Meanwhile, one @nardfeels stated that Adarna’s answer can also be applied to the Philippines’ “state of governance.”
“We deserve the politicians whom we elect,” he said. “And history would tell us that we are not learning our lessons.”
Ellen Adarna's "you deserve what you tolerate" statement timely reflects not just in romantic relationship but also our country's state of governance. We deserve the politicians whom we elect. And history would tell us that we are not learning our lessons.
