Furthermore, Tingog Partylist Representative Jude Acidre said that Filipinos are “obviously fed up” and “tired of the same old Duterte-style politics,” which he described as “a culture of impunity, bullying tactics, and decisions that prioritize power over public service.”

“Either we stand by the wayside and allow this type of politics to continue, or we take a firm stand to hold the Dutertes accountable. The choice is ours—our silence enables impunity, but our courage can spark change,” Acidre said in a separate statement.

“This isn’t just about one person or one family. It’s about a shift in our collective consciousness as a nation. Filipinos want leaders who will govern with integrity, compassion, and a clear vision for the future—not leaders who thrive on impunity and entitlement,” he added.
