Aiko Melendez called out political oppositions after a video of her tarpaulin getting taken down was shared by a netizen.
According to the one who uploaded the video, the act “Happened at Franville 3 Brgy Kaligayahan. Happened between 11:30 pm.”
Melendez had to make sure that the footage was authentic before social media to air her frustration.
“Paano tayo magiging mabuting leader ng QC kung nagbibigay tayo ng masamang ehemplo sa mga tao po.” she said.
Melendez doesn’t even have that many tarpaulins to promote her campaign.
“Hindi ‘yung kakaunti na nga lang po ang tarpulins ko binabaklas n’yo pa po. Dahil ba kayo ang naka upo? Dahil kayo ang makapangyarihan sa Barangay Kaligayahan? Dahil kayo ang asa administrasyon? Sana naman po lumaban po tayo ng patas po.
“Nakuhaan po namen ng video ang L300 na nagbabaklas utos daw ng kinauukulan. Sana lumaban po tayo ng patas. Kasi kandidato naman tayo pare-parehas na gustong maglingkod at magpakita ng magandang ehemplo sa Quezon City.” she added.
She called for fairness as she, too, wanted to serve the public.
“Sa mga ka-distrito ko na inuutusan ng mga me kapangyarihan sa posisyon para magtanggal ng tarpulins ko, Pag mali po ang utos ‘wag sundin dahil labag po yan sa batas. Laban lang po parehas.”
Talent manager and comedian Ogie Diaz joined in on criticizing the people in power for the tasteless move.
“Juice ko! Hindi na talaga nagbago ang kampo niya no? Grabe pa din insecurity sa yo. Konsehal naman ang tatakbuhin mo, hindi naman lalabanan ang “manok” niya. Sana ‘wag namang makarma ang may kagagawan niyan. I-reveal ko na ba, Aiko Melendez?” he said.
Netizens believe that Melendez’s political opponents are threatened by her running.
The actress, earlier in October, filed her certificate of candidacy (COC) for councilor in Quezon City’s 5th district.
