Fake accounts, real damage. The pro-Duterte noise machine isn’t grassroots — it’s a ghost army. AI now confirms what many suspected: a deliberate network of bots flooding social media to rewrite the narrative, paint Duterte as the victim, and manipulate midterm election discourse.

He saw a nation rich in talent, cursed by a culture that forgives failure and rewards corruption. While Singapore enforced discipline, the Philippines let clowns and crooks recycle power. We were ahead of South Korea once. Now we export our best people and re-elect our worst. His warning wasn’t prophecy. It was common sense. We just refused to listen.
