- Anyare sa successful foreign trips ni @bongbongmarcos ??? Takot mga foreign investors na marcosin din investments nila? Sabagay di nga nagbabayad ng tax e. Paano maeengganyo mga investors na walang corruption o seryoso govt va corruption sa bansa at gagana ang kanilang investment
- Whathappened to the "successful foreign trips" of @bongbongmarcos ??? [Are] foreign investors afraid that their investments would be Marcos-ed (stolen)? To be fair, [he] does not even pay taxes, you see. How would the investors would be enticed that there is no corruption and the government is serious towards corruption in the country and their investment would work?

- Eh kasi Marcos ang naka upo, kaya ang quality ng government insufficient, inferior and unacceptable. Gagastos ng millions, pero ang output, of inferior quality. Ang pondo minamarcos, pati ba ginamit na materials, minamarcos pa rin? Playing follow-the-leader ang mga kawatan.
- Well it's because the one sitting is a Marcos, so the quality of the government is insufficient, inferior and unacceptable. Millions would be spent, but the output, of inferior quality. The funds were being Marcos-ed (stolen), are the materials used as well still being Marcos-ed (stolen)? The thieves are playing follow-the-leader.
