President Rodrigo Duterte won the hearts of his supporters for his relatable “makamasa” image as his house was shown to be a simple house, as he was seen wearing a “pambahay” T-shirt while talking to the media outside his house, and as he repeatedly said that he is not rich, therefore he’s not afraid to die. He took this image to Malacañang, wherein he opted to have a simple inauguration and served simple but well-presented Filipino food and a SONA without the extravagant dress code.
However, one netizen denounces Duterte’s “makamasa image,” saying he used it to fool people.
“Kung makamasa ka at gwapo tapos branded mga gamit mo, ELITISTA ang tawag nyan dito sa Pinas. Di bale ba na binili mo lahat sa Divi at Tutuban lahat ng fake brands mo, basta Class A pasado ka na. Never mind na walang laman ang bangko mo o deficit ka buwan buwan,” Facebook user Salud Liporada said.
“Pag kasing pangit mo si Duterte at kasing tigas ang dila mo ng dila nya, at kasing baho ang bunganga… di ka pwedeng tawaging ELITISTA. Kahit pa bilyones ang pera mo. Kahit pa kabarkada mo ang mga miembro ng Oligarkiya,” she added.
“Kaya nga, andaming naloko si Duterte sa MakaMASA nyang japorms,” Liporada added.
Liporada then slammed the rising number of deaths linked to the government’s war against drugs.
“Di bale na na ang paborito nyang patumbahin ay mga Masang Pilipino,” she said.

Liporada also denounced how many Filipinos often dismiss the elite, not caring that there are members of the elite society who donate to orphanages and give medicines and food to the poor.
“Ganyan ang perspektibo ng mga Pilipino. Kung mestizo ka, kahit ubusin mo pa pera mo sa kaka-donate sa mga bahay ampunan, gamot para sa mahirap at pagkain para may lamunin kahit papaano, ELITISTA ka pa rin,” she said.
However, these are the same people who praise Duterte despite paying millions for the services of a lawyer to protect his bank account, just because he was photographed sleeping under a mosquito net.
“Pero kung astang barumbado ka, asal hayop, basta ba medyo marusing….MaKaMASA agad ang peg. Di bale na ang pera ng gobyerno ang ginamit mo sa lahat ng itinulong mo sa mga fans mo. Di bale na na kailangang mong magbayad ng milyones sa abugado para protektahan ang 17K na bank balance mo sa BPI. Di bale na. Basta may piktyur kang nakakulambo, MASA na yan!” Liporada said.
This is why Duterte is popular.
“Kaya, patok na patok si Duterte. Pasok sa profile,” she added.
