Filipino politics. And also defines the filipino psyche
Duterte, while campaigning, I will eliminate corruption. Or kill me.
A few years into his rule, and covering up his buddies, including the department of tourism secretary who openly said She won't return the 60 million peso plus the stuff she took home ... And customs chief caught with his hands in the cookie jar (rewarded by a transfer), and the massive Phil health scam (no corruption per boss)
Duterte "it's hard to eliminate corruption"
Voters: especially those paid trolls "yeah, we understand"
Case 2. 2 politicians strike an agreement, guy 1 will be speaker for half term, guy 2 will take over next
Come guy 1s term expiry, guy 1s supporters "we won't let go of this term as guy 2 is not good, he tried to dislodge guy 1. So guy 1 will continue".
Wrong you say ? I have had pinay GFs like that. Like "I will not honour my word because you looked like you didn't respect me for something trivial"
