Amid the worsening issues of corruption, lack of accountability, and seemingly endless flooding in the country, a brave voice has broken out, filled with anger, resentment, and frustration. Anjo Yllana , known as a comedian, artist, and television personality, could not hold back any longer and directly attacked President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (PBBM) and Senate President Tito Sotto in an emotional and heated statement. His words seemed to reflect the feelings of millions of Filipinos who are yearning for true justice and change in government.

Anger Reflects on the Society

It all started with a simple call: “I hope all corruption dies,” Yllana said, inspired by the sentiments of Miss Cara David. But in the bitter reality, none of the alleged corrupt have been punished or caught, and many have escaped accountability. For Yllana, this is clear evidence of the people’s deep anger and frustration. In her eyes, the country seems to be turning into a “corrupt country ,” where theft, corruption, and lack of accountability continue to prevail.

PBBM’s “Wash Your Hands”?

Directly and with intense sarcasm, Yllana referred to President Marcos Jr., “I salute you, you are the cleanest president in the history of the Philippines and in the world.” But this praise was laced with sharp irony. He explained that PBBM seemed to always “wash his hands” of corruption issues, not actively intervening in the looting during his administration, and was like something out of a soap commercial: clean in appearance but lacking in real action.

“Even if it’s clean all day, 99% germs are gone,” he said, a sharp statement that indicates the President’s lack of action or interest in the corruption that is happening under his leadership. He challenged PBBM to implement the principle of command responsibility , and asked how the President could possibly not know who is stealing, especially since he is the one who holds all the intelligence funds.

Strong Criticism of Senate President Tito Sotto

Senate President Tito Sotto also did not escape Yllana’s harsh criticism. He called him “so small-minded, so stupid” , and criticized the Senate leader for not being qualified for the position. According to Yllana, Sotto’s appointment was probably to cover up anomalies , including the flood control project issue and other controversies.

“The Senate, it seems, has become It Bulaga , not a serious institution for important discourses,” he said. He demanded that Sotto resign and hand over the position to a more deserving leader, like Alan Peter Cayetano, who can lead the Senate with credibility and integrity.

Call for Real Change

Anjo Yllana’s statement is not just a simple criticism; it is a strong call for change . It reflects the public’s frustration at the ongoing corruption, lack of accountability, and seemingly indifferent leadership. For him, truth and justice are more important than the formalities and “parliamentary courtesy” that some officials use to hide their shortcomings.

In his speech, he could not help but show empathy for the ordinary Filipino who struggles in daily life, and suffers while government leaders seem preoccupied with luxurious living. His anger reflects the collective feelings of the people, who have seen injustice and corruption at the highest levels of government .

The Message of the Voice of the Public

Ultimately, it is clear that Anjo Yllana’s statement serves as the voice of the people . It is a reminder that power should be used for the good of the people, and the public is watching. His message is clear: we need real leadership—leaders who are accountable, capable, and willing to fight corruption without hiding behind formality or politics.

Yllana’s anger, resentment, and direct call become a symbol of the frustration of the people . It is a challenge to those in power to serve faithfully, and to the public to continue to monitor the actions of their leaders. In every word of Anjo Yllana, one can see the growing feelings of anger, frustration, and a call for real change in government , based not only on words but also on action.
