Party-list representative for PUV drivers under fire for her lavish wedding

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

"Claudine Bautista, the representative for PUV driver party-list DUMPER, is under fire for getting married in luxury destination Balesin Island Resort."

Congratulations to the newlyweds especially to Cong. Claudine Bautista. The malnourished, hungry, impoverished drivers she represents are all proud of her and wishes her the best.

Agot Isidro criticized the purchase of the gown, saying “That gown alone can feed hundred of families of displaced drivers. And you’re representing which sector again, Cong. Claudine Bautista?

Flaunting of wealth in time of crisis by a public official is a crime against decency and humanity. Sagad din sa buto ang pagiging insensitive eh! Saya at garbo ng kasal, habang ang mga nire-representante niya, higit isang taon nang nagpipilit makaraos sa panlilimos sa kalsada.

Michael Cinco gown! Balesin! This is nothing new. Partylist representatives do not genuinely belong to the marginalized sector.

Since the onset of this pandemic, we would often see & hear sad plights of public utility drivers begging for food & assistance in the streets of Metro Manila-  and it's only now we learn about the former having even their own party list representation in the lower House - keeping mum and silent about their relevance to supposed "members" in these times;  and now busy with their own version of ostentation.  What gives?

Ang lupet no. Kasal mo, binabatikos ng husto. Gusto mo lang naman ikasal hahaha. Choices in life talaga madalas eh no. Di matiis na hindi i-display. But it should be one of the rrsponsibilities being a public servant...especially when it is written.

She is an insensitive public servant at the expense of marginalize sector  that she represents and now in the midst of pandemic. Itbis unethical to show how luxurious she is.

Hindi ba niya naisip yung consequences kapag dinisplay niya yung karangyaan sa gitna ng mainit na paghihirap ng tao gawa ng pandemic ? Sisihin mo yung Michael Cinco at yung event organizer mo na dinisplay pa  yung magarbong kasuotan mo at handaan. Naturingan pa naman siyang representative ng isang sector na halos mamalimos na me maipakain lang sa pamilya tsk tsk tsk !!

Konting simpatya man lang sana sa mga drivers. Ang dami talaga nakaluklok sa gobyerno na walang mga puso puro pansariling interes lang sila. Yung mga PUV / jeepney drivers na nire represent niya ay noong 2020 pa namamalimos sa kalsada.  Napansin ba niya man lang?? Sobrang insensitive o wala ng talagang pakialam?

Ganito sana, nagresign muna sya sa pagiging representative ng mga jeepney, bus, taxi atbp. saka sya magpakasal ng bonggang bongga kahit sa Paris pa sila magpakasal walang babatikos dahil isa na syang pribadong indibidwal.

Naging PUV driver man lang kaya siya para makatarungan niyang mai-represent ang party list? Ginagamit at inaabuso ng mayayaman at makapangyarihan ang party list system na maganda sana layunin.

It's high time we abolish party list system which is being abused and corrupted by some dirty politicians.

Even if it’s a private funded affair, it is morally reprehensible indulging in ostentatious display of power and wealth, representing a vulnerable group at that!

 Yan ba Turo ng magulang mo hija?

RA 6713 Section 4 (h) Simple living. - Public officials and employees and their families shall lead modest lives appropriate to their positions and income. They shall not indulge in extravagant or ostentatious display of wealth in any form.

Her lavish wedding was considered as very insensitive in this time of crisis. The pandemic has brought most of us down to.our knees. Meanwhile poor drivers are begging on the streets.

Ang daming footages ng drivers na umiiyak at nanghihingi ng tulong tapos ganyan eh no. May lakas pa ng loob to post it sa social media. Back door route talaga yang congress para makapag kamal eh. Kapag nandiyan na, who you na yung mga bumoto sa kanila para i-represent.

Hindi naman masama gawing magarbo ang sariling kasal. Minsan, hindi masama na maging selfish... Kasal niya yun. Can afford naman siya. Bakit kailangan kaladkarin siya pababa. Medyo woke nga ba ang dating?

Ang issue dito is that there is a public official involved. Kinatawan pa ng isa sa mga hardest hit sector sa bansa. If you still dont get it, wala na kayong pag asa. 

Insensitive flaunting of riches. Should she have spared even 1/4 of the amount spent for her grandiose wedding to the welfare of the drivers she represents, she would have been an epitome of a representation to the marginalized group as mentioned.

Wala man lang pa vaccine sa mga PUV drivers ang beki na yan. Kahit anong gara ng wedding gown mo, kahit gaano pa yan kamahal, kaluluwa mo naman nakasangla na kay satanas.

This is a prime illustration of how the sublime concept of representation has been subverted, distorted. How can one individual present himself/herself as a representative of a group he/she is not a member of and he/she knows nothing about. The same is true to most in entire congress.

ABOLISH the Party List.  Or, have the members vote for their representative and make sure they represent the many and not just his/her family and friends.  What a SCAM!  Cannot win on a regular election so they fake their alliance with a group or profession they know NOTHING about! 

The partylist system perse is not wrong and minorities definitely need representatives. What is wrong is when oligarchs come in and use it as another leverage. marginalized groups ought to be represented by their own people. Whatever happened to common sense. Sadly, it is only these kind of character that are present in most party lists.

How on Earth could she ever represent a marginalized sector when she is a member of a elite political clan ... This is beyond words ... Gising gising na po tayo mga kabayan ano ho ... This should never ever happen in the first place ... Gumising, kumilos at bumoto po tayo ng tama ... Naway huwag na huwag po sana tayo magkaroon ng amnesya sa nalalapit na halalan ..

Abolish the party list system. Ginagamit lang ito backdoor para maging house representative.

Kawawa talaga drivers sa Pilipinas..Nagkaroon nga sila ng representative sa congress pero katulad din ng representatives sa ibang sektor ay nagpakasarap lang sila sa buhay.....

Dapat i-abolish na ang partylist system. They have done nothing in congress except being additional expenses for the taxpayers. Worst, they ended up as rubber stamps of the administration.

And those that truly represent their sectors are red tagged? I suppose you have to be rich, corrupt and powerful to be considered an ally of the current administration. 

Next year elections ay huwag na po tayo boboto sa mga party lists na yan. Wala namang nagawa...sayang lang ang mga sahod nila...

Kaya nga po suriin at pag-isipang mabuti ang ihahalal natin sa darating na eleksyon.
