Word War On Drug War

Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was arrested at Ninoy Aquino International Airport when his party came back after a campaign rally in Hong Kong.

The arrest was a "big surprise" even his party did not expect that. The ICC threw a curveball ... it was unforeseen leaving the whole Duterte delegation flabbergasted ... open-mouthed and thunderstruck.

                                               ***********

Ngayon labo-labo na ang mga reaction ng mga netizens depending on which side they are.

Even close friends have to "unfollow" each other because of this. Kantiyawan dito at kantiyawan doon ... seems to be the mood ... showing how divided the nation was when talking about two giant family titans flexing political muscles to show who is weaker ... who is David ... and who is Goliath.

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

Kantiyaw ng isang kampo: "O last day na ng pagtroll mo ... kasi kinulong na ang boss mo."

Dagdag pa ng isa: "Sa troll reunion ninyo pagusapan ninyo kung paano makuha yong mga backpay at wage arrears ninyo?"                                                

                                   **********

Sabi ng isa: "Gustong gusto ko ang pagto-troll mo. Matapang at may laman. How to follow you twice?"

Advice ng isa: "E di i-follow mo ulit ... tapos i-unfollow mo. Hahaha."

Another advice: "I-block mo sir?"

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

Headlines bannered: "Duterte's arREST triggers unREST!"

Sagot ng mga anti-Duterte: That headline comes from an extrateREST-trial." How can the country REST when DDS and their flock have that irREST-able urge to create fake news and man-made scandals?

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

Isang pro-Duterte ang nagcomment: "Sa tanang buhay ko ... sa panungkulan ni Tatay Digong ako nagkaroon ng feeling na parang "SAFE" at may PEACE ako."

Sagot ng anti-Duterte: He feel peace and safe ... in exchange sa pagiging "UNSAFE" ng iba. Yong mga pinatay have already their peace ... at yong mga naiwan nila ... ay unsafe."

                                               ***********

Another pasaring of the day: "ICC sana isama na ninyo ang mga DDS.

Ang sagot: "What a mindset. Pray ka sana na hindi masampolan ng mga adik."

Grabe ka naman sa mga DDS - Dingdong Dantes Supporters.

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

Tanong ng isang miron: "Ano na kaya ang mangyari sa Pilipinas pagkatapos nito?

Sagot ng DDS: E di nagsaya at nagdiwang ang mga drug lord at mga adik.  Nakuha na nila ang kanilang hustisya.

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

Sabi ng Pro-Marcos: Umpisa pa lang ito ng pagbabago ng Pilipinas sa Hustisya ng mga War On Drugs Victims. Vote straight the Marcos Senators.

Ganting sagot ng mga Dedeez: "Bakit basura rin ang ipalit sa basura? Mga anay pa rin pala ang gusto ninyo?

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

Sagotan ng dalawang kaibigan: "Call it immaturity ... but I am going to unfriend anyone who mocks FPRRD. My mental health is far above anyone. Go ahead unfriend me..."

Sagot ng kaibigan: "This is immaturity ..."

"Indeed this is immaturity ... so why are you here? Get the hell off my wall.  You are not welcome. No one is soliciting your opinion."

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

Lest my friend get offended for citing them as an example of how morbid the ExPres' arrest has become to everyone's sanity ... I can't help it.

Aside from being immature ... it was a classic example of how juvenile and childish reaction to something you are not principal to (or involved with.

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

Nabuhay bigla ang social media (including my site sa word war ng magka-bilang kampo ... mga kontra tira at mga bwelta ng dalawang faction.)

Sabi ng isang pikon ... "I have been following this site for years.  It is time to unfollow."

In our work as bloggers ,,, we have two types of readers.  We can be hard-hitting at times and our audience uses their CRITICAL THINKING to analyze, interpret, evaluate, and make judgments about what they read or hear.

However, we also have readers who are unorthodox, dissident, and emotional types ... they can always go on a rampage and become CRITICAL ,,, and not THINKING at all.

Photo Story

As the cost of running for a Senate seat requires millions, some candidates are jumping onto the election bandwagon with nothing in their pockets except perhaps their names and the service they rendered for the country, which spells honesty, moral correctness, sincerity, and trustworthiness.

But do names ... high ethical standards ... and righteous behavior sell?

Suntok nga sa buwan yan ... pero yan ang pinaghawakan ni Heidi Mendoza.  Wala siyang pera, she doesn't have a political machinery and the grassroots support are hopeless and next to impossibility.

In this era of POGOS and impeachments ... she is running on a campaign slogan that says" Ang kandidatong sure na hindi magnanakaw." The mantra has a name recall and is quite effective ... but will it last? And is it enough?

Heidi Reyes Lloce-Mendoza (born November 3, 1962) is a Filipina auditor, Certified Public Accountant, and former civil servant. She served as Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) from 2015-2019.

She was the commissioner of the Commission On Audit and is an advocate of good governance. Her track record of fighting corruption for decades is proof she has the credentials to be part of the upper chamber.

She doesn't sing and dance to get your vote ... but think guys she is not auditioning for Pilipinas Got Talent ... but the Philippine Senate. Am I making sense?

She is asking you to consider her in the election of 2025. 

She has the goods ... and the good in her is just getting better. Much better than those dancing and singing candidates whose only claim to the senate seat is their popularity ... unschooled, inexperienced ... and who thought of their senate job as just a means to an end ... not because they are good at it.

It breaks my heart to see the image above. Kung sino pa ang knowledgeable at seasoned ... and ready to take the job ... siya pa ang walang pera.

Kung nagbibigay tayo ng chance sa mga iba diyan who make the senate floor their favorite hangout ... often seen as have  nothing to do ... be idle and loafing their time away ... and during hearings have nothing to contribute ... why not Heidi Mendoza in their stead?

Ang Ingay Ninyo!

Ako nga may "sariling mundo" wala akong ingay. Quiet lang ako.
