ram Filipino fishing bancas.
• He who waged bloody war on drugs. But who recently was exposed to have done so as front for shabu trade by kinsmen and Chinese crony Michael Yang. Not a single handgun in police custody after 36,000 killed because "nanlaban;" only a week-and-a-half's shabu consumption interdicted in three years.
• He whose appointees and Yang's Pharmally Corp. plundered P11.5 billion in inexistent or substandard pandemic supplies.
• He who on his first Christmas in office sneered before 5,000 Davao barangay officials, "Body of Christ in your sh*t." Then, he told soldiers they can rape up to three times and he'll defend them in court for free, and to shoot female rebels in the genitals.
In 2022 ascended BongBong Marcos:
• He who owes the government P204 billion in taxes as administrator of the plunderous Ferdinand Sr. and Imelda Marcos estate. The Supreme Court G.R. 120880 became final and executory on March 9, 1999.
