In politics, criticism creates a good output only when it comes from independent watchdogs, an active civil society, and the public holding leaders accountable. When criticism is used purely as a weapon between rival political factions, it results in political instability rather than better governance.

I don't mind who the leader is, as long as there is real good governance and fair policies - not just sweet-coated speeches, but actual good deeds.

Please note that I am from Northern Mindanao. For generations, numerous Presidents came and went, yet Mindanao was always left behind. When Duterte - who is actually from Mindanao - became President, people expected him to favor his home region. But did he deprioritize Mindanao? The answer is no. He simply practiced fair policy. Even with more support sent to the south, Luzon still remains far more developed than Mindanao. What might look like a small development to outsiders was a massive, historic milestone for us.
"... and the public holding leaders accountable," is calling out the Dutertes for the crimes they did not fit for this statement? Thank you for confirming that criticism is good.

My points were never about this candidate is better than the Dutertes, but you've always pointed out that you trust them, and even said before that Sara is pure, isn't that weaponizing their so-called greatness, without otherwise calling out their nad deeds?

And as for Mindanao, yes, it's fair to assume that the South has been given less attention, but has it ever crossed your mind that the government isn't the only thing that's making Luzon and parts of Visayas as advanced as it is now? Luzon has tourists spots, Baguio City, Tagaytay, and Vigan City to name a few. Alongside this, it also contains NCR and CALABARZON, both attracting to investors. Proximity wise, Luzon and Visayas are closer to more foreign countries that we trade with than Mindanao. It's true that we should support equity in development, but there are things that we can't control, especially when considering economic factors.

Mindanao has great potential, especially on the agricultural sector, but the fact that it's hard to reach contributes to the lack of support it receives. The government can provide support for Mindanao, and they should put more support for its development, but it's also illogical to assume that it's deprioritized just because it's given less attention. Luzon remains to be much more developed because of various factors, even those dating back to hundreds of years ago. Mindanao has potential, it's the second largest. But if we look at the output, let's use as an example, CALABARZON, a region in Luzon 6 times smaller than Mindanao, produces just about 3% less GDP-wise than the entirety of Mindanao.

A good output only when it comes from independent watchdogs, an active civil society, and the public holding leaders accountable.
But you have your own one-sided political agenda; therefore, your criticism is not helpful for making a fair choice.

How do you justify it being one-sided, if I may ask? Because I don't discuss other politicians in a discussion about Duterte? If I say that the abuses during the Marcos dictatorship was bad, would you also consider that as an unhelpful critique?

Edit
Again, the info and insight I share here are informative in nature. I'm not telling you to not vote Duterte, just revealing their wrongdoings and responding to assessments that do not add up.

Do you really believe that criticizing only one faction, sharing informative in nature as you call it, simply out of an anti-DDS bias, isn't inherently one-sided?

Of course not, but the only reason why you only see Duterte related criticism is because THIS THREAD IS ABOUT DUTERTE. I've brought up various politicians here that isn't a Duterte, hell I've even brought Hilt3r up at one point, but they trace back to Duterte. Why? Because this discussion IS ABOUT DUTERTE. If you want my side regarding the Marcoses, then open a Marcos discussion. It's that simple, and I've repeated this many times. You just refuse to listen.

Okay, if you are not sided claiming to be that way then, start or open your next target/thread for criticizing other than Duterte Team. There are already 3 threads related to Duterte Team by Meawii with you.
It's not my thing to tell whom.

So, anong say mo nanaman. Pag wala ka na masabi. Ganun nalang. Naiintindihan mo ba ang sinasabi ko?

Oof, you didn't read my reply at all. You claim the same impartiality as I am claiming, aren't you? On the very last part of my response, I told you to open a Marcos discussion, why can't it be you to do that if you claim that you also view both sides? But you know what, I'll entertain you once. Wait for my post, I guess.

It's not my thing to criticize like yours. Simple as that. It's noted your statement and I can wait even for nothing.

But what you've been doing is also criticism. Calling out actions you see as wrong, calling people trolls, that's also criticism. You mean to tell me you have the grit to criticize people against your perspective but not the politicians leading the nation?

When criticism became one-sided then it became Troll. If you are not Troll then what for to argue?

You still haven't proven that you are not biased.

Posted an initial thread now, will finish it tomorrow. Now, how about you participate there and share your thoughts against the Marcos as well? You call me out for not proving I'm not biased, but you haven't proven anything about you being unbiased towards6the Dutertes as well. I'll repeat it again, it looks one sided because this thread is literally just about the Dutertes

Nakakatawa eh noh? kino-call out nya tayo bilang biased kasi si Duterte lang daw kini-criticize natin, pero bias din naman sya sa pagiging Duterte nya lmao.

And it's honestly amusing that he refuses to post criticism against anti-Duterte politicians, but would name call any individual who's anti-Duterte. Ilang beses ko nang sinabi na huwag maghahanap ng criticism towards people unrelated sa isang diskusyon na malinaw na para sa mga Duterte, but that has remained to be their main issue for weeks. Parang naghahanap ng M&M sa pack ng skittles, tapos magrereklamo kung wala. :w

True, habang nakikipag usap ka sakanya promise parang walang isa sa sinabi mo yung na gets nya. About Duterte nga naman din yung discussions sa thread na to, then kapag kinriticize mo si Duterte bu.tt hurt na bu.tt hurt sya okay lang ba sya? hahahaha
 
I watched this thread at gusto ko sana mag reply sa mga sagot ni KingSemreh pero shoot sa banga lahat ng mga sagot mno sa kanya musicacc727

One thing lang talaga na nakikita ko sa mga panatiko that stands out is hindi kaya nilang i-call out ang kanilang idol politicitian once na may mali siyang nagawa or hindi tama, as if they easily like to give their consent even if it is wrong as long as it is in their favor.

Meawii, he is the same as the other typical DDS that we encountered before.

Isn't it enough that multiple threads focus purely on criticizing the Duterte Team to prove your biased criticism? Why ask me to share my thoughts against Marcos? That is your thing, not mine.
