Why are people so gullible? I was at People Power, when the Marcos authoritarian family was ousted out of power. I was a student in De La Salle Zobel at the time living in Paranaque. Just coz a prior article is wrong doesn’t discredit my experience. Mga tanga! 🤪

The troll machinery for any kind of dissent against authoritarian regimes continues in the Philippines. I feel bad for people that need to do this kind of work to make a living. It however will not stop me in standing up for the truth about our history. Don’t rewrite history!

I concur. This letter was not made out of free will. I bet it’s not like Allan said- Sige sulat ako para mapakitang ok na kame. No one here should be apologizing besides AG. Not her husband and certainly not the waiter showing they’ve made amends. Is it so hard to apologize, ba?
To make someone do this is even worse than the initial act against him.

It’s funny when someone doesn’t have the logic to argue about facts. Instead they sling insults that frankly are baseless.Calling artists stupid was a low blow. Yet when a pun is hurled their way, w/c mind you is based on fact, they can’t fight their own fight. Pft, chew on this!
