Plastic na ambisyoso? Manila Bulletin writer binutata si Yorme Isko: “Isko Moreno has lost his lùster!”

Kamakailan lang ay naging viral sa social media ang tungkol sa naging pahayag ng kilalang taga-suporta ni Pangulong Duterte na si Krizette Laureta Chu laban kay Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.

Sa kany4ng facebook post, sinabi nito na maraming netizen ang hindi na suportado si Isko dahil sa naging pahayag nito laban kay Pangulong Duterte.

“Many people who were once ambivalent about Isko Moreno have decided that they don’t like him because he committed a grievous mistake that most Filipinos raised in the culture of “Mano po” and respect to the elders feel offended with.” ani pa nito.

Inamin rin ni Chu na isa na siya dun sa mga hindi na itutuloy ang pagsuporta sa alkalde dahil narin sa ipinakitang asal nito kay Pangulong Duterte.

“I’m one of those people. I have many times praised the things he did—especially in the beginning of his term—but I’ve also realized that many basic issues have been ignored and neglected. But here’s the deciding factor. He just brushed off Duterte’s remarks at the SONA, which didn’t even mention him or the city, as “ngawngaw ng ngawngaw.” You don’t say that to an old man if you want citizens to respect you.” ani pa nito.

ISKO MORENO HAS LOST HIS LUSTER

Many people who were once ambivalent about Isko Moreno have decided that they don’t like him because he committed a grievous mistake that most Filipinos raised in the culture of “Mano po” and respect to the elders feel offended with.

I’m one of those people. I have many times praised the things he did—especially in the beginning of his term—but I’ve also realized that many basic issues have been ignored and neglected. But here’s the deciding factor. He just brushed off Duterte’s remarks at the SONA, which didn’t even mention him or the city, as “ngawngaw ng ngawngaw.” You don’t say that to an old man if you want citizens to respect you.

Coming from a Duterte supporter, it is okay to criticize the President. Seriously, it is. I know many of us get defensive and easily pressed but we know it’s par for the course. Lacson criticizes him a lot. Gordon criticizes him. Miguel Zubiri, too. Even Jojo Binay. But they stay on topic. They never stoop so low as to be rude to an old man. They call out the government, but I have never heard them personally att4ck the President.

This is why they never get a severe backlash even when they att4ck the policies of the Duterte admin. They stay professional.

So to all political strategists, tell your candidates never to disrespect a 74-year-old man who has never att4cked you personally.

Stop them from exhibiting the kind of arrogance Isko Moreno has exhibited. A mayor with barely 3 years in office, who has had a very lacklùster career so far—with less than one-year stints in DSWD and one more government agency.

Si Lacson nga hindi ganyan magsalita and he’s proved way more than Isko.

Why do these people insist on going down the Leni Robredo, Leila de Lima, basically all of LP route? Akala ko ba matatalino itong mga ito?

You don’t say “ngaw ngaw” to an old man who is beloved by the majority of people and expect to get away with your reputation intact. Even non Duterte supporter friends, who are not huge fans but not huge haters too, say Isko is getting too big for his britches. You have to wonder why he’s acting the way he does. Who gives him confidence?

HE DOESN’T HAVE THE ERAP CHARM.

A friend said, “Maybe he thinks he is popular enough because he is a celebrity who had charm like Estrada.” And I said, “No he doesn’t. He doesn’t have the kind of celebrity Erap had. Erap was a swashbuckling hero in movies who was a real matinee idol and act1on star and that translated into politics, plus he worked his way to the top. He was mayor for many years, and then senator. And then Vice President. He really did pay his dues. Isko’s movies when he was a celebrity were different. Very, very different. He never really was an act1on star so he could not bank on his roles to give him a savior image.

Plus, Isko acts like he could zoom straight into the Presidency from a three-year mayoralty stint where he has not transformed a city. To be fair to Estrada, he did change San Juan. Duterte changed Davao. Manila’s still Manila except a little prettier with bridge lights. It’s an arrogance you could sense.”

And what really rubs me the wrong way is that Isko was full of praises for Duterte in the beginning, and the sudden turn around near election really points at ambition more than an organic severing of relationships. Vico and Joy Belmonte, who are not even pro Duterte and did not sing him praises, know their place and has never sad anything personal about the President. Mas nakaka turn off ang ganon.

Yung biglang liko. Para ka tuloy plastic na ambisyoso.

How sad, nalunod sa isang basong tubig. VP LENI, you can have him as your running mate. So he doesn’t run in Manila and when he loses to somebody calm like Tito Sotto or whoever, he won’t be in the political scene anymore. We need humbler leaders in this country. Pls do us a favor, VP LENI.
