ICYMI: Bullet Dumas, fellow musicians protest Marcos Day in Ilocos Norte: ‘We don’t honor dictators’
Singer-songwriter Bullet Dumas, a staunch critic of the administration, expressed his dismay via Twitter yesterday, Sept. 2, noting that the passage of such bill, even if it is only for one province, “is a big deal.”
Fellow musician and OPM veteran Jim Paredes, also a vocal critic of the administration, meanwhile, supported Dumas’ sentiments, replying to the latter’s tweet with a simple “Tama .” “Why don’t you just exempt certain regions from the constitution and just allow them to make thieves and killers their heroes? At least you are being honest,” he added.
