She then asked people if there are any qualifications for anyone to have the right to comment on matters affecting the country.
“Bakit kung kelan Pandemya na lahat tayo ay apektado saka ang iba ay pilit na pinatatahimik?” she wrote.
May qualification ba dapat bago ka magkaron ng karapatan na magkomento sa mga isyung panlipunan?
Hindi ba sapat na mamayan ka ng Pilipinas at nagbabayad ka ng buwis?
