who's nicko?

vanjhnn: nicko falcis daw yung name. Di ko kilala. People operating in the dirty digital marketing/political world ng PH.

Can you TL;DR? I'm legit confused

Based on what I read sa blog ni PAB, this Nicko recently published screenshots maligning her, inclusion supposedly asking for money (credit/debit card), parang ganun.

I read PAB's post.

I'm... backing off now because... jesus christ wtf

markku: is this related to that news circulating that Kris Aquino inc is funding her?

But according to PAB's post, lumapit yan sa kanya before, offering to promote her posts via FB, etc, including paying for the FB boost. Tinanggap nya offer, thinking it was just another anti-DDS who supports her.

Suddenly, bina-baliktad na sya ngayon.

I mean backing away from the issue because this mudslinging is fucking disgusting and shouldn't distract us from Chacha and TRAIN

vanjhnn: i think so. Di din ako familiar eh, all I know is based on the PAB tweet & blog post.

(For the record I've always found the Falcises kinda iffy)

AdeMagnaye: yeah I agree distraction to sa ngayon, mas masakit ang short and long-term effect ng chacha and train.

Also, di ko kilala at all yang mga Falcis, haven't heard or read about them before. Prominent ba sila?

Jesus Falcis is the more prominent one, he's made a name for himself as an ati-admin blogger because his language is trying to attract the masa crowd

But I feel like the way he writes stuff is veeeery reductive

And he also presented an argument for gay marriage in the supreme court which he handled terribly and might have set back the movement a few years

His brother, though, I've only heard of him after the Kris Aquino issue

Ah okay. Ang mahirap ngayon, anti-admin people want change but not everyone has the same moral limits on how to approach it; some might end up committing the mistakes of the DDS.

markku: TBF, we've seen that in the lead up to the 2010 election, with the more... vigilant/extreme yellows using an early version of the strategy the DDS used.

And yes, right now I don't see a side with an actual moral high ground because both sides are willing to play dirty just to get their way. Ugh.

Well, at least we can say that the anti-DDS side doesn't want to kill thousands of people just to get the gallery clapping. Or impression ko lang ba yun? Hehe

markku: That's a big distinction, and yes, that's true

Apir!

Actually. Samedt. Question is why are they discrediting PAB? Parang ang labo lang.

Targrod: kaya nga. As if naman may DDS na nagbabasa pa kay PAB at naniniwala.
