The Spin

Narrative A

Sara Duterte’s assassination threat reflects a troubling pattern of defiance and disregard for the rule of law. From refusing accountability in government inquiries to mishandling public funds, her actions undermine transparency, destabilize governance, and erode trust in democratic leadership. Her history of misconduct raises serious concerns about her future in public service.

Narrative B

While the previous Duterte regime has been rightfully criticized, the Marcos family's reclaimed power, fueled by historical revisionism, should not be seen as a path toward democracy and freedom. By whitewashing martial law and exploiting nostalgia, they erode democratic values, potentially leaving the nation more vulnerable to repression than before.
