“Bobo ang mga sumasamba sa pulitiko.”
Hindi dahil wala silang utak.
Kundi dahil isinuko nila ito.
May difference ang support at pagsamba.
Support asks questions.
Worship shuts them down.
Kapag may achievement, okay lang pumalakpak.
Pero kapag may sablay at hindi mo na kayang punahin,
hindi na yan loyalty.
Attachment na yan.
Ang pulitiko, empleyado ng bayan.
Hindi siya celebrity.
Hindi siya messiah.
Hindi siya ang magliligtas ng buhay mo.
Kapag tao ang ginawang santo,
facts become enemies.
Criticism becomes betrayal.
Accountability becomes “pang-aaway.”
Hindi ka bobo dahil may sinusuportahan ka.
Nagiging bobo ka
kapag hindi mo na kayang sabihin
“may mali ka.”
Democracy is not about defending personalities.
It’s about protecting principles.
Kung hindi mo kayang magtanong,
hindi ka supporter.
Fan ka.
And fans don’t build nations.
Citizens do.
Democracy needs critical thinkers.
Not devoted followers.
