I recently read a creative blog (link posted by a friend) of "Satan" writing a letter to Willie Revillame.

I couldn't help but commenting:
"I agree specifically with user Khantotantra2.
Guys, this is a creative post. Doc Albert is entitled to express his opinion in a creative way as much as willie supporters are entitled to express their opinios by crying on TV to show support for their man. Kung tutuusin, may karapatan din silang magpost ng opinion dito pro sana walang personalan, wag na nila dirain [sic] ang pgkatao ng blogger dhil hindi nmn nya sinisira ang pgkatao nyo.
On the other hand, agree dn ako na nging OA ang reaction kay Janjan. Akala kc umiyak dhil napahiya. Hindi nmn. Umiyak cya dhil ntakot kay Mr. Balingit. Kng kalaswaan at moralidad ang pguusapan, mas mdami pang mas grabe na ginawa sa ibang shows. Pro wla nmn issue db?
Ang hindi lng tlga maganda kay willie is how he handles criticisms. Namemersonal eh. Ayan tuloy, nahahawa na ata ang ibang supporters nya, pati creative blog, pinepersonal. Hehe.
In the end, knya knya tyong opinion. Kung walang pumipigil sa inyo sumuporta kay Willie, wag nyo din sana personalin ung mga taong ayaw sa knya. Lawakan ang pang-unawa. "
As a writer with poetic license, I credit this guy for having good metaphorical skills. Altho i don't necessarily agree with some of his points, (e.g. that Willie would have wanted that Ultra Stampede to happen) I admire the blogger's grit in saying what he wants to say and receiving numerous bashings from Willie supporters for it.
I am neither a Willie hater nor a supporter. Sometimes I find him funny. Sometimes offensive. I recognize his desire to help the poor. But I also recognize how he, whether unwittingly or on purpose, manage to use his charisma for the masses as LICENSE to be arrogant and to defy authority.
His formula is using the "I'm-doing-this-for-the-masses…" ingredient. Example, something like: "Ginagawa ko itong lhat ng ito para sa masa. Para makatulong. Grabe ang pghihirap ko pra dito. Wala akong ibang hangad kundi tumulong..." (So far, this is true naman. But here comes the twist--) "Tapos pra sa isang maliit na bagay bbatikusin nyo ako? Sa dinami- damikong tinulungan, palalakihin nyo ang isang bagay? Gusto nyo bang matigil ang pgbbigay nmin ng saya sa mga kapwa? Eto n nga lng ang inaasahan nla eh, ngttyaga pumila sa labas pra sumaya mn lng at mbigyan ng pag-asa. Tapos dhil sa pmbbatikos nyo matitigil p ito?"
See? Though this is not verbatim, I want to point out his reasoning, how he manages to use the masses as a way of saying his detractors are the bad guys for criticizing his OWN wrongdoings. Or as a license for getting away with arrogance. That's what i don't like about him.
I hope the desire he has as he continues to help the poor is as much as his desire in banishing arrogance and tactlessness in his words and actions.
