Ramon Money Talks Bautista

 

Don’t even think for a second that you can fool anybody into buying your “support” for Roxas is anywhere near solemn. I recall that just recently you were making a laughing stock out of Roxas, and then all of a sudden, you had a change of heart and are now campaigning for him. Quite the impressive transition, don’t you think?

As a fan, I am quite disappointed to see you transform from a revered character into one no longer worthy of anybody’s trust. From famous to notorious. From a person who seemed to have principles to a person unquestioningly without. Do you know why? Because you are a classic example of a sellout and nobody likes a sellout.

I have been in deep solidarity with what you stood for- humor under the guise of a narrative that at times poked fun at the shamelessly lewd Philippine politics. I’ll even advise against grabbing a placard and picketing any time of the day in favor of your method. After all, it’s a new age and we all need to be intellectual and shit. But you are done being an intellectual. It has run its course, and now, you are just what’s left— shit.

Ramon, even as a celebrity, I hardly even think that anybody from your followership (who didn’t already) would be suaded to enlist their support for Roxas. Unfortunately, his public relations just wasted their money on you— but I could be wrong! It may be a demonstration that Roxas has the appeal to suade even his detractors. Because eventually money talks; more so for the likes of you, Ramon.

Okay, maybe ridiculing someone does not ultimately mean disapproval. Maybe you were just having good ol’ fun and, of course, it’s only funny when you’re not the one being laughed at, right? Exactly the reason why you are now crying foul and calling the jeering folk, judgmental. As if that would make your actions pertaining to the matter any less vulnerable to scrutiny.

Ramon, the popularity you have right now- you don’t deserve it. I hope people see less of you or worse, make an example out of you. But still, I sincerely hope that you make it through all of this negativity and hate with a lesson learned. Your feelings may be scathed and your integrity (if you still have any left) and reputation- tarnished, but in the end, all of it is supposed to make you stronger.
