An old actor with a worn out script

This is my reaction after reading ERAP's article on Rappler "The long walk to freedom continues". You can read the text here: 


ERAP, please stop furthering the divide between the poor and the rich. You were not overthrown by the elite because of your ties with the poor. You were ousted because you are corrupt, plunderer, womanizer, alcoholic, gambler. You have been convicted guilty of plunder. You were incarcerated. You are only free because of a presidential pardon given by your successor whose authority you've always questioned.

To see yourself comparable to Mandela is disgusting. Not even Ninoy and Cory can equal the greatness of the man.

I very strongly appeal to you, please stop capitalizing on the poor. Don't exploit them, it is immoral.

Your ouster from office and conviction from plunder isn't because of social inequality. It is a celebration of equality before the law. 

Put your charisma to better use. I know you can, for I do not doubt your intelligence, given your experience in politics and exposure with the poor. 

Please stop explaining yourself by propagating your twisted version of history which is favorable only to you.

You are an old actor and your script is worn out.
