That new curfew the DILG is trying to implement... doesn't that smell like Martial Law Lite™?

#PHPol #Philippines

Why is a national government department taking local matters into its own hands when this should be on a barangay- and city-level? /rhetorical
It reeks of the smell of Tokhang really idk anymore
@teacherbuknoy If we had no Martial Law and Tokhang, this would have been a sensible move to instill a bit of discipline (I am all for having no karaoke past 10 p.m.). But considering the government's track record for abuse of power, I totally understand why this is alarming.

@luthien1126 will become obviously anti-poor as well. My ass if DILG sends people to roam the streets of BGC to catch anyone breaking curfew.

We've played these games before, and it's the people who keep losing.

@luthien1126 and that Jonvic Remulla dude is obviously farming for karma points so his name is bigger come election time 💀 he was Cavite governor for years and couldn't do it there. What makes him think he can do it on a national level?
@teacherbuknoy Are we even surprised?
@teacherbuknoy True! Good luck sa implementation. And the real question is: Why is this important considering all the other pressing issues?
