Sa gitna ng ingay na ito mula sa mga pwersang Dilawan at anti-Marcoses, sa pag-asang mapigil ang isa pang Marcos na makabalik sa Malacanang bilang Presidente, may isang tao na nagpost sa social media tungkol sa kanyang pananaw kay BBM, sa katauhan ng publisher ng TraveLife Magazine na si Christine Cunanan, na ang pamilya ay ayon sa kanyang kasaysayan, dilawan mula noong 1985.
Basahin ang kanyang buong post:
WHY I AM WRITING ABOUT BBM This was the question someone asked me yesterday. For the record, I have very little ties to the BBM Camp, I have not made up my mind about a candidate, and historically my family has been Yellow since 1985 — way before most people, so I grew up personally knowing all the original and true Yellows including Cory herself.
FAMILY TIES However, I’m bothered by the tendency of the Yellow mob to lump their gri3vances and accus@tions about Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos on BBM after 30+ years. BBM is the son — he is a first-degree relative of a president 50% of the country intensely dislikes and 50% loves. So this election is really a b@ttle of two factions trying to get into Malacanan with their own agendas rather than the b@ttle between good and smart vs. bad and stup1d that so many Yellows simplify it into. Like him or h@te him, the fact is, BBM is not the cr1minal and th1ef people so quickly @ccuse him to be — unless Yellow lawyers prove his actual wr0ngdoings to us with hard facts, evidence and even a court case of BBM’s actual and direct th3ft of public money. Not his father’s. Otherwise, it’s just a sound byte that’s way too easy to resort to instead of the truth.
THE B*ULLYING EXPERIENCE So many families undergo b*ullying, accus@tions, ostracizing and acts of v1ndictiveness simply because they are related to alleged cr1minals. This is nothing new, especially in the emotional Third World. However it’s important to distinguish an alleged cr1minal from a family member of an alleged cr1minal. The former is an active participant in wr0ngdoing while the latter is a beneficiary of the wr0ngdoing. There is a world of difference between the two, and the Yellow Camp had better do their homework and find something better than resurrecting a d3ad father, or their credibility is sinking every day.
OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Lastly, may I remind everyone that our Constitution guarantees our right to innocence until proven guilty. This is happening to BBM now but it can happen to anyone else in the future, especially if the Yellows return to power. I saw for myself between 2010 and 2016 what they did to so many people who were figuratively stoned in public before they were actually found gu1lty of anything.
PGMA : J@ILED WITHOUT TRIAL Just look at PGMA’s c@se. Like or h@te her, it was a vi0lation of her rights as a citizen of the Philippines to be held for years in j@il without an actual c@se formed aga1nst her or a trial. Again, our Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to a fair and speedy trial and this did not happen for PGMA because her Constitutional rights were ignored. This double standard is the height of indecency for supposedly decent people.
THE MEANING OF DECENCY Decent people don’t go to church, take the moral ground and then judge other people for their differing beliefs. They also study the real facts so that they don’t f@lsely @ccuse others. Most importantly, just1ce has no color. A son is not responsible for the s1ns of the father (if this was so, at least 50% of Manila elite will be in j@il or social purgatory), and we cannot apply one set of ethical standards to those we like and another set to those we don’t. Not to mention the fact that all this superior morality from people who pray and then bend the rules for people they don’t like is really grating on the nerves.
