Pro-Marcos vloggers are bickering and turning into factions just a few weeks after organizing themselves. More in this in-depth by Rambo Talabong:
MANILA, Philippines – On June 10, Jovalyn Alcantara sat in a corner of her home, turned on the light, then went live on YouTube forIn that corner, she was no longer Jovalyn. She was Mami Peng, the Marcos loyalist who spoke to her phone hours at a time to give a rundown of the news from the view of a fierce supporter of the Marcoses. Alcantara has become quite skilled at it that she managed to amass a following of 6,000 subscribers.
The squabbles of influencers reflect the squabbles of their “sources” – most of whom are their political allies and patrons who feed them information that they churn out as content for their channels. Case in point, Alcantara said she left UVIP because she said she refused to attack Executive Secretary Rodriguez, whom UVIP members have criticized over the “slow” processing of appointment papers.
She recounted Rodriguez being by Marcos’ side even before Marcos became powerful – unlike the UVIP vloggers. Nieto was a tandem with former television presenter Anthony Taberna in questioning appointments linked to Rodriguez, while the loyalist Maharlika led the voices of faithful Marcos supporters in defending the executive secretary.
Alicia Lipata of Mimaa Alicia, meanwhile, left the group because she could not fulfill obligations for the UVIP. She was based outside Manila and could not commit to schedules of the group, Rappler was told by another source. The UVIP created these to seek accreditation from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and then ultimately from Malacañang and other government offices.
