MANILA, Philippines – Aiza Seguerra asks the public to stop the mudslinging between the supporters and non-supporters of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte.
“I would encourage na sana wag naman tayo maging blind followers. It will help our president kung hindi tayo one sided at marunong tayong magbigay ng respeto sa opinion ng iba,” she said on her Instagram post on Tuesday.
Aiza pointed out that it was okay to defend Duterte from his detractors. However, she reminded his supporters like her that “maging responsable naman tayo dahil dala-dala natin ang pangalan niya. Read the whole article, not just headlines. 'Wag puro memes. Siguraduhin ninyo kung tama ang information ninyo. Intindihin ninyo kung talagang ganon nga ang ang gustong sabihin ng taong involved.”
She also called the attention of those who are claiming that the media is “biased,” but doesn’t look after their actions towards the non-Duterte supporters.
“Nagrereklamo tayo na biased ang media. Eh kayo? Kaya niyo bang hindi maging biased?” she said. “Yung iba nga sa inyo, ang tindi ninyong mangutya agad-agad dahil lang hindi ninyo nagustuhan ang sinabi. Galit na galit tayo sa binabato kay Tay Digong eh minsan nauuna pa ang iba sa atin na mambato sa iba ng mas masasama pang salita dahil lamang iba sila ng pananaw.”
“Yan ba yung pinagmamalaki ninyong pagbabago?” she added.
In the end, Aiza asked everyone to be united as a nation, despite the differences in “opinion, relihiyon, ideology at paniniwala.”
“Digong needs our help. We all want our COUNTRY to succeed. If we want CHANGE; WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER,” she concluded.
