“DDS are paid liars and abusers of the Philippines”
Analysis and Opinion
By Joe America
It seems to me that Filipinos need to grasp why the Philippines struggles to provide jobs and wealth or else the 2028 presidential election will be one more step in the enduring failure.
Filipinos vote their feelings, not knowledge, and their feelings are hugely shaped by DDS propagandists.
Lets start by defining terms.
- DDS is the propaganda initiative of the Duterte dynasty (and China) that deploys paid influencers to swarm social media to dispense messages that damage law, order, Filipinos, and candidates who are for law, order, and Filipinos.
- Paid means the top layer of influencers are not acting for the Philippines, earnestly and in good faith, but for money. Without money, this damaging propaganda effort would not exist.
- Liars means these influencers publish untruths, intentionally smearing and damaging good people, good intentions, and good works. Think Leila de Lima.
- Abusers means they intentionally hurt people to make them less effective in opposing the Duterte dynasty (and China who backs them). They hurt progress, good work, and innocent Filipinos.
- Philippines means Filipinos and the Constitutional framework that SHOULD allow the nation to prosper.
DDS is effective. Their network is powerful. But they are vultures preying on the poor, the weak, the ignorant, and the gullible. They have no conscience, no patriotism, no sense of decency. They are high on the power that is given them by the Duterte (China) cabal, and the money they can make.
We have discussed here that a good-governance presidential candidate in 2028 needs to speak simply and powerfully in terms that the laboring and poor masses understand. “We will give you better jobs and a better life.”
I’d suggest that an attack on DDS is equally important to undermine this powerful paid propaganda effort..
“DDS betray your love of the Philippines”
“DDS are paid to destroy YOUR future.”
Something like that.

Oh yes they are.
Tragic but true. Propaganda is centuries-old but now it’s on steroids, no thanks to social media.
Exactly right TTT, humans figured out how to use the internet badly.
mega tech companies are much to blame for all the smut, hatred, extremism, etc, in the internet. they allow such algotech to happen, have weaker polices and as long as very bad actors pay bigger then spend biggest on what constitute their poisonous freedom of speech, they are free and welcome to ply their sick trades and tirade in cyberspace, unrestrained.
That’s true, they have not been able to define limits on speech for their outlets because they get revenue from conflicts. They are not public. They can set limits. We know they know how because X stifles anti-Musk commentary.
dds pin up daughter really must have prime monopoly on headlines, sara is constantly a news hugger, probly paid big for the privilege too. a darling to journalists on retainer, haha.
first, it was reported her father has deteriorating mental cognity and may not be fit to stand trial, since that did not dampen ICC’s ardor, sara reported anew that her father has lost consciousness and was hospitalised. further report has sara saying ICC cannot ensure her father’s safety. maybe from a mole! such as herself, always running (unverified?) commentaries to feed the media, haha.
methink, since nobody cares what I think, methink the old man has hypotension, you know, when old people stands up quickly ay biglang nahihilo kaagad, dahil blood cannot come quickly enough to reach the brain, depriving the brain of oxygen, and that make old people feel dizzy and sometimes fainting. they stay on the floor, thinking what the hell just happened, and since they lay horizontal on the floor, blood managed to reach the brain and perfused it, and bingo! they are conscious again, fainting gone. methink again, since no one cares what I think, methink yet again, this sort of hypotension is highly treatable if old people does not stand up quickly, but slowly and allow time for the blood to reach the brain, so brain would not be starved of oxygen, and fainting can be avoided.
The Dutertes are very good at populism. Well, they peddle lies and smears and people love it. That’s why DDS need to be called out as having destructive values. You can’t build a great nation on lies.
yeah, they are as popular as dengue! as wanted as leptospirosis, and as loved as boil to be lanced.
majority of senate bloc voted to have old man duterte be put on house arrest at the hauge citing old age and humanitarian ground.
citing humanitarian ground, I too, said duterte should stand trial to give justice to the victims of his drug war who were firstly denied humanitarian ground. duterte should not be awarded the ease and luxury of house arrest when the families of the victims are suffering for the loss of their loved ones, and suffering still being made to wait long for the trial.
duterte is lucky, in nederland, there is a medi-alert pendant worn like a necklace and commonly worn by old people, to be pressed anytime they fell unwell, and medical help will come almost instantaneously. to activate, medi alert pendant only needs subscription to register, and since duterte has no money problems, he can be registered many times over.
Yes, all the noise coming from Sara Duterte and DDS is simple failure to accept accountability, revealing the blustering lies of the old man who said, during the slaughter, that he would accept that accountability.
I can’t believe that people believe that most Opposition senatorial candidates lost because of Duterte’s arrest and people continue to sympathise and Sara know just what to do.
It is astounding what people believe as they hang out in their bubbles and not let sense enter. I think of Cebu as a fairly modern, upbeat city but its residents like the Dutertes. I shake my head.
cebuanos will wake up soon enough, they’ve awakened gwen and they’d burst out from their bubble too. it cannot be healthy being cooped up with the cognitively impaired dutertes.
I hope so.
The latest shenanigans are coup attempts warning by Bato.
Chiz vs Martin vs Romualdez
Escudero is such a disappointment.
Yes,grrrr
watching escudero impassioned speech, I did applaud maybe out of sadness at how low he had become, brought down by all that glitters. had a spectacular fall he did, worst than humpty dumpty. and like humpty dumpty escudero cannot be put together again. basag na talaga.
this time, hindi nanghamon ng suntokan sa labas si bato, nagbabala instead ng coup attempt, funny that. gibo teodoro our national defense sec sabi there is no coup in the offing, palagay ko maliban lang yong a coup of one ni bato, siya ang bibida, haha.
I attended a maritime league forum and the defense and maritime spokesmen all warned of disinformation not only from the Chinese but fellow Filipinos.
yeah, we are so great at organising coup, we dont know how and where to start, truly. hoping that someone would step up and take charge, well soldier kanin is gone, no longer interested in any coup. coup mongerer bato is unfit and can only ride a motorbike, I am betting he cannot even shoot straight. and we so ran out of kanin soldiers, kaya hanggang misinformation na lang tayo. gossips pa more! men more than women! coup excites them more than big lotto win. hankering for the greater action, the buzz and the excitement that was edsa. but edsa is gone, its heroine is long dead and burried. its memory committed to history.
young ones are more interested in tiktok, instagram and you tubes. no one wants to be soldier kanin anymore, and be ridiculed forever. the old ones and semi old ones are riddle with health problems, family problems, societal problems, housing problem, money problems, there is never enough money! will coup solve all their problems, not likely! coup will only create more problems and widen the chasm.
different story if gen torre is brought back. he has potential to lead.
