Philippines president sparks outcry for using presidential helicopter to see Coldplay concert

Elect the guy, then get mad when he has to use the resources made available to him to live his life while surrounded by security he’s likely not allowed to leave behind. If his motorcade got stuck in traffic, would they blame the traffic jam on him?

I wish my president went to concerts for music that was released in the last 40 or 50 years… and I know they would take some sort of air transportation to get there. The Secret Service wouldn’t give them a choice.

Also, the guys family was famous for excessive embezzlement, so I’m not sure what exactly they expected.

Considering the fact they elect him in the first place, I’m sure they’ll get over it in no time.

His family stole lots of money from the state, right? And they elected his expecting what, exactly?

More money on shoe production?

I’m sure his voters don’t care at all. They are all blinded by “royal family” propaganda and conspiracy videos.

I could excuse doing that for a band that was actually good, but coldplay?

Their recent stuff is rubbish but they’ve got dozens of solid songs on the older albums

Idk I like Coldplay. Not a Stan, but their songs are well written and Chris Martin has a very great voice.
