Past Meets Present

Real eyes realize real lies— a famous quotation that is comparable to the society of politics where guns and money are the ones that orbit through the hands of those who were in the upper positions.

We thought that the drug war was already deadlocked after Rodrigo Duterte had finally dethroned from being the President of the Philippines. Recently, Col. Royina Garma claimed about the ‘reward-system’ of Duterte as it implies that every kill of a person with drug cases has an exchange of price money. After this statement, Bong Go and  Bato dela Rosa denied the claims as soon as possible; as fast as lightning.

Hence, real eyes will always realize the REAL LIES, the innocent souls that were unreasonably shot to death because of wrong accusations. Stated by the human rights group, there are approximately 12,000 or more cases of war on drugs that led to loss of life. However, barely of these are real criminals because almost all of them were unaware people who were victims of the so-called ‘reward-system.’ In exchange for a million peso, there would be a lot of bullets of guns and blood to shed.

Never not forget about the ‘Oplan-tokhang’ that ran wild almost a decade ago, 2016, where many families of teenagers and poor citizens were loudly crying, begging for the justice that they want to aim for yet the government shut the doors. Leaving them behind up until now, the past knocks to the present and they deny it intensely.

They count the money and not the lives they killed mercilessly.

Bong-go, Dela rosa and Duterte, the best bloodies (buddies) of the century. Of course, they will deny it, who else would get your back? — your supportive friends. We know it, we will realize it is a real lie even if they deny it because there are real eyes that witnessed the lack of justice in the system of war on drugs.
