Wazzup Pilipinas!?
I kinda hate how Filipino twitter will attack activist manggagawa frontlining candididate Ka Leody just because he's upper middle class...
Give Ka Leody a break, as I would appeal to supporters of other candidates to give VP Leni a break, over trivial(?) matters.
Like, do you want everybody who represents you with good intentions to be less privileged and less mobile like you???
Don’t mistake me: I am voting for and supporting Leni against Marcos Junior. In fact, ayaw ko sanang banggitin ito kasi alam kong uncomfortable na sabihin ito. But if *some* kakampinks will go play the matapobre card against Ka Leody, I am willing to bring this up, just to prove that having a fucking corgi or a palatable table setting isn’t enough of a qualifier to tag someone as “elitist,” much less a landlord. We respect Leni’s track record of being a lawyer for the poor (Sumilao farmersetc). We must respect Ka Leody’s record of fighting for workers.
So does having a decent christmas deco and a split-type AC invalidate what Ka Leody has done fighting for better labor conditions in the last 3 decades? Weird.
It’s honestly so infuriating to see people maliciously read Ka Leody ulit?? Why do we think that a nice house and a nice middle upper class lifestyle SHOULD be extreme privileges na dapat out of reach sa mga factor workers etc?? I cannot even. Christmas greeting lang binaboy pa.
I just laugh your political immaturity and ignorance. In political economy, the most important one is political standpoint. Ka Leody is consistent on his stance against neoliberalism which condemns many working class families into poverty, inequality and low standard of living.
The whole discouse about elitism has NEVER been about personal lifestyles. We aren’t the ones saying that Leni is elitist because she’s also upper class. That has never been the point, even as I don’t agree with labeling her elitist as a person. It’s about policies, politics.
Oo ang daming typos kasi i’m so fucking livid. Tapos yung isa “showing off” daw si Ka Leody? HA? How is a picture that happens to be at home “showing off”?? Ano bang gusto niyo sa kanya? Ang baba talaga ng tingin niyo sa manggagawa? ultra-self-deprecation ba gusto niyo?
I’m a kakampink and I love this photo of Manggagawa Leody!
The message is: workers should have a decent place to live in, raise a healthy family, and have some time off to celebrate the holidays.
Actually, I'm happy that despite living a relatively comfortable life, Ka Leody has continued marching in the streets with and for the workers — unlike other politicians who try to brand themselves as "mahirap" but would spend millions for their campaign.
He's not even rich, he's just upper middle class and there's nothing wrong with that. Im pretty fuckong sure he has less wealth than Manny or Marcos Jr.
Go hate Marcos Jr. instead. Ka leody is just like every other Filipino, if not he understands struggles of the poor better.
Maligayang Pasko, Ka Leody and family!
Akala siguro ng mga kakampinks na makatutulong sa kampanya ni Leni yung pag-atake nila kay Ka Leody. Napaka-counterproductive pati.
Hmm. It's not like ka Leody and his supporters weren't petty towards Leni too. May misogynistic comments pa
Ang sad lang though na these two groups shouldn't be fighting kasi iisa lang naman pinaglalaban.
