The EXPERTS Among Us

In the looming impeachment trial of Sara Duterte ... YouTube is gaining grounds and the Quadcom/Tricom hearings are giving Batang Quiapo a run for its money.

The voyeur in every Filipino ... and their unquenchable thirst for news (regardless of whether it is fake or not) make internet habitues swarm the pages similar to a swarm of bees.

                                      ****************

With the impeachment being hyped and pushed to the front burner ... notice how too many Filipinos want to get involved. Even if it means ... they will be in the eye of the storm.

If you are looking into the details of YouTube activities ... marami diyang mga pinabili lang ng suka (pahiram ng linya Mr. BBM) aba may mga youtube channel na ... at buong gilas na nagbibigay ng kanilang EXPERT opinion in what's new and sizzling in Philippine politics.

                                          ***************

Imagine noong pandemic ... isa silang virologist who talks about COVID like it was their "piece de resistance" or their specialty of worl. To think na graduate sila ng IT or Hotel and Restaurant Management.

With Inday Sara's impeachment ... naging lawyers/vlogger bigla masquerading as EXPERT political analyst. The fact of the matter is ... sila ay parang mga langaw ... dumadapo sa kung ano ang mabaho.

                                          ****************

And mind you ... pati trabaho ng mga congressmen at mga abogado ay pinakialaman na nila. The whole populace suddenly becomes pseudo-lawyers trying to invade the sanctum of the in.

Others become political analysts ..., and others metamorphose as political scientists giving Ronald Llamas and Richard Heydarian .... a cordial and friendly competition in ideas and insights.

                                         ****************

Still others despite their lack of training muster the courage to articulate and communicate Latin tongue-twisters mistula nga silang nagsunog talaga ng kilay sa law school ... pero hindi sila abogado ha?

Nagkukunyari lang pala ... with constant practice ... mukhang nakabudol sila at maraming gullible minds ang napapaniwala nila.  

                                          ****************

May isang "intrimitida" na buong ningning na nagsalita "Dura lex ... sed lex."  Which means the law is hard ... and harsh ... but it is the law.

Dahil kilala siya na hindi naman abogado ... isang bratinella rin ang nagsagot ng pabalang: Dura lex ... sed lex ... pyrex! Nangaasar lang baga.

                                          ****************

Aside from naglipana na mga pseudo-analyst at pseudo-lawyers ... pinuputakte na rin tayo ng mga vloggers sprouting like mushrooms.  I really don't mind kung sila is in the mold of Christian Esquerra, Richard Heydarian at Chris Tan.

Yong iba wala talagang mga personalidad ... yong iba hindi man lang nakabihis to command respect and high regard. At marami sa kanila ang nagmumura ... they were made to believe that if you cuss ... you hurl profanities ... and foul language ... pasado ka na. It becomes a click bait.
