Get the hillary supporters mug.
People who support the late son of the dictator, Ferdinand Marcos. They usually reside at the northern provinces in Luzon, Philippines. They love to spread fake news, lack reading comprehension skills, easily fall for propaganda, and don't have the ability to do research.
There are three types of BBM Supporters: Apologists, Loyalists, and Money-Leeches.
The Apologists and Loyalists are the stupidest kind of supporters. Even though they already know that BBM has committed unpleasant things, they continue to defend and praise him.
The Money-Leeches are found on every single UNITEAM/UNITHIEVES rally, near the person giving away P500.00 envelopes in exchange for their votes.
When you ask them why they support BBM, they will answer, "Respect my opinion", "Mabait siya", "Magaling siya sa speeches", or in some cases, they will just stutter.
