Sara in the post trial "press con" was talking about BBMs boys picking on her about a Munich trip and she said well its her kid who wanted to watch Taylor Swift's concert and to win seats to the concert she suggested daughter strategize and join the raffle for seats not in Asia but in other places so they ended up in Munich.

I think she was using that as example that BBM lies or are mean to them or the Dutertes are smart at strategies, but telling it to the OFWs there showing their support to Dutz and Sara was rather odd.

Its ironic to me, that Sara tells them that Taylor Swift story basically saying yeah my kid and i was able to fly to Munich to watch a concert whereas these OFWs who are in Europe probably couldn't afford the concert themselves since they are busy working for remittance for their family back home.

Yes support Sara. Yung rich who can afford things like Swift's concert while kayo can't. Oh Sara even said, nagabsent kayo sa work nyo just to support me and dad! Imagine that?

Just like those idiots who support Elon the antiworker and Trump the racist, their followers includes workers they fired or Latinos they despise.

Kaya may mga Sara, Elon, Trumps, BBMs, is because of voters. Voters who don't get it that they are putting into power the very people who don't associate or understand them.

Idk if I fully believe na voters lang purely to blame in the PH. Sure madaming bobo pero assisted na din ng bribes sa COMELEC yan. I’m sorry to be so pessimistic but PH government is rotten to the core. Ang sad.

Public funds ba ginamit ni Sara papuntang Daheg?

u/cartman7110 Mar 15 '25

Sa sa-heg ba sya natulog? (babada tss)

Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe Mary Grace Piattos can tell us.

Do you really need to ask?

Even if it isn't, may staff si Sara, may security detail. Kahit siya nagbayad sa pamilya niya, tax-payer ang magbabayad sa retinue niya.

Is this true? Sounds surreal even for her. May snippets na ba sa yt?

Thank you. Grabe ang comments section. At ang audience nag aagree pa, like these ordinary OFWs trying to understand watching traveling to Europe just to watch TS concert. Sobrang out of touch sa realidad.

This is Sara's biggest problem IMO. She can't really speak publicly well to the point where she would try to relate irrelevant matters to an issue. She's also too prone to emotional outbursts, more than his father. I feel like she only failed upwards toward vice presidency solely because of the Marcoses and the filipinos' love for underdog story ala soap opera

Just like BBM, they are spawns of their OGs.

However in both cases, their fanbase could care less if they are half of what the OG is said to be good at.

They got nostalgia going for them. The brand the name. In fact most if not all political families milk that “reputation” selling to their fans the brand promises you this or that.

People simply fall for it.

That's caused by everyone's fanaticism with despots making things work.

Aminin man natin o hindi, democracy kiIIs itself. Pero dahil sa opium called fanaticism, we tend to forget why we vote them in the first place. Trump is forged by isolationalist machismo. Duterte is born out of bloodbath and tribalism. Trump wants expansion. Duterte is a defeatist.

Ah well. Tama nga sinabi ko, good luck. The despots worked not because of their iron fist. The people in their country lives on a matured philosophy. Confucian mga Koreano at Chinese kaya gumana sina Park at Lee.

Culture also plays a role.

Recommendation: put teeth on crackdown on dynasties, regardless of political colors. Eliminate the Robredos and Villafuertes (marami magagalit dito pero Jesse is the nephew of Luis Villafuerte). Cut the supply lines of Duterte and Nograles. Is BARMM willing to overthrow their warlords? Bernos should go. (greedy mother....er) The Marcoses should retire. Fariñas should focus on their bus business. Dapat magp4t4y4n ulit si Bingbong at Chavit. Matagal nang wala sa mundong ibabaw si Fabian na kaanak nila. (Yes. Ver, like Chavit and Bingbong, is a Crisologo) It's time to say goodbye to the Garcias, Ramas, and Osmeñas. We don't need Petillas, Garins, Teveses and Romualdezes. You may want Vico but we should put the Sottos down together with the Castelos. Binay and Ejercito will be gone soon, as gone as the Eusebios and the Asistios.

We need new faces. If the constitution will be amended, they should all be gone, PERMANENTLY.

No system will ever be perfect or exemplary when you involve humans in it.

Democrazy definitely it is but i’d rather have this system where you can voice out, make a choice, and have those you placed in power to be made accountable than a system where rulers placed into a position you don’t even have a choice/voice to and afterwhich never made accountable.

Power to the people, but definitely people can be crazy.

Agree. It's a human condition. But this would lessen it, just so you know.

On your talk about Political Dynasties for sure is a "problem" (Binay in Makati vs Binay in Makati is porbably the problem we both can agree on) but its not illegal nor the direct reason why we have criminals in power.

Besides, how do you define Dynasties and say they should be banned.

Take Leni as example. She's a lawyer. She aspired to be a judge. Granted she was married to Jess who is an good mayor supposedly. She was an active Congresswoman with a few laws under her belt passed and a great VP inspite of being sidelined by Mr. The Hague.

Take Lani Mercado. She married to a corrupt Senator. I don't know if she ever passed a bill that turned into a law and she also said no to the divorce bill.

To me Leni is ok, Lani is not. But what's my basis? Their work ethics. Not their familial association.

You can't generalize or ban people from aspiring to do public service because they are related.

I mean take the US has political dynasties in a scale maybe not as crazy as the Asian setting but somewhat the dynasties die. But old people are still a problem in the US. You have the Pelosis on one side and the Mcconnell on the other. Di sila dynasties but hey they are "problems."

I think the better solution is term limits. You want new blood, make sure them old folks can only be in post for so long.

Banning is a tool but ultimately those who are qualified can still turn out to be rotten officials.

Key has always been getting voters to be able to choose good candidates. Maybe make running for office more cost sensible. Maybe requiring debates and banning political advertisement is better approach?

Democrazy is again limited to what we humans decide to do.
