DLSU history professor calls Hontiveros 'trapo': “Bangag na yata talaga"

“What is Hontiveros smoking? Must be pretty strong stuff?” This was the reaction of a historian who happened to watch Hontiveros’ video interview regarding the rebellion and invasion in Mindanao.

History expert Van Ybiernas stated that Daniel Razon’s questions, the man who hosted Hontiveros’ interview, were good one to tackle but it seems that Hontiveros is a little bit disoriented. “Marawi was occupied by a group hoisting the ISIS flag. At ayaw nya i-consider na rebellion o invasion ito?,” Ybiernas stated.



“Ang hirap kung posisyon mo sa mundo ng pulitika ang inuuna at hindi ang reyalidad mismo o paghinuha dito batay sa inter-subjectivity,ang nagiging basehan mo sa iyong mga pinagsasabi,” Ybiernas added. He also said that it is the problem with the senator, being so much preoccupied with ‘party-political’ ideals and her controversial judgement on the situation in Marawi.

Ybiernas also said that even before Hontiveros was not yet elected, he observed that she has been subjecting herself to shameless self-promotion, to get everybody’s trust and attention. But then she gained the confidence of the public when she began to be the fearless critic of Arroyo’s Administration, and because of that she won the 2016 elections.

But Ybiernas was not swayed by Hontiveros’ act, stating this, “Kaya lang malinaw na malinaw sa akin noong administrasyong Aquino na trapo ito sapagkat nanatili siyang tahimik at hindi nagsasalita laban sa mga kabulastugang ginawa ni Noynoy.”

Ybiernas pointed out that when 2022 senatorial elections will come, and that, we should not forget what Hontiveros did and said.

Ang hirap kung posisyon mo sa mundo ng pulitika ang inuuna at hindi ang reyalidad mismo o paghinuha dito batay sa inter-subjectivity,ang nagiging basehan mo sa iyong mga pinagsasabi. Yan ang problema ni Risa Hontiveros at ang kanyang kontrobersyal na pagtataya sa mga kaganapan sa Marawi.

Matagal ko nang alam na ganyan si Hontiveros, batay sa obserbasyon ko sa kanya at pang-eepal nya maski noong hindi pa siya senadora, kaya't hindi na ako nagulat. Pero, marami ang nalamuyot sa kanyang matatapang na pahayag noon laban sa pamahalaang GMA, kaya't pinagtiwalaan nila ito ng kanilang boto nitong 2016. Kaya lang malinaw na malinaw sa akin noong administrasyong Aquino na trapo ito sapagkat nanatili siyang tahimik at hindi nagsasalita laban sa mga kabulastugang ginawa ni Noynoy.

Ngayon lang nagkabukingan para sa nakararami.

Pero, ako, ni minsan ay hindi ko pa binoto yang si Hontiveros sapagkat malakas ang kutob ko diyan sa simula pa lang, na napatunayan na tama ngayon at sa marami pang ibang beses.

Hindi pa huli ang lahat. Huwag lang kalimutan ang ginawa nyan ngayon sa eleksyon ng 2022.

Here's other Facebook post of Prof. Van Ybiernas criticizing Sen. Hontiveros: 

 I just watched this and all I can say is, "wow!" What is Hontiveros smoking? Must be pretty strong stuff?

Maganda yung mga tanong ni Daniel Razon. Sakto. Pero, bangag yata talaga si Hontiveros.

Marawi was occupied by a group hoisting the ISIS flag. At ayaw nya i-consider na rebellion o invasion ito?


Risa, I need to know who supplies you, dude. You're getting some high grade stuff out there. You need to spot me some.
