ProfessorDavis's definitions
In the Philippines, the “bobotante” (a portmanteau of the words “bobo,” or stupid, and “botante,” or voter) is often used to refer to voters who select ‘unqualified’ candidates for office — perhaps a movie star, an absentee senator, an unapologetic daughter of a dictator, an ex-president widely known to have stolen the elections not just once but twice.
The victory of known plunderers and human rights violators in the recent elections is being blamed on the bobotante, for believing fake news in social media.
