It’s not anymore surprising that every day, the social media is full of unpalatable news and what not and you won’t be surprised either that these same trolls and the people behind them are doing their best to destroy those so few good-thinking, sensible and seriously concerned politicians in the country.
Two days ago, the breaking news was that Duterte appointed Teresita de Castro as the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, same gal who was one of the responsible judges of the court to oust CJ Sereno. What the hell are these guys thinking? Imagine, she will only serve for more than a month because she will be retiring by October 08 and yet she gets all the additional benefits of a CJ. Good luck to us, that’s people’s money. That’s clearly a “pabaon” for siding with Duterte. She’s known as the “ampalaya” queen in social media, bitter about not being chosen before by Pres. Aquino. Opposition lawmakers have criticized her appointment, they see it as a reward for testifying against former CJ Sereno. She’ll be the head of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal where election protests are heard. Will she be impartial? That’s the big question. People think it is a done deal that she will favor Marcos’ claim to the vice-presidency despite the fact that VP Leni won. A refusal to accept defeat in good grace.
With all their billions, I wonder why the Marcoses still covet power in the government. They cannot take the money to their graves, sad to say. They cannot buy their place in heaven. Imelda Marcos wants her son to be president before she dies. Haha…what a deep sense of entitlement. And trolls are working non-stop.
I suspect politicians are alike, the world over.

No problem Anne, someone brave and courageous would have to make the first move to end all this. Marcos’ trolls are working overtime to destroy our country.

People like the Marcos family will never go away. It is the power they crave, and they have the money to buy it. Not unlike a certain man in America. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I think so too, That must have been planned before the former CJ Sereno was ousted from office. They are really out to build a case on Leni.
