"Just like religious beliefs in the crusades, your political beliefs are not facts. They are political beliefs. It can be political views, political ideologies but they are not facts. There can be facts about your political candidate but it’s not a fact that your political candidate is better than mine or that mine better than yours. Only Science and Math can make use of the term “fact”. Politics is not a science. It is highly subjective and subject to interpretation.”

The Philippine mainstream media has flamboyantly exposed the limits of their credibility by choosing a linear approach to broadcasting. A demolition machinery which sealed all the progressive movement of PRRD for the nation. The Philippine MSM showed its true colors by continuously highlighting all baseless assumptions and opinions of the opposition with foreign intervention which catapulted to the rise of credible resources from social media for the Filipino people and by the Filipino people.
Not everyone can see right thru the mainstream media bullshit when they have persistently chosen to become an echo chamber of the opposition which polarized the country to an extent which seem to be a goal that was set for a gain which was never for the country. The infamous 1986 Edsa revolution would never have had happened if we were not made fools by the mainstream media. Three and a half decades of darkness for the Philippines and the mainstream media is still focused to empower their demolition job because the administration is not their favored party. It's been more than 3 decades when Marcos was overthrown and exiled to oblivion and the Filipino people was made accustomed to eat "pagpag" as their daily staple while they lost respect for the government because we were made the uncivilized and uneducated minority who can render cheap to free services to foreigners in our country and foreign countries as well. Terrorists and rebel fronts are all inside the Philippine government. Three and a half decades until Duterte became president. I say it's not for the mainstream media to silence our praise and admiration for the real positive changes that PRRD administration gave the country. It's not the media who will decide. It's the Filipino people.
It's been more than three decades and we still don't know who really killed Ninoy Aquino when the media was present at the crime scene. There were videos and recorded interviews of Ninoy Aquino's final moments while he was still inside the plane until he walked outside and got shot. No media airtime whatsoever. Just a leverage to hate Marcos and a declaration of Ninoy Aquino being a hero.
As a regular Filipino citizen, I'm saying all this from a neutral standpoint. It's been more than 3 decades and the Yellow slogan of "Marcos Magnanakaw" and "Martial Law victims" are exactly the same. Nothing changed. It validates my instincts that this fight against the Marcos is not the fight of the Filipino people. It's someone else's personal grudge which resonated the whole country because their weaponry is the mainstream media and the Catholic church leaders. Three and a half decades later, Imelda Marcos is now the most beautiful 93 year old who witnessed his son redeeming his father. Now don't give me that "She's too old to serve prison." bullshit. If the mainstream media claims she was charged guilty of 100 counts of corruption, then why would it take more than 3 decades if the evidences are valid? Why didn't the mainstream media broadcast those almost 1000 cases that were filed against the Marcos in US which were all either dismissed and acquitted because none of the evidences presented were valid? That was a rhetorical question. The trial was made in the U.S.A. because Saint Cory Aquino ignored FEM's plea to allow him to return to his country of citizenship to undergo trial and/or for proper burial so you can't insult the US justice system by saying money can buy anything because that cliche is only applicable to the Philippines. Thanks to Saint Cory Aquino.
Oh now, you want to highlight all the thousands of deaths and tortured victims during the martial law? We were all fed the same bullshit because they were all written in academic books. I'm not even trying to change history. It's just that after three and a half decades, I'm not expecting the exact same news about them. No case was even filed against Marcos regarding the matter which is exactly the same tune of the mainstream media about all the thousands of extrajudicial killings of PRRD. There's even a big ICC scare which is legitimately lost in translation now that we have a new president elect. I stayed in school and graduated college so I am fully aware of the same redundant music played by yellows who seem to wrote the books about Marcos being the evil one. I say we must all have the right mind set and only consider the things that will be a catalyst of positive change, just how PRRD became a catalyst to bring Marcos back in Malacanang.
Anyone who has a heart for the nation will be able to spell it out. It doesn't only take high I.Q. to be able to decipher Philippine politics. It takes high emotional and social intelligence too so go figure.
