This edition of VOX POPULI is featuring the netizens’ reactions, responses and comments to the statement posted on the FB wall of the Managing Editor of The Bohol Tribune. The statement is about the September 21 Rally today.

The statement is: “Musalmot ka ba sa kalihukan dinhi sa Tagbilaran karong adlawa, Sept. 21, 2025 isip pag pakabanâ batok kurapsyon? Ngano man? (Are you joining the rally in Tagbilaran today as a form of support in our fight against corruption? Why?)

The responses, comments and reactions posted by the netizens were:

∙         from Chandymar A. Batoy: I support protests against 

government corruption, but the September 21, 2025, rally demands clarity. Is it “Jail the crook,” “Bring him home,” or “Marcos resign”? Protesters must unite on a single purpose, or we’ll descend into chaos—Timan-e magubot hinuon na ug di ta magkahiusa sa tumong. Without agreement, we risk clashing among ourselves, and the corrupt will laugh at our disarray. Personally, my option is the cry to “Jail the crook.” Let’s stand together, clear in our cause, to ensure our voices are heard and not mocked.

∙         from Nita Pamil Bernido: Salmot jamo!
