Lea Salonga is not a Marcos Apologist, DDS, Dilwan, elitist, insensitive, privileged.

A thread.
Exhibit 3
Lea wondering why there are claims that Bongbong Marcos was winning over Leni Robredo for the vice presidency in the 2016 election (votes from overseas) Discussing that maybe, some BBM voters haven't lived in the Martial Law era. Also looking at the voters' reasons.
Exhibit 5
Lea Salonga publicly supported Leni Robredo against her vice presidency rivals, Bong Bong Marcos, Alan Peter Cayetano, etc. She also openly supported Leni during last year's recount through her FB account (can't find the screenshot)
Exhibit 6:
Miriam Defensor-Santiago is Lea Salonga's president. In case you are also calling her a DDS. She's not affiliated with Duterte. Haven't met him until she was asked to sing fin the palace ( Just like singing for the 6 former presidents if the Philippines)
Exhibit 7:
"Lea Salonga is privileged"
RE: NETFLIX statement.
Read her while take about that.
She's not talking about the public service workers or the poor.
She's talking about the people like her, who complained about the travel and stay-at-home protocols.
Exhibit 8:
RE: Netflix and privileges
"To those of you asking to check my privilege, I hear you" (Salonga, 2020)
Exhibit 9
Lea Salonga being privileged, elitist, and out of a touch of reality.
Let's not be hypocrites. If she's updating her friends about her Netflix playlist, aren't most of us doing the same???
Exhibit 10
She wants to help. She's actually helping. She's not a frontliner so the best thing she could do is to entertain herself and stay at home, just like what we should all do.
The next best thing to do is to donate and raise over 2M pesos for frontliners and poor families
