Tribal politics” is hurting this country - Atty. Rivera

In Rivera’s post, he calls out how President Rodrigo Duterte cried over the deaths that happened in the NCCC mall fire in Davao earlier this week, however, people on the ground still find time to be on polar opposites.

Rivera called on the people to set aside their “tribal politics” because there is still one thing that unites us all, which is being human.According to him, being human was one thing that the president embodied when he “wept like any father who lost a son or daughter”. Bruce added that when he saw the photo of the president crying, was when he realized that he had no hate as of the moment, but the deepest of sympathies and sadness to those who lost someone on Christmas time.I just hear the termed in a Netflix movie and guilty ako. Lahat tayo guilty. Si PRD umiiyak dahil may namatay pero nakakahanap pa din tayo ng paraan para mang-away ng Dilawan o magpahaging kung gaano hindi siya walang puso tulad ng dating Presidente. That is tribal politics.
We find ways to tribalize everything. Barangay dito at barangay dun. Kami ito, iba kayo. DDS kami, kayo hindi. Perhaps that is the best argument for federalism. That we are segmented and regionalized. But at some point, despite all our differences, in times of despair...we are but one. WE ARE HUMAN.PRD cried because he is human. He wept like any father who lost a son or daughter, the one who worked hard for his family and was trapped in a fire because they had to work harder because its Christmas.
Seeing the picture, I could not muster any hatred. I could not muster anything bad to say against my enemies. I know my enemies are also grieving like me. Despite all that has been said, the hatred and the mean words, we are all human beings. We learned to hate but we also are quick to love and compassion. Humanity is what will unify us all.

Merry Christmas to everyone who felt the pain."
