Marcos crowd swarms Angel Locsin’s Martial Law Instagram post

September 22 ------ TV host Bianca Gonzalez-Intal and director Dan Villegas express their support for Locsin's #MarcosIsNotAHero post. A Marcos crowd descended upon the Instagram post of actress Angel Locsin on Tuesday, September 21, the anniversary of the 1972 declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines. Locsin posted a quote saying, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

The actress ended her post with the hashtags “#NeverAgain #NeverForget #MarcosIsNotAhero.” Two showbiz industry-mates TV host Bianca Gonzalez-Intal and director Dan Villegas (Fan Girl, Exes Baggage, English Only, Please) expressed their support for the post. Gonzalez said “#Tumindig,” referring to the social media movement started by artist Tarantadong Kalbo, protesting the current strongman rule of Duterte and the ongoing Marcos campaign to return to Malacañang.

Villegas exclaimed “Yaaaassss queen!”

A substantial amount hated their show of support. One user said, “Hahahaha Tumindig ka kasama mo mga dilawan. Jusko Bianca kausapin niyo mga lolat lolo niyo para matauhan kau. Yung hindi nabayaran ng dilawan ha.” On Villegas’ post, one user said, “[Expletive deleted]. Dapat sa inyo hinuhulog sa inidoro. Dahil salot kang [expletive removed] ka sa lipunan.” These comments reflect some of the aggressiveness of some Marcos/Duterte social media influencers.
