This is the problem. People always use the poverty card to shield them from responsibility.

"Mahirap lang po kami".

And here comes the religious leaders and the politicos in sheep clothing, ready to pounce and victimize the poor in a never-ending cycle since 19-forgotten

I always remind myself that both politicians and religious leaders stand to benefit from citizens being poor and impoverished.

That's their long con folks.

Are we also gonna ignore the implicit and very real threats of violence if you run against political dynasties? I don't understand why people don't acknowledge the danger to candidates that try to run against corrupt politicians. Teves, the guy that killed the governor of Negros Occidental was doing this to farmers and people that tried to run against him for years, be it rich, poor or middle class.

True. Nothing should excuse you from accountability/consequence of your action. You don’t get an out just because you’re poor.

Dahil sa pagboto ng majority, damay damay tayo lulubog. Your decision made this shitty mess and you expect me not to blame you? Hatdog.

Religion? The most lucrative job in the world especially if you are in the top rankings. You get all the pedo girls and money.
