Hindi Na Muli: Ibasura ang Kasinungalingan ng Uniteam

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

"EVIL IS EVIL — NO MATTER THE DEGREE. STOP JUSTIFYING THE LESSER EVIL."

It is time we wake up from the long and damaging illusion that choosing the “lesser evil” is a practical or moral solution. The truth is simple: evil is still evil, whether it is subtle or blatant. Accepting any form of deception is a betrayal to our future, our children, and our country.

We must stop glorifying leaders who are skilled only in manipulation, illusion, and historical distortion. The Philippines deserves leaders with a genuine heart for service—not expert actors trained in fooling the masses.

Let us be clear: the so-called "UNITEAM" was a scam.

Presented as a symbol of unity, their alliance was built on convenience, not conviction—a desperate marriage of political survival. And time has unmasked their true motives.

Fake Unity? The alliance between Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte promised a united front for the Filipino people, yet internal conflicts, public disagreements, and backdoor power struggles soon surfaced (source: Rappler, October 2023).

Broken Promises? From inflation, confidential funds, and the weaponization of red-tagging, to the lack of accountability in the handling of calamities—what we’ve seen is a government that thrives in political theatrics, not service delivery (source: Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism).

Deceitful Governance? Even former allies have exposed the cracks in their coalition, with public officials now distancing themselves from what is being called a "fractured facade" of unity (source: Inquirer, August 2024).

We were deceived.

And now, they expect us to choose again from the same mold? No.

Never again should we fall for repackaged lies or recycled candidates from an alliance that failed to live up to its grand promises.

There are far more capable and sincere leaders beyond these tainted alliances.

Let us break the cycle. Let us raise the standard. Let us not settle for anything less than integrity.

Say NO to both Marcos-Duterte and their loyal surrogates.

Say YES to leaders who lead not with ego, but with empathy.

Pilipinas, panahon na para pumili ng tunay na mabuti.

Narito ang Tagalog version na may parehong lakas, emosyon, at batay sa mga totoong pangyayari:

"MASAMA PA RIN ANG MASAMA—WALA ANG KONSEPTONG 'MAS KAUNTING KASAMAAN'."

Panahon na upang iwaksi natin ang maling kaisipan na ang pagboto sa "lesser evil" ay isang praktikal o katanggap-tanggap na solusyon. Isang kasinungalingan ito na matagal na nating tinanggap bilang katotohanan. Masama pa rin ang masama, kahit gaano pa ito kaliit. Ang pagtanggap sa kasamaan, anuman ang anyo, ay pagtataksil sa kinabukasan ng bayan.

Tama na ang pagpili sa mga lider na magaling lang sa panlilinlang, sa pagpapanggap, at sa pagbabaluktot ng katotohanan. Ang Pilipinas ay karapat-dapat pamunuan ng mga tapat at tunay na naglilingkod—hindi ng mga tuso at mapag-imbabaw.

At malinaw ang katotohanan: ANG UNITEAM AY ISANG PANLOLOKO.

Ipinresenta sa atin na simbolo ng pagkakaisa, ngunit sa likod nito’y pansariling interes lamang ang dahilan. Ito ay isang alyansang binuo para lang manalo, hindi para maglingkod.

Peke ang pagkakaisa. Ang tambalang Marcos-Duterte ay ipinangakong magdadala ng kaunlaran at pagkakasundo, ngunit ang mga bangayan, lihim na away, at agawan sa kapangyarihan ay lumabas din kalaunan.

Bigo sa pangako. Mula sa patuloy na taas ng presyo ng bilihin, isyung sangkot ang mga confidential funds, red-tagging, hanggang sa mabagal na pagtugon sa kalamidad—pinatunayan nilang husay sa drama, pero palpak sa serbisyo.

(Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism)

Mapanlinlang na pamumuno. Pati ang ilang dating kaalyado nila ay nagsalita na laban sa kanila, isiniwalat ang bitak-bitak at siraan sa loob ng kanilang grupo.

(Inquirer, Agosto 2024)

Niloko tayo.

At ngayon, gusto nilang bumoto tayo ulit ng mga kandidatong galing sa parehong bulok na sistema?

Hindi. Hindi na muli.

Marami pang mas karapat-dapat na kandidato—‘yung hindi galing sa pekeng pagkakaisa, hindi sakim sa kapangyarihan, at hindi master ng propaganda.

Ibagsak ang mga kandidato mula sa dating Uniteam.

Itaas ang pamantayan sa pagpili.

Pumili tayo ng tunay na mabuti—hindi ng ‘di gaanong masama.

PILIPINAS, ORAS NA PARA SA TUNAY NA PAGBABAGO.
