Bello’s scathing condemnation of about 16 million Filipinos stems from their approval of Duterte’s anti-crime crusade and the hardline methods it employs against suspected drug pushers and bigtime drug lords. Which he characterizes alternately as taking a “leave of their senses,” a “mass hallucination,” and similar to “being under the influence of drugs.”
In his tirade, Bello never once acknowledged that the people’s acceptance of the extraordinary means currently being employed to solve the drug problem has, at its roots, the extraordinary neglect of the past administration. By refusing to even consider the possibility that there is some justification for this all anger, Bello shows himself to be the narrow-minded, self-righteous blowhard that he is.
No, Mr. Bello, we do not support Duterte because we are under the illusion that he has some magic wand that can whisk all our problems away. Nor are we under the influence of some spell that makes us blind to the dangers of that lie ahead. But after decades of empty promises, ineffective governance, and pseudo-leaders like you, we are more than willing to bite the bullet. Going for Duterte isn’t insanity, sticking to the same failed plan again and again is. And as far as being sick, yes we are – we are sick and tired of you and your kind.
On a side note, netizens who reacted negatively to Bello’s post earned a mocking reply from the author to “please keep the shit coming.”
