Hindi 'to tungkol sa intriga.
Tungkol 'to sa trabaho—at sa kapalpakan ng isang opisyal na puro porma, walang ambag.
Sara Duterte isn’t fighting for the Philippines.
Hindi siya lumalaban para sa serbisyo, integridad, o edukasyon.
Lumalaban siya para sa sarili niya.
Para sa kapangyarihan. Para makaligtas. Para manatili sa eksena.
At kailangan nating aminin 'yan nang harapan.
■ Classroom shortage jumped from 91,000 to 159,000 under her term.
■ She controlled ₱612.5 million in confidential funds—burned through ₱125M in just 11 days. Wala pa ring malinaw na breakdown hanggang ngayon.
■ Multiple DepEd officials received cash in envelopes—up to ₱50,000/month—labeled “Galing kay VP.” Hindi ito bonus. Hindi ito program. Para lang daw sa “mabubuting empleyado.”
■ Ang MATATAG curriculum na ipinagmamalaki niya? 35 schools lang sa 47,000+ ang nakinabang. 0.07% implementation.
Wala siyang binuong sistema.
Ang meron: sisi, drama, at sariling PR.
She:
▪︎ Blamed teachers
▪︎ Picked fights sa Senado
▪︎ Used DepEd for optics
▪︎ Resigned when accountability came
Ulit-ulit ang pattern: Iwas sa trabaho, hawak ang spotlight.
■ So tanungin natin:
May napatunayan ba siya?
✔ Umangat ba ang reading scores? Hindi.
✔ Nabawasan ba ang kakulangan sa classrooms? Mas lumala.
✔ May legacy ba siya sa edukasyon? Wala.
Ang iniwan niya:
- fake names sa budget
- secret funds na parang inubos sa memes, at - banta ng kamatayan sa Pangulo nang siya'y kinuwestyon.
Hindi siya public servant.
Isa siyang liability na may apelyidong makapangyarihan.
Isang prangkisa ng galit at entitlement.
Walang resulta. Walang direksyon. Walang ambag.
At eto ang pinakamasakit:
Habang siya ang nasa pwesto:
▪︎ Dalawa sa tatlong bata sa isang upuan
▪︎ G**o ang bumibili ng chalk gamit ang sariling pera
▪︎ May mga estudyanteng walang libro o silid-aralan
Ang ₱612.5M na ‘yon, pwedeng:
▪︎ Magpatayo ng 235 classrooms
▪︎ Bumili ng 20 million textbooks
Pero napunta sa “intel”—na hanggang ngayon, walang nakitang matino.
Gusto niyang maging Presidente?
Ipakita niya ang resulta.
Ipakita niya ang taong gumanda ang buhay dahil sa kanya.
Kasi sa ngayon—WALA.
At para sa ating mga botante:
Tumigil na tayo sa pagsuporta sa mga pulitikong paepal pero palpak.
Hindi tayo obligadong maniwala sa drama, sa branding, sa apelyido.
Hindi tayo obligado sa kanila—ang obligasyon nila ay sa bayan.
Kung wala silang silbi, wala rin silang lugar sa gobyerno.
Panahon na para tumanggi.
