I've noticed that the majority of BBM-Sara tandem supporters had voted based on emotion, while subconsciously ignoring key facts and details that might contradict their impulses. Some of them are victims of disinformation or brainwashed, and some of them choose to be blinded.

Social media has become the primary source of information for most of the masses due to its easy access, and sometimes it can be time-consuming for them to do research rather than reading/watching what's posted online.

Due to the limitations of fact-checking, no matter how strong the evidence is or how it is presented, fact-checking or doing research will only be effective if their brain is open to receiving new information. Otherwise, their thinking is hijacked and captivated by confirmation biases.

Some vloggers, commentators, and/or critics, who are partisan to Marcoses, took advantage of spreading disinformation about their opponent, their infamous "Golden Era" narrative, and so on across the internet to deceive netizens.

Over the last two decades, disinformation, myths, and conspiracy theories have helped to romanticize the Marcos name, causing citizens to want to experience his presidency and think it would be great if they vote for him without thinking their vote will affect all of us, especially those who are marginalized.

Our country's fate is in our hands. If we want to make progress, we can't rely just on candidates. It is our responsibility to elect the right and qualified candidate. We deserve more than an inconsistent and weak leader and temporary solutions.

Different countries have colonized us, and we were previously ruled by a ruthless dictator. We fight for freedom and democracy all the time and those sacrifices are not meant to be wasted. Let us look for candidates who are interested in the progress of our country rather than its personal gain.
