Politicians have crab mentality?

- The Ear -

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION. In a coffeeshop, political conversations abound. A group of young professionals, in their 20’s were heard discussing about their choices for president and for local government positions. They lament that Philippine politics is so dirty, that candidates have to resort to character assassination. A café habitue commented, “Why do they have to destroy each other? Why can’t they just present their programs and platform and let the people decide?”

CRAB MENTALITY. His friend said, “It’s crab mentality. Kahibalo na ka sa typical Pinoy, they have to pull other people down para sila mo-angat. That’s the same with politicians. They throw mud sa ilang rivals, hoping na kung hugaw na ilang kontra, they will appear clean.”
