John Arcilla posted a scathing remark that netizens interpreted as a veiled criticism of the Senate’s recent move to return the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte to the House of Representatives. 

Voting 18-5 on Tuesday, June 10, the Senate acting as an impeachment court moved to remand the articles of impeachment against Duterte back to the lower chamber after hours of deliberation among senator-judges.

Arcilla, who has never shied away from political commentary, did not specify the issue in his post. However, the timing of his post coincided with the events happenings at the Senate, which his followers attributed his outburst to.

“Dumb. Dumber. Dumberer. Dumberest and Dumberestest. Nakakap*ta ng ina. Ang nakaka-kilabot, merong alam mo na hindi naman talaga TANGA pero nagtatanga-tangahan kasi TANGA at MANGMANG ang tingin nila sa mamamayang Pilipino,” the “Heneral Luna” star stated on Facebook.

(Dumb. Dumber. Dumberer. Dumberest and Dumberestest. This is f*cking infuriating. What’s chilling is that there are people who clearly aren’t stupid but pretend to be because they think the Filipino people are stupid and ignorant.) 

Arcilla’s reaction came on the heels of TV host Bianca Gonzalez‘s post saying Duterte’s impeachment trial reminded her of the past proceedings in the Senate that resulted in the EDSA People Power 2 that toppled the administration of former President Joseph Estrada, who was also impeached and being tried for plunder. /edv
