A derogatory term used by Marcos family apologists and supporters as a form of insult on supporters of Leni Robredo, the
2016 Vice President of the Philippines who sparked the "Pink Movement" focused on fighting corruption and disinformation when former senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., internationally infamous for corruption, began running for the
2022 presidential elections.
The term originated from the
words "pink", referring to the Pink Movement, and "Dilawan", also used by Marcos-Duterte apologists and supporters, against supporters of the Liberal
Party in
2016, who were racing against Rodrigo Duterte, the elected President
now internationally infamous for corruption and human rights violations, in the 2016 presidential elections.
"Itong mga pinklawan, wala
nang magawa kundi atakihin si Marcos."
"P're, tinatama ka lang niya. Daming namatay, p're. Daming ninakaw. Magbasa ka ng kasaysayan! Ano
ba naman 'yan?"
