Referring to Vice President elect Leni Robredo after the widow who wears yellow overtook Bongbong Marcos, the fruit from the loins of that dictator whose waxed remains are enjoying an air-conditioned room while us living human beings are bathing in our own sweat in this hotter than hot summer. On second thought, I'd rather be living and sweating.
Don't say you haven't thought this (something similar) ever in relation to a nemesis of yours. Of course, you have at one time or another! I have. But these kids haven't yet learned that you don't always say what's on your mind. Doing so would either greatly embarrass you or land you in a psychiatric ward.
The creator of this hate message is a 16-year-old girl who is attending or attended a Catholic school. She and her father have apologized, but not because of their own realization that what the child twitted is probably inappropriate. It was upon the instigation of the school the girl attended. For the school's part, it has disavowed any connection to the girl's twit. Good job, school! Improve your GMRC curriculum while you're at it.
This is a twit that came from the daughter of the Royal Couple of Tacloban City, Alfred Romualdez and Cristina Gonzales-Romuldez.
If I were Leni Robredo, there are enough insults in these twits to motivate me to grab Sofia's hair, push her face against her mobile device and make her EAT IT!
But on second thought, who is this child insulting? Leni Robredo is a human rights lawyer and working selflessly on the grassroots level. Her mother was what before she married into the Romualdez family? I'll give her a hint: Kring-Kring Gonzales - Google has lots of info and images of her. Of course, not that there's anything wrong with Kring-Kring's former day job, but you know, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?"
And time and time again, we are reminded that money can't buy class.
Let's not focus on his stupid argument because LENI is our VP! But these are fighting words coming from a Marcos, but I doubt any member from that family will survive Round 1.
You will find plenty of literature (as in published books, magazines, eherm millenials) detailing how the Marcos family introduced poll cheating into the Philippines and honed it into a fine art to stay in power for 20 years.
But I'll forgive Sandro Marcos for being clueless. He was conveniently educated overseas, probably so that the elders can hide those incriminating Philippine history books from the young ones. He was probably taught from birth that his family was the greatest thing to ever happen to the Philippines - this is what his father is spreading on social media. And those millenials who can't be bothered to go to a legit source ate it up, as proven by the 15 million votes that Bongbong Marcos got.
I heard Sandro is going back to London to finish his studies and hopefully enroll in a masters. Do you know who is the genuine, authentic Iskolar ng Bayan, the Isko of all Iskos? Sandro Marcos - libreng tuition courtesy of the Filipinos' money.
Sandro is quite the catch, per the buzz on Twitter. Me? I prefer Charice Pempengco.
So what is the moral lesson of these deleted twits?
Whatever you say or do, once it has been uploaded on the world wide web, will be there for eternity to hound you and your progeny. It will most likely outlive you (well, unless someone succeeds in finally breaking the Internet and everything in it gets destroyed) - ready to be resurrected with just a search of your name. SO BEWARE!
Another thing is: when you are sad, feeling lonely or feeling mental all around, choose to EAT YOUR FEELINGS, rather than vent your ire on social media. Twitter and Facebook are not your therapists. Eat cake, ice cream, brownies and those other delicious goodies! You'd be disgusted with yourself for being a pig after it's over. But at least, not millions of people are disgusted with you for being rude, classless, ill-bred and clueless.
