Current president of the Philippines, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., watching F1 races while the country is in multiple crises

Current vice president of the Philippines, Sara Duterte, refusing to tell the public why she needs SO MUCH MONEY as Confidential Funds for "Education"

calling it a "shitshow" is an understatement

"why are there so many tweets?" I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF OUR SITUATION, ESPECIALLY FROM THE FILIPINOS' PERSPECTIVE. this might as well be the only time I get to tell about it too especially given that we have a history of being silenced and shot down by our political abusers. read my messages. then try to understand. then read them all again. I need you to understand and know this well. almost begging, even, because we are in a state of turmoil and we may have to fight for our rights — we might have fight for our lives and if anyone asks what happened, and if anyone so dares to tell you that we were all fools- i hope by then you will have known the deep struggle we had to go through just to fight for ourselves and the very president we wanted to have Filipino resilience should not be celebrated. Accountability must be demanded.

[referring to the Commission on Elections] You are rich in funds. Even if- all we want is ONE reliable VCM (Vote Counting Machine). That's it. That's all we want. Voting should not last beyond 10 minutes, but how many hours have we been in line here? The resiliency of Filipinos is not an honorary badge. We should not be used to being sweaty, tired, and hungry.

With this in mind, there have been some speculation that PayPal might pull out from the Philippines like they pulled out from Ukraine due to the Ukraine/Russia conflicts.

A freelance illustrator had to personally reach out to PayPal to clarify this.

I would like to end this with an archive of documents, news articles, and resources comprehensively detailing the Marcos era, especially during the Martial Law. He has committed heinous crimes against the Filipino people as well as robbed us of ₱203B which should have long been paid in their estate taxes.

Please help me spread awareness. I cannot trust the international media and news outlets to properly tell our experiences without dubbing us collectively as fools or idiots who let a dictator's son have power. I cannot trust them to tell how we fought so hard and accumulated too many supporters only to be let down by manipulation and exploitation.

That will be all, and thank you for reading.

Trying to make the comfort woman post about hating men when both Dutertes are a fucking plague is fake feminism at its finest.

They're both violent, they've both stolen, they've both red tagged the fuck out of people who oppose them. They're evil. I don't trust people who act like gender is the reason they're scumbags when Sara Duterte herself has used gender to excuse her shittiness.

Trying to make it about men when it's about fascism is a fucking joke.

All arguments are invalid, thank you.

Nakakainis lang yung mga nagpo-post na:

Wala nang pag-asa sa Pilipinas, Aalis na lang ng Pilipinas at mangingibang bansa, pati yung mas nanaisin pang maging kangaroo sa Australia(kahit na alam mo na sarcastic lang).

Ako una si Ping, nagpunta sa presinto na si Marcos na ang iboboto. Pero sa huli, nagdasal ako sabi ko sa isip ko na Lord kayo na po bahala sa kamay ko. At dinala ako ng kamay ko kay Leni.

Hinuli ko ang pagboto sa gusto kong manalong presidente dahil importanteng desisyon yon.

Hindi naging magaan ang loob ko, kasi si Marcos nga ang nasa plano ko. Pero di ko rin namang pinagsisihang ibinoto ko si Leni dahil alam ko na wala naman siyang ginawang masama at mayroong syang angking talino para pamunuan ang bansa at ilang beses na rin niyang napatunayan ang pagmamalasakit sa mga Pilipino.

Ang hindi ko lang maunawaan ay yung mga taong nawawalan na ng loob na may pag-asa.

Huwag naman natin ipagkait sa bansa ang pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit. Hindi man manalo ang mga sinusuportahan nating kandidato, maniwala pa rin tayo na hindi mawawala ang pag-asa. Ang importante, nakilahok tayo sa karapatan nating bumoto, at ibinoto natin ang alam nating tama.

Ipanalangin natin sa Panginoon na hawakan niya ang isip at puso ng mga kandidatong mananalo.

Ipanalangin natin na sa kabila ng mga nangyaring hindi maganda sa gitna ng eleksyon ay maitama at maisantabi na ang mga ito ng mga kumandidato.

Huwag nating hayaang kainin tayo ng inis, galit, pagtataka pangangamba at takot.

Tumindig pa rin tayo at magkaisa. Para sa mapaya at maunlad na Pilipinas.👊🌸

Mabuhay Pilipinas!🇵🇭

so yea, the philippine department of education has a confidential intelligence fund now, jesus christ wtf

Vice President Sara Duterte, earlier defended her request for confidential funds, saying that it would be used to address the issues in the education agency such as sexual abuse, students’ involvement in illegal drugs, recruitment to insurgency, terrorism and violent extremism, among others.

the dep ed confidential intel fund is bigger than the money going to the actual philippine intel agency

and there's the new sovereign wealth fund shenanigans they're pushing through, so open season, steal everything

So the next secretary of education never experience teaching ??? Are you kidding ???

A terrible heat wave in New York didn’t stop a hundred people from demonstrating in front of the Philippines Mission to the U.N. on July 24. Filipinos, Filipino-Americans and their supporters were protesting the newly installed regime of President Ferdinand “Bong Bong” Marcos, Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte.

New administration: K14 guys 😎

My mental health and I who haven't even gotten to Grade 11 yet:

Congratulations President-elect Bong Bong Marcos and Vice-President-elect Sara Duterte for winning the 2022 Philippine national election. I hope that you will be able to fulfill your promises to the Filipino people.

I also hope that you will continue what the Duterte administration has started like the Build Build Build infrastructure program, and his anti illegal drugs / anti-insurgency campaign.

I will be praying for both of you to succeed. And as long as you are serving the interest of the Filipino people, you will always have my support.

Good luck, and may God bless the Philippines!

Nagagalit pag bina-bash si Kris Aquino kasi may sakit daw, pero may laughing emoji at nagsasabing "deserve yan" nang nalamang may Covid si President Bongbong Marcos. Mga HIPOKRITO talaga kayong mga Dilawan at Pinklawan. Nakaka-awa kayo sa totoo lang. Pero, ano pa naman ba ang ie-expect mo sa mga taong walang Diyos? Tsk, tsk.

Been seeing a lot of "Kakampinks" (Leni Robredo supporters during the last Philippines election) saying "Tama nga kami" (we were right all along). This is a jab to those who voted for the current President and Vice President of the Philippines, who currently on bad relations with each other, pointing fingers about who is the incompetent one. Spoiler alert: it's both of them.

Anyways, being smug about the election choices that people make does NOT help with the greater cause and what are the real sides of this fight - the ruling class in power and the working class.

Raoul Manuel of the Kabataan Partylist and Member of the Philippine House of Representatives put it so well in the following tweet he posted:

Rough translation:

Friendly advice to allies for good governance:

It is not enough that we are right. We need to reach out to those who can become additional allies, including those who have doubts and are questioned about their decisions. Let's multiply and act together.

It is the strategy of the deceivers to label and consider as enemies those who do not share another's views. Let's be on guard not to be like them.

Potential allies will distance us if, consciously or not, we appear self-righteous or arrogant.

Fight!

The following post was initially written in Discord as a long string of messages for my overseas/international/foreign internet friends.

The original messages have been kept intact with some grammatical corrections as well as formatting modifications and minor additions for better emphasis.

Indented texts are the ones which were originally Discord messages while non-indented texts are new additions.

With that aside, the content remains the same as it was initially sent to my friends.

Now, without further ado, let me begin.

Not being able to express yourself properly in a foreign tongue does NOT mean you are stupid.

Being fluent in what the rest of the world deems as a 'major' language does NOT mean that your opinion matters more than other people's.

Speaking in the language of our colonizers and our oppressors gives you a personal advantage, gives you opportunities, gives you a place in today's 'modern' society. It DOES NOT give you the right to look down on everyone else who can't communicate the same way you do.

Personal attacks do not justify your political opinions, they demean them.
