Notorious fascists in the elections should be rejected by the people

Philippine elections, already known to be a noisy, rambunctious affair will become even more raucous with the entry of this gaggle of murderers, red- and terrorist-taggers.
 
Three of the most rabidly anti-people personalities have announced their candidacies - Rodrigo Duterte for mayor of Davao City, Ronald Cardema for Laguna board member and his Duterte Youth Partylist for the House, and Marlon Bosantog and Lorraine Badoy of Epanaw Sambayanan Partylist for Congress.

Duterte needs no introduction. He is a murderer and a plunderer, with a filthy mouth to boot. Cardema and his Duterte Youth mistake blind and mindless anti-Leftism and pushing for the death penalty as worthy advocacies. Bosantog, Badoy and their Epanaw Sambayanan Partylist falsely claim to represent the indigenous people but have actually endangered IP leaders, organizations and communities through their reckless red-tagging.

These candidates and partylist groups, all bearing notorious records and bogus advocacies, have the gall to present themselves and ask for the votes of the Filipino people who they have lied to and deceived and whose interests they have betrayed. 

The people must resoundingly reject these execrable candidates and throw them where they belong—in the dung heap of history. #
