THE FILIPINO LACKS CRITICAL THINKING

Rodrigo Duterte and company would blame the so-called DILAWANS for the bad state of the Philippines when the former was still running for the presidency, the legion of Marcos Jrs' trolls would point their fingers to the DILAWANS for being the inventors of corruption from 1986 until the last presidential elections were held, and that Marcos, Sr. whom they alleged to have been destroyed by the DILAWANS was actually a hero. To the dismay of the intelligentsia, many people especially from the lower rung of the society believed that the DILAWANS were the villains as regards corruption thriving in the Philippine society, and for having invented tales which contributed to the downfall of the elder Marcos.

The alliance between Duterte and Marcos Jr. was formed prior to the 2016 presidential elections; the results were a resounding victory for Duterte but a close vice-presidential loss for Marcos, Jr. Since then, the voices of the trolls of the Duterte-Marcos camp were reverberating all over social media platforms, which contributed for the presidential victory of Marcos Jr. in 2022.

The people believed the bad stories hurled against the LP party members, otherwise known as the DILAWANS, not knowing that Duterte himself was a DILAWAN, who became one because of his mother Soledad Duterte, a PEOPLE POWER advocate of Davao City in 1986 who supported Cory Aquino during that particular era. Rodrigo Duterte became OIC Vice Mayor of Davao City in the process because of his being a DILAWAN The vast majority of the Filipino voters, also did not know that Marcos the elder was himself an LP party member before the 1965 presidential elections,  he only bolted the L.P. party because of his presidental ambitions in 1965, therefore making the old Marcos a former DILAWAN himself.

If these happenings in the Philippine political history were discovered by the so-called naive voting populace of the Philippines earlier, their choices for the presidency in 2016 and 2022 would have been different, because in the true sense of the word, Duterte and Marcos Jr. are also DILAWANS which also contributed to the downfall of the Philippines.

The sorry state of the country nowadays, can not just be blamed to the DILAWANS (if the accusations against them are true), but also against Duterte and Marcos who are great purveyors of fake news, and to the voters of the Philippines who lack critical thinking for not knowing that Duterte and Marcos were once upon a time DILAWANS.
