SOME celebrities took to social media to show their disappointment over Ferdinand Marcos’ burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
Among them was Enchong Dee who was brave enough to say that Marcos is a “thief, murderer, dictator.”
“I strongly stick to my statement before… marcos will always be a #THIEF #MURDERER #DICTATOR #marcosNotaHero,” tweet ni Enchong.
“Bastusan na ito,” say naman ni Jim Paredes.
Angel Aquino, on her Instagram account, posted this message: “When our feelings are as dark as the shirt on our back because we’ve been spat on, mocked and ridiculed, all we see is the red in our flag.
“These are times of discomfort and dissent, please wag tayong tumigil until we are heard. Tayo naman Ang pa-kinggan nila because so far they haven’t made any real and good decisions for us.
“They trivialize our history, our struggles, our lives as Fi-lipinos. Wag tayo tumigil. This is as much our country as theirs. Our land, our money, our rights. We’ve been passive for too long. Enough.”
Si Lourd de Veyra naman ay nag-post ng photo ng Marcos bust na may nakalagay na “pati libing nakaw.”
So, how are we reacting on this brouhaha? Well, idinaan na lang namin sa maikling tula.
“I steal, you idolize. I kill, you idolize. I plunder, you ido-lize. I massacre, you idolize.
“I am the standard by which killers, thieves, plunde-rers and murderers are measured.
“And you, my followers, are the standard by which idiots are measured.”
