Is it true that calling someone an "Imelda" for owning a lot of shoes is still a moderately popular expression outside the Philippines?

Approval ratings in the philippines are pointless, they change quicker than a senators party allegiance with enough reason.Major-Tom wrote:Atheris wrote:Hopefully Duterte will be overthrown like Marcos. The guy's a loony.
He's got what, an 85% approval rating? I don't know how, but he's beloved by many.
Edit: 91%, evidently. Christ.

Apparently killing people for having a drug problem is supported in the Philippines. It's sad that a super majority of the country stands united with a mass murdering psychotic lunatic who once bragged about shooting someone in his school as a kid, but it's why when my ex girlfriend asked me to move with her to the Philippines, the answer was hell no.
There were other reasons too that were related in many ways to Dutuerte's everlasting reign.

Chill, it is a poll from Pulse Asia. Sample set is 1,000 people at most. We are a country of 200 million+ people.

Actually I would say it's more of that the lumpenproletariat support Mr. Duterte. The people who are actually marginalised and are being slaughtered can barely read, and are often intimidated by armed men during election season.

Tbh, this. Duterte usually doesn't go back on his word and that already makes him better than most other presidents who say something and do nothing. If he's tough on a position, like say, foreign affairs, his decision is probably 80% actually bad for the country. But the people don't really care, all they want is a straightforward president who does what he says he'll do.
The Filipino public is all too easy to pacify given the complacency of past presidents.

Because it would be a good idea to take a look at PH 35 years after Marcos was 86'ed in '86. The fact that you made the thread is fine, no one here will begrudge you for it; the idealism of EDSA would make for a stark contrast to today.
