#Lenileaks is ALL about how to prop up Leni, how to make Duterte resign, and how to destroy BBM

Ousting Duterte would be disastrous for the Philippines, but as we’ve seen from #LeniLeaks, the yellows don’t care about the Philippines. They only care about themselves and their quest to get back in power.

There’s nothing in the #LeniLeaks messages that talks about real problems of real Filipinos. Everything is about how to prop up Leni Robredo, how to make Duterte resign, and how to destroy the image of Bongbong Marcos.

Strange how Leni Robredo, the queen of press cons, has not said a word on #LeniLeaks. The yellow media can’t move until she prompts them, but her handlers are probably still trying to figure out what to say. I think they’re playing “less talk, less mistake” for now, hoping the issue will die down in a few days.

In Noynoy’s time, the yellows’ strategy for distracting the public whenever something blew up was to float gossip about his supposed “love life”. I guess they can’t do this with Robredo, because she built her entire identity on her late husband’s memory. The media never ask about her rumored lover Bolet Banal, even when he’s right there in the leaked photos of Robredo’s US trip last Christmas. Exposing Robredo’s affair with Banal would ruin her “sweet and innocent” image.

But as we’ve seen from the #LeniLeaks messages, Robredo is anything but innocent. She may be lacking in the IQ department, but she has hubris and ambition in spades. She’s not just a pawn in the yellows’ game, she’s an active participant.

I noticed from the dates of the #LeniLeaks messages that the plotting against Duterte goes way back to the months when Robredo was still in the Duterte Cabinet. Which means, the whole time she was sitting at Cabinet meetings smiling at the President and other Cabinet officials and assuring them of her support, she and her boss Loida were cooking up the President’s ouster behind his back.

This woman is no amateur. It takes a PhD in conspiracy and connivance, not to mention Oscar-worthy acting skills, to pull off the charade she was able to keep up for nearly 6 months.

In public, she pretends she’s “supportive” of the President, and denies that she attended oust-Duterte rallies, even when there are photos and videos of her all over the internet that prove otherwise. This is high-level kapalmuks and trapo politics worthy of a Franklin Drilon or Leila de Lima.

Now that the #LeniLeaks have come out, any statement Robredo makes denying involvement in oust-Duterte activities would obviously be a blatant lie. But she’ll keep pretending anyway. That takes very, very thick skin, and Robredo clearly has it.

Does it matter that the mainstream media are silent on #LeniLeaks? Honestly, I don’t think it matters. Duterte supporters should stop looking for validation from the mainstream media.

Most journalists in the Philippines suffer from the yellow cancer, which is an incurable disease. Hopeless na yan. Just wait for them to die naturally. Like telephone operators, journalists will be extinct in the near future, because people can now go straight to their audiences when they have something to say.

If what you have to say has value, your audience will find you. Look at how Mocha Uson, Thinking Pinoy, and Sass Sasot are killing it on the internet these days. Six months ago, we didn’t even know who they were, but now their audiences are a lot bigger than Rappler or Inquirer.

The only journalists who will survive in the future are the ones who are serving the needs of the people, not their own interests or the yellow storyline. That basically eliminates 90% of Pinoy journalists.

I think the value of #LeniLeaks will be in the legal arena, when Leni Robredo is investigated in the future. It’s hard to tell as of now what form this investigation will take, but at the very least, the DBM should take a look at how Robredo is spending the OVP budget.

Why is her office using taxpayers’ money to malign the President and coordinate attacks against his supporters?

Why are taxpayers spending hundreds of millions to pay for the office and staff of this person who has zero contribution and keeps trying to sabotage the government’s efforts to solve our country’s problems?

The PET better speed up that election recount. If Robredo’s “win” is proven to be fraudulent, she should be ordered to pay damages to the Filipino people, and to reimburse all the expenses incurred by her office.
