- A netizen rooted for Ethel Booba to run for Senator in 2019.
- She responded how f*cked up the Philippines is if people are actually rooting for her.
- Netizens also reacted to her response and vowed to vote her.
Ethel Booba may be a comedienne but she remains one of the influential people on social media who speaks up regarding political matters. On the other hand, entertainers running for a political position or becoming a public official isn’t that new in Philippine Politics.
For example, Mocha Uson, founder of Mocha Girls, became the Assistant Secretary for Social Media of the Presidential Communications Group.
When a netizen asked Ethel to run for a senatorial position in 2019, she also didn’t confirm nor deny doing so.
“You know your country is fucked when you’re actually rooting for Ethel Booba. Charot!”
Netizens reacted to her response on the said tweet. Many netizens also agreed and vowed to vote Ethel this coming Senatorial election. One netizen, then, stated that Ethel is much wiser than the people seated at the Senate.
“Higit na mas pantas si Ethel Gabison kaysa sa ating mga trapong nakaupo sa Senado.”
Another netizen also remarked that Ethel would be a much better candidate than Mocha.
“Mas ok na si ethel ang nasa senado kaysa si mocha puson. Haha”
One netizen replied that Ethel remains on the side of truth. They also wrote Ethel’s name with a “Sen.” as a prefix.
“Dun lang tayo sa makatotohanan, Sen. Ethel.”
Another netizen also vowed to vote for Ethel.
“Bibigay ko sayo boto ko Ms. Ethyl! Para sa Senado!”
One netizen ended their tweet with Ethel and her fans’ signature “Charot!”
“Boboto po kita Madam pag nagkataon…Walang charot! :)”
Another netizen remarked how smart Ethel is.
“No no. You’re smart @IamEthylGabison. You know where to stand :)”
One netizen couldn’t keep their emotions and promised to vote Ethel.
“IBOBOTO KITA ETHEL”
