The Son Is Not The Father

(Gabe Pineda is giving us something to think about before election day. Some sort of reminders so we can have an honest to goodness intelligent choice come May 9 2022. He is not twisting our wrist, all we need is to go freely & let our mind be blank & think of our future and our country in the next six years. Let us read what he wants us to know, and if it is still a NO for us, then so be it. Nobody is forcing us, it is still our decision ...)

If you’re voting for BBM because of his father, READ THIS:

This might look like I’m an apologist, but I’m posting this for the purpose of questioning

the reasoning of marcos loyalists. So, please! Read the whole post! If FEM ran for

president now, would they really vote for BBM based purely on credentials and

qualifications? Because you might think that they are the same man, but BBM is

nowhere near his dad. Not even a shell of a man of his father but more like a

sawdust. It would take brilliance and wit to pull off the biggest heist job in Philippine

history. Sadly, BBM doesn’t have both.

Here's a few comparison points:

Sr. - bar topnotcher 92.35%, cum laude, doctor of laws

Jr. - special diploma from oxford, law school drop out

Sr. - defended himself when he didn’t have a lawyer.

Jr. - can’t even attend to debates.

Sr. - charismatic, eloquent, barely stuttered

Jr. - ah — eh ahhh well uh alamano

Of course, Marcos Sr. was a tyrant. He plunged the country into a 70-fold debt from

$360 million in 1962 to $26 billion in 1985. He stole from the people. And most

importantly, he ruined democracy during his term. But the point is, controversies

aside, if we look at BBM and FEM side by side — they are nowhere near to be

compared. So if you’re voting for BBM because he is like his dad, that’s where you’re

wrong. He is nothing like his father. He is a weak leader and crumbles in times of

pressure .

Do you really think that if FEM was alive today, he wouldn’t go into the debates

and do everything to persuade and manipulate the people? FEM was a lot of things

and one of them is charismatic. His charisma, charm, and manipulation skills were

second to none. They don’t even belong in the same stage. So why are you you voting

for BBM? Give me a definitive answer that doesn’t include his dad’s name and

achievements or rather — his FAMILY name. And don’t give me that UNITY/hindi

naninira b/s. Give me a solid answer that pertains to his traits as a leader without

saying the word Marcos.

You are voting for an idea — an inaccurate imagination of who BBM is. If you’re

voting for him because he is a marcos, then think again, because he doesn’t even

live up to the name. The only similarity they have is that they are both thieves and

liars. They are both good in stealing money from the people but when it comes to

lying, I’d take FEM any day of the week. That man is the standard of deception,

revisionism, and lies. As for Bongbong? I’m sorry but I’d take a pass. He doesn’t

even do a bad thing correctly. Can’t even plunder like his dad.

If the sins of the father can't be inherited by the son, dapat pati achieve-

ments hindi ginagamit. Let Bongbong run as Bongbong. But is he really

any good without his surname? I think not. If he was named Bongbong

Rivera or Ramos or Sanchez, would you really vote for the man? I think

not.

Martial Law abuses and theft aside, if you look at BBM on an individual standpoint, he has nothing to show for. My purpose is not to persuade

you to vote for Leni anymore. I just want to make sure that YOU know

why you're voting for him. Kasi pag tinanggal mo na ang apelyido niya,

olats. Actually kahit may apelyido pa, olats.
