Here is hideous irony: many Marcos loyalists are OFWs - resentful, uninformed, seeking hope in the family of a dictator who pillaged and tortured the country. And they don't even seem to know that it was Marcos' economic policies that drove Filipinos to look for jobs abroad, and it was Marcos who asked foreign countries to impose visa restrictions on Filipinos.
A cunning lawyer, stern defense minister and powerful crony, he was one of the regime's mailed fists. Now he's the meek, obedient tuta taking orders from the semi-educated, unqualified, incoherent, lazy bubbleheaded son of the dictator he betrayed. That's some story there.

An unhappy former loyalist complains: Marcos trolls and vloggers were invited to the palace where they were served ensaymada, brownies and orange juice, which soon ran out. Meanwhile, totoy entertained the mainstream media in a Xmas bash that included a fancy dinner and a raffle of iPhones. What are the trolls bitching about? just accept that you're low-life orcs and menials and move on. Unity lang mga busabos.

Melon Husk is what Tony Stark would be if Tony Stark couldn't actually invent anything if his life depended on it, if he was a fraud, and he was a fascist.
It's officially the season of advent. Time flies so fast. Wonder what's in store for us this 2023.
