Dictator Marcos, Saint Cory, and Enabler Duterte

[thread]

#OustDuterte has trended several times already, his downfall yet to be witnessed.

@TrillanesSonny, @risahontiveros, @kikopangilinan, and @SenLeiladeLima—prominent human rights and press freedom advocates.

Marcos has been compared to Duterte for the alleged neglect for human rights.

But why aren't they resisting Aquino?

Oh saint Cory.
