The conversation further intensified when Diaz reshared a News5 poster featuring Senator Bato alongside a quote that read,
“Hindi kami papaya na gamitin ang politico upang patahimikin ang mga lider na tunay na nagsisilbi sa bayan.”
The post, dated May 10, 2026, added another layer to the ongoing discussions about political dynamics and influence within government institutions.
In a series of follow-up Instagram stories, Diaz expressed his frustration over what he sees as the direction of political decision-making in the country. He wrote,
“Ano na? Kaya pa ba? Sana, lahat ng desisyon ng mga pulitiko, para sa bayan, hindi para sa pansariling interes. Juice ko po, pinarurusahan ba tayo ng langit? 0 eto kasi ang dasurv ng taumbayan?”
He also commented on what he described as political alliances within the Senate, stating,
“Yung mga senador na nagprotekta kay Sen. Bato para di siya kunin ng mga pulis at ni Trillanes na may bitbit ng icc warrant of arrest, that is what you call friendship. Gusto kong basahin ito na love-love lang siya talaga ng mga senador. Ke mali siya o tama siya, kaibigan siya. Habang nakalimutan nila na ang bumoto naman sa kanilang lahat ay ang taumbayan.”
Diaz further added that, in his view, political divisions have become more about alliances rather than public service, saying,
“Kaya sa totoo lang, kampihan na lang ang nagaganap sa kongreso at senado. Hindi na yung trabaho nilang paglingkuran ang bayan.”
He also delivered a strong statement on accountability and integrity in leadership, writing,
“Walang karapatang gumamit ng quotes sa bibliya ang mga pulitikong corrupt, gumagawa ng illegal at pansariling interes lang ang nasa isip. Tigilan nyo yang kaipokritahan nyo. Hindi assurance yan na sa langit kayo mapupunta.”
As of now, the posts continue to circulate online, drawing varied reactions from the public, with some agreeing with Diaz’s sentiments while others defend the political figures mentioned and call for more measured discourse.
