Nanay ko solid ka-DDS. Di ko na lang pinapakialaman, pero kino-call out ko pag obvious na fake news ang shine-share nya. Yung asawa ng kaibigan ko Duterte fanatic. Di na nya kinaya, inunfriend nya sa Facebook ang sarili nyang mister 
pero ok naman sila sobrang nagmamahalan pa rin ng buong puso.
Kayo, may mahal ba kayo sa buhay na ka-DDS? Pano kayo nagsu-survive?
I feel you. My mother is a Marcos loyalist (not quite DDS but still, WTF mom?). I am forever grateful that she didnât raise me to be one. Mercifully, hindi naman siya DDS. We just donât talk about Marcos at home. Siya lang naman Marcos loyalist sa bahay 
parang 95% of the time, ka-DDS ang Loyalist no?
Kapag mga close relatives and friends, ine-engage ko talaga sila for a discussion. Hindi ako mapapagod na tawagin sila sa liwanag. 
Pero kapag mejo malayong relatives and friends, hinahayaan ko na lang sila sa kanilang misinformation and disinformation.
Kapag SO naman, filtered na dapat yan at the earliest possible opportunity. Getting to know stage pa lang, mejo ekis na. Kung mejo gusto ko siya, baka pwede pa sya magbago. 
My dad is an anti-Marcos but a Duterte supporter. Wala syang social media account so di sya aware sa mga fake news na nash-share. Broadsheet at TV ang sources nya ng news.
Pag pinupuri nya si Duterte, di ako sumasagot or oo lang ako nang oo nang walang follow-up. Di rin ako nagsisimula ng usapang political sa with him kasi mapipikon sya. Pero yung mga kapatid ko pumapatol sa kanya kaya minsan bad trip sya 
Yeah. Super correlated nun eh. Naawa universe sa amin, I guess 
May close friend pala akong DDS. 
We were close but I just canât it so I havenât interacted with any of her social media posts. Nirereplayan ko na lang pag nag-DM 
I donât have the heart yet to tell her to get lost yet.
Wala na rin pala ako halos high school friends sa hometown namin. Majority (90%) ng based dun ay DDS 
I just stay home pag umuuwi ako sa Pasko. That said, I donât regret unfriending them. It is fine to lose friends over politics.
Nanay ko din Marcos loyalist at DDS.
Laging nako-callout sa Family Chat, lalo na ng brother ko. Ayun parating sumasama loob at nagleleft the conversation. Pero syempre binabalik pa rin sya.
Kahit anong explain sa kanya tungkol sa mga misgivings ng gobyerno, wa epek. Most of the time tumatahimik na lang sya pag me mga Duterte topic. Tinotolerate na lang namin pero we are trying to influence her pa rin kung bakit dapat nya i-rethink ang stand nya about Duterte. I dont think magbabago sya.
Timing, may online seminar ngayon about this sa isang FB group âHow to deal with DDS parentsâ 
Yung tatay ko Duterte supporter. Pag nagsasabi siya about Duts, sumasagot ako in a respectful way. Hindi naman niya kami inaaway, nakikinig rin naman siya which is good.
malamang hindi naka-public yan no? for sure, susugurin yan ng troll farm 
Yes, private group 
ano ba ang tamang sagot sa âe anong gagawin natin, babalik tayo sa mga dilaw?â kasi kahit ako di ko talaga kayang i-defend yung incompetence at corruption nung term ni Noynoy
@tabachoi They always raise hypothetical questions. ganun sila. Kaya prepare to answer hypothetically din. Pero syempre that type of conversation wonât lead to any resolution. Kasi nga, hypothetical lang sya.
Kaya i always redirect it by questioning their stand. Bakit nila gusto ang tokhang, etc. (or whatever pressing issues at that moment) Ang objective ko lang talaga is for them to understand na being a blind follower is not helping the country. That of all people, sila ang may burden to demand accountability kasi sila ang bumoto sa kanya.
Definitely nakakapagod. Pero sige lang. unti-unti.
Siblings are Duterte supporters. Parents (being from the North), are Marcos loyalists and Duterte supporters, too. Iâm pleased that I have not acquiesced to their politics, considering all the ostracism and emotional isolation I have had from them.
What to do? I remove myself from almost all family gatherings, those virtual and in vivo alike. If I want to spend time with family, I only sit with two other members at most. I engage most with my mother, as sheâs the one Iâm closest to (and also for my ulterior agenda of conscientizing her on gender equalityâŚhaha).
When it comes to dating, this would not be a problem. A person with such politics would be filtered out from my pool of potentials anyway. Also - the guys I date are mostly not Filipinos.
Extended family are DDS, have some close friends din from both HS and College na DDS. Ang good thing sa friends ko, they know na opposite ends kame and they never once tried to engage me into any discussion. And even sa socmed, quiet sila. My extended family anf vocal BUT since I donât see them often, I can ignore. I would call them out sa mga fake news they share. So far ung mga oldies, they post and share and say sorry pag fake news. Yung mga ka edad ko ang ewan. Unfollow nalang. Makikipag away pa talaga kase pag sinabihang mali. 
Makadagdag lang ng onti, pagpunta ko sa US for a vaca I found out na pro Trump family ko - from lolos and lolas to cousins. I just said I donât agree with Trump and Duterte and nobody talked about it again. 
nag start yung convo cos theyâre asking me how Duterte is as president that was when he was newly elected.
How about the UP friends who are DDS, how do you deal with them?
Sa barkada ko nung huling election, may isang DDS, may isang Binay, ako Roxas. ok naman discussion nung time na nagkaalaman kame. Talo talo. Pero nung nanalo na Duterte, ung friend ko na pro-Binay, solid anti DDS now. So pag nagkikita off the plate ang usapang politics.
Alam ko mahirap din pero early on, sinabihan ko na sila pagisipan naming mabuti kung ano sisira sa pagkakaibigan namin and siguraduhin na worth it.
Ako at si boyfriend, may mga pinsang DDS. I unfollowed them nalang sa social media para hindi ako ma-tempt na makipag âusapâ sa kanila, kasi sobrang blinded talaga sila. They even criticized Vico Sotto, kesyo ang pangit daw ng specs ng drones na binili niya.
At least in my circle, hindi sila visible. Hindi rin sila combative like any normal DDS. haha Kaya chill lang. parang mga closet DDS, ganun. They donât post their political stand in their socmeds. Pero alam ko DDS sila. Mejo may peaceful existence pa.
Many in our family are govt employees (some are anti-Aquino, some seem to be forced to support âthe hand that feeds themâ iykwim)⌠Long story short, I donât wanna hurt their feelings, because I know work is extra tough for them these days, so I just hid some posts and also shifted my rants to Twitter so they wonât see. 
For friends, Iâm ready to cut ties
Paano kaya kung may forums din parents or FB group tapos parehas problema nila (bakit anti-DDS ang anak ko )
My mom voted for Duts but I think now she regrets it.
