When Power Turns Petty (and Personal)
We've got Congressmen Abante and Paduano using Congress like their personal playground—forcing vloggers to apologize just because they didn't like what they wrote.
Worse, they even threatened to cite them in contempt and detain them. All because someone online dared to share an opinion that didn't align with theirs.
Abante even called one of the vloggers "tanga" in Congress. Imagine that. An elected official insults a private citizen for having a different view.
If they believed the vloggers were spreading fake news, they could've just filed cyber-libel. But instead, they went for the drama—public shaming, threats, and flexing power. That's not leadership. That's just being a bully.
Public service isn't a free pass to silence critics. Not everyone will clap for you. Not everyone will agree. That's called democracy.
If you're that sensitive to opinions from regular people, the problem isn't the vloggers. Maybe it's you.
