Ellen Adarna reminds 'real boss' of politicians, slams entitled 'public servants'
MANILA, Philippines — Actress Ellen Adarna reminded the public that politicians are not above them; it’s the other way around as they are the ones who pay the politicians’ salaries and benefits.
The currently inactive Cebuana actress left no crumbs as she slammed entitled politicians in her Instagram story earlier today.
"Just speaking from experience rani guys ha. Some are okay—grounded and respectful... But some are just UGH, barf!" she started her Instagram story.
She immediately stressed the role of the public servants, which includes politicians who are currently awaiting news of their election bids.
"We're the ones paying for public servants—their salaries, their offices, their benefits. All of it comes from taxpayers. We're basically feeding them three meals a day, with snacks and coffee breaks in between,” Ellen said.
The outspoken actress echoed a sentiment that many people have expressed on social media.
“But when we deal with them? It's like we have to tiptoe, smile nice, and act like we owe them. Like they're royalty... in a country that's already a mess. [clown emoji] Uh, no."
"Shouldn't it be the other way around? They're supposed to work for us. Let's not forget who’s actually keeping the lights on here," Ellen stressed.
The actress reminded the public that they have a right to assert service from politicians they pay to do their jobs.
"So, madlang people, don't ever let anyone make you feel like public servants are above you. Because if they do? That means they're more into maintaining power than actually serving the people."
"And when they forget who's boss? Remind them. So... uhm... kinsa diay imong bossing?! [Who is your boss?] she said.
The canvassing of votes for the 2025 midterm elections is underway and is expected to end today.
