As the Dilawans, even non-Dilawans had a field day on Twitter making their own version of Rep. Sandro Marcos’ now famous “piso is not weak” statement, social media influencer MJ Quiambao Reyes took up the cudgels on Sandro’s behalf.
Reyes offered 2 reasons why the PH peso is weak such as the PH is a net importer and the US Federal Reserve’s aggressive actions versus inflation.
Reyes lamented that some people would rather mock Sandro Marcos and the administration instead of trying to understand the situation and what they can do to help the country.
Reyes said these are the same “unselfless” people, if they have the means, would rather buy dollars and invest in the US instead of investing their money in the country to help the local economy. In other words, bunches of hypocrites.
Reyes said she is fine if people criticize Sandro Marcos for the staged photo ops in Singapore but not on his recent statement: re peso versus the dollar. She clarified she is not defending Sandro but to expose the ignorance, hypocrisy, and ‘unselflessness’ of some people.
You may now read MJ Reyes’ original FB post below.
The peso is weak:
1) Because we import more and export less
2) Because of US Federal Reserve’s aggressive actions against inflation which made US $ stronger – consequently devaluing peso and other currencies.
3) Because some people would rather laugh at Sandro and bash him and this admin than try to better understand the situation and do what they can to help our country. The same “unselfless” people who, if they have the means, would rather buy more dollars and invest in US and spend their money abroad than help strengthen our peso or help boost our economy. Tsk!
P.S.
People can fairly criticize Sandro for his ‘staged’ photo ops sa SG and other matters, but not on his recent statement re: peso & dollar. I’m not here to defend him (as he does not need one naman). This is just to expose the ignorance, hypocrisy, and ‘unselflessness’ of some people.
Reaction?
