The very end of Antonio Trillanes IV's term has made Leni Loud Robredo less of a vice president and more of the opposition leader. Even if Leni Loud wins the recount fair and square but it doesn't change the fact that some of her own voters voted against her. Both Leni Loud and Trillanes end up probably worse than Australia's Bill Shorten or possibly Trillanes' best friend in Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim. Ibrahim in Malaysia was an ambitious twat like Trillanes. Ibrahim was formerly a deputy prime minister in Malaysia. True, the opposition is needed for a healthy government but the problem is that the current Philippine opposition is DEFECTIVE because the system is defective.
Trillanes is silent for now but time will come that he will become silent no more again. Trillanes' contract with Talk N Text has ended but a new model is on the way. Who is the new model? It would be Leni Loud. Leni Loud has effectively become the new model of Talk N Text after Trillanes' term ended. Trillanes was always talking bogus against certain people and not just President Rodrigo R. Duterte. Now, it's Leni Loud's turn to try and become the next Ibrahim since she's currently the Vice President. You can see the Vice President herself is now talking about the drug war but she hasn't really given alternatives. She has even rejected the offer as drug czar which may show she's either unqualified or she has no solutions. She could turn down the offer but give solutions in some way. Where are the solutions?
What's the real problem with the current Philippine "opposition"? I don't have a problem with criticizing President Duterte. In fact, it's the job of the opposition. The problem with the current "opposition" is that they fail at giving alternatives and presenting their cases. Neither Leni Loud nor Trillanes has truly presented their case. They are only talking and talking with very little substance. Worse, the opposition in the Philippines is just as scattered as the majority. Why is the vice president even from the opposition? Where's the formalization of a real, formal opposition? None. That even contributes further to why both Leni Loud and Trillanes are the worst opposition leaders in Philippine history.
