The use of "patriotic" is incorrect because the gathering specifically supports the Duterte family, not the broader nation of the Philippines, and is tied to a controversial figure facing ICC charges for alleged crimes against humanity during his drug war campaign.
Supporting a political figure, especially one accused of human rights violations, does not align with the traditional definition of patriotism, which prioritizes the country’s well-being over individual leaders.
Patriotism typically refers to love and devotion to one’s country, often involving actions that promote national unity, welfare, or independence.
