Opinion columnist Lolito Go was surprised to see supporters of presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos attack him after he claimed to have turned down an offer from the political opponents of Vice President Leni Robredo.
In a Facebook post, Go said he was promised a handsome amount if he’d withdraw his support for Robredo and work for the opposition.
But he eventually resisted and chose to save his dignity.
“Inaamin ko, the offer was irresistible. Lalo na siguro kapag nilapag na sa akin ang pera. Pero hindi ko pala talaga kayang i-prostitute ang kaluluwa ko.” he wrote.
“But I trust my instincts, I trust that the universe will give me what I deserve if I consistently and persistently fight for what is true and what is right against all odds,” he added.
Following his post, Go claimed supporters of Marcos went after him relentlessly despite never mentioning what party offered him a job.
“Wala namang nabanggit na name pero inassume nila na kandidato nila yung tinutukoy. Sila lang ang may dirty money na pambili ng tao? Parang inamin na rin nila na sa kampo talaga nila yung mga namimirata.
“Kitang kita sa comment section ng post na iyon ang quality ng mga supporter ni BBM. Reflection din ito ng karakter ng mga pinapanginoon nila.”
The NUJP member used to be pro-Duterte but shifted to Robredo. Here he shares a Christmas carol dedicated to Robredo and vice presidential candidate Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.
Despite facing several disqualification cases based on his past conviction, Marcos is still favored to win the presidency.
