A man posted a photo of a P500 bill on Facebook with a request to the next president to remove the image of the late president Corazon Aquino and her husband, the late senator Benigno Aquino, Jr., from the money.
“Hinihiling ko duon sa susunod na magiging Pangulo ng Pilipinas kung sino kaman [I am asking the next president of the Philippines, whoever you are], Grace, Miriam, Binay o [or] Duterte, paki alis na po sana ang mga larawan na ito sa 500 peso, sapagkat hindi po sila nababagay dito, hindi naman sila mga bayani para ilagay sa pera. Sana mabigyan pansin ito kung sinoman ang susunod na magiging pangulo [please remove their image from the P500 bill, because they do not belong here, they are not heroes. I hope attention would be given to this, whoever the next president will be],” I. Ponce captioned the photo of the bill which was posted on Facebook.
The post, which was shared nearly 2,000 times, has gained different reactions from social media users.
Some of them agreed, like A. Rojas: “Agree ako! Ano nga ginagawa ng dalawang salot na ‘yan diyan [I agree! What are they doing there]? Disgrace to the Pilipino nation!”
“Sang-ayon ako pati ang [I agree, even the name of] NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) alisin at ibalik ang [must be replaced by its old name, the] MIA (Manila International Airport),” H. Llepun wrote.
But some pointed out that the image of the two deserve to be on the money.
“Alam mo ba kung bakit nandiyan sila? PM mo lang kung gusto mo malaman. At bakit naman nila papalitan? Dahil sa opinyon mo [Do you know why they are there? Message me if you want to know. And why should they change that? Because of your opinion]? Sorry. May opinion lang din kasi ako. BSED in history nga pala [I have my opinion, too. By the way, BSED in History],” commented J. Espiritu.
“‘Wag ka namang ganoon. Kahit Duterte ang pamilya ko, nirerespeto po namin si Cory Aquino at si Benigno. ‘Wag ka naman pong ganiyan kasali sila sa bayani sa Pilipinas at si Cory ang nagpatupad ng demokrasya [Don’t be like that. Though my family is for Duterte, we respect Cory and Benigno Aquino. They are among the Filipino heroes and Cory brought about democracy],” I. Bautista wrote.
Meanwhile, other people said that the country has bigger problems than worrying about whose image must be printed on the P500 bill.
