Philippines president sparks outcry for using presidential helicopter to see Coldplay concert
stoly, Absolutely nothing of this surprises me. The moment I knew that he was a candidate, I knew that this sort of thing would happen.
OozingPositron, 
Smartest Coldplay fan.
01011, His name is Marcos, what did they expect when they voted for him?
ChunkMcHorkle, 
This could almost be called imeldific.
GenEcon, Its not like you haven’t been warned. But you still voted for him.
MummifiedClient5000, Oh, come on, they couldn’t possibly have known that he likes Coldplay.
DragonTypeWyvern, Did it surprise you to learn that he does?
MummifiedClient5000, I’m always surprised when I learn that someone likes Coldplay.
frezik, The other guy was the Philippines’ version of Trump, so it tracks.
Localhorst86, (edited ) does it spark outcry because he used a helicopter or because it was a coldplay concert?
geogle, 
Coldplay 100%. If it was Taytay it would be understandable
Adi2121, If it was Weezer I would get it
DragonTypeWyvern, (edited ) You gotta do what you gotta do to get past the Swifty Swarm
blargerer, Might be a hot take, but it seems completely justified. Crawling traffic would pose a serious security threat. They also have a right to be upset about the traffic situation. 2 things can be true at the same time.
lud, Just don’t go to the concert then
BruceTwarzen, Idk, our president uses the train most of the time
OpenHammer6677, For context, we are having a transport crisis here in PHL. Aside from being the worst in the world for traffic, a major public transport system is about to be modernized and the cost is unbearable for the drivers.
Also the president has a record of being a “party boy”, going to lots of events and parties all over the world.
Going to the concert through a helicopter using public money is insensitive, and I’m being extremely generous.
icedcoffeebutnoice, Spoiled brat president
match, 
Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate…
XTL, Little dictator energy

Deceptichum, 
It’s okay Filipinos can afford it, there’s nothing more beneficial for the country that money could be spent on that.
gapbetweenus, We all know that children are always just a copy of their parents.
kattenluik, This is genuinely my worst fear and I hate this statement.
gapbetweenus, Kind of forgot the /s.
Cinner, No, I don’t think they forgot anything.
gapbetweenus, I was talking about myself.
Cinner, Oh I didn’t notice you were the commenter before them.
