Ellen Adarna, a Filipina celebrity known for her unfiltered honesty, recently took to Instagram to share her reflections on public servants and the way they are perceived and treated by the public.

In a candid and thought-provoking Instagram story, Ellen questioned the way some politicians are revered — even idolized — despite being in positions meant to serve the country and its people.

"Just speaking from experience rani, guys, ha. Some are okay — grounded and respectful... but some are just, UGH, barf!" Ellen began, setting the tone for a no-holds-barred commentary online.

She even pointed out that taxpayers fund everything that keeps government officials running.

"It's honestly wild when you think about it. We're the ones paying for public servants — their salaries, their offices, their benefits. All of it comes from taxpayers. We're basically feeding them three meals a day, with snacks and coffee breaks in between," she wrote in her lengthy post.

Ellen then raised a compelling question about power dynamics, expressing disbelief at how many ordinary citizens still feel obligated to act a certain way around government officials as well.

"But when we deal with them? It's like we have to tiptoe, smile nice, and act like we owe them, like they're royalty… in a country that's already a mess. Uh, no. Shouldn't it be the other way around?"

She reminded her followers of the role of politicians — to serve the people, not to rule over them.

"They're supposed to work for us. Let's not forget who's actually keeping the lights on here. So, madlang people, don't ever let anyone make you feel like public servants are above you. Because if they do? That means they're more into maintaining power than actually serving the people."

Ellen ended her post with a powerful yet humorous note as well: "When they forget who's [the] boss? Remind them. So… uhm… kinsa diay imong bossing?! Answer: The madlang people!"

Her message has since resonated with many netizens amid the election season this year.
