Top 10 Worst Politicians in the Philippines
The Philippines isn't exactly known for the most squeaky-clean politics around the globe. Sadly, corruption scandals have plagued the country for decades. So, who exactly are the politicians folks think take the cake when it comes to shady dealings?From dynasties that dominate the political landscape to questionable figures making headlines, there's certainly no shortage of candidates when it comes to worst politicians. You'll often hear stories about them involving misuse of public funds, self-serving legislation, or outright abuse of power.

She didn't even have any background in politics, let alone leading a whole country. To make matters worse, she used the "democracy card" to negate her own incompetence and that of her allies. She does not deserve to be commemorated or be included in the 500-peso bill. Her husband was more sensible.
Speaking of her husband, she used the demise of Benigno Aquino Sr. as fuel to the fire that has been burning the Philippines since the communist insurgency broke out. She deserves to be at the top of this list. So much for being the first female president of the Philippines.

On paper, economically, he did well by reducing debts but stunted the growth of the Philippines by not investing in infrastructure. We are not a first world country. Why would you save money to pay down debts? You spend to earn tenfold into the future by growing the economy.
Need I say, he was stupidly corrupt as well.
No significant infrastructure project was completed or even started during his term. His Daang Matuwid policy was a scam.
He rode on people's sentiments following the death of his mother but was generally inept and incompetent in government.
One of the worst politicians in the Philippines. He attempted to overthrow his nephew, Noynoy Aquino, during his nephew's term.
I don't know what to say about this man.

Ferdinand Marcos is widely regarded as one of the most corrupt politicians in Philippine history. During his 20-year dictatorship, he and his wife, Imelda Marcos, amassed a massive fortune through embezzlement, graft, and other corrupt practices.
Marcos used his position of power to enrich himself and his cronies and to suppress any opposition to his regime. He siphoned off billions of dollars in public funds, using his ill-gotten wealth to fund lavish personal expenses, including multiple properties and art collections, as well as to bribe officials and maintain a powerful grip on the government.
Many supporters of Ferdinand Marcos may deny the facts surrounding his corruption, particularly those who hold strong loyalty to him and his legacy. However, the facts surrounding Marcos' corruption have been well-documented and supported by evidence.

- A fascistic, wannabe dictator who murdered 10,000+ Filipinos in his fake war on drugs while allowing a suspected drug lord to leave the country. A human rights violator, self-confessed mass murderer, and rapist.
- So corrupt that he indebted the Philippines with incompetent pandemic response measures and infrastructure loans from China, which might as well be a "debt trap."
- A coward and a puppet of China.
- Released detained corrupt politicians during his term and made them his political allies.
- A Marcos apologist.
- Anti-poor, killed thousands of Filipinos under the fake drug war, and told jeepney drivers he didn't care if they starved to death.
- Foul-mouthed, misogynistic, narcissistic, and incomprehensible. He talks to the people like a drunkard.
He has done absolutely nothing for the betterment of the Filipino people. He is horribly inept, corrupt, and his very existence is an insult to the Republic.
All his confidence comes from being a fortunate son and nothing more. It was from him that all senators exist for the whims of the President from their political party. They let their staff do their work.
There was nothing good in his term. It was his fault that the EDSA People Power Revolution 2 was enforced.

Also known as ERAP, he also stole money from the people through plunder cases. He is the second Ferdinand Marcos and was ousted through a people power revolution, just like what happened to Marcos.
One of the most corrupt politicians in the Philippines and the laziest president.
Why did he even become the president of the Philippines?

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been accused of numerous cases of corruption and election rigging during her tenure. Her administration was marred by allegations of widespread bribery, embezzlement, and misuse of government funds. She has been involved in the plunder of public funds, including the misuse of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) funds.
Arroyo is also accused of election fraud, including rigging the 2004 presidential election, which she won by a narrow margin amid allegations of vote manipulation. She was also accused of attempting to manipulate the 2007 senatorial elections in favor of her allies.
He literally danced his way into another term, where he will continue pocketing money from the tens of millions of struggling people. Like Jinggoy, he is a complete insult to the Republic.
He is the fool of the Senate. He has always been a fool and always will be. He knows that people are laughing at him because everyone knows that he is a thief. Yet he still persists in pursuing a government position, banking on the unintelligent Filipinos who still see him as an actor.
He had the audacity to dance "Budots" without even promising the people his advocacies and laws. Surprisingly, he will have a seat in the Senate in 2019, and we hope it's an electric one.

Used public funds to pay for her travels. Hid wealth along with her children after the death of their patriarch, Ferdinand. Still pretends to know nothing about what happened during her husband's reign. Also, believes that aliens communicate with her.
Imelda Marcos was also known for her involvement in corrupt practices during her husband's administration. She was famous for her love of luxury and opulence, which she flaunted in front of the Filipino people, who were struggling to make ends meet.
The Newcomers

Stole the presidency seat from Leni Robredo in 2022. Puppet of oligarchs and communists. Doesn't know what he's saying in speeches and interviews. Promoted cancel culture to his political opponents.
Has not acted as president ever since. Opposed the Aquino administration and slandered the country in foreign media. Changed their color from red to black to disguise themselves as an independent party, when in fact they are still corrupt.
Stupid. Incompetent. Incomprehensible. Everything a basic public servant is not. Stupid again.

The dinosaur has been pillaging the coffers of the nation since the beginning of his political career. This person does not deserve a peaceful end.
He was Marcos' former defense minister and is responsible for human rights violations under martial law. He is a corrupt politician.
One of the most evil and dishonest politicians in the Philippines. The most corrupt politician ever.
Vice President Jejomar Binay has run a 30-year political dynasty in Makati City. He has multiple corruption charges both locally and on the national level, and has amassed a lot of ill-gotten wealth.
The con artist who has taken credit for all that Makati has become. His major con is overpricing every government project under his time as Makati mayor.
One of the most corrupt. Blatantly.
She is a horribly entitled and out-of-touch woman who clearly entered office to expand their already thriving business empire. This came at the expense of thousands of struggling landowners in both urban and rural areas.
Cynthia Villar and her family run for public office not to serve Filipinos but to expand their businesses and extend their influence.
A land grabber and anti-poor senator who authored the Rice Tariffication Law, which made poor Filipino farmers suffer.
There's not much to say - he's as inept as Noynoy, as useless as Cory, as pathetic as Bong Revilla, and an insult to the madhouse that is the Senate, much like Jinggoy.
Duterte's personal aide. The one who replaces his diaper and wipes his anus after defecating. The real first lady of Duterte.
This puppet politician has billions in his name despite his low intelligence, as he is the number 1 crony of Duterte.
Puppet senator of Rodrigo Duterte. Doesn't know anything about legislating.
Despite claiming to hold the moral high ground, she did not seem to make any effort to rein in her overly zealous, holier-than-thou, arrogant fanatics. Many of these individuals are likely students from top schools who may not have voted because they view it as beneath them to stand in line at the dirty, musty polling precincts with the unwashed masses of commuters. These supporters trample, destroy, and attack anyone who remotely criticizes her or tarnishes her perfect image.
Additionally, we cannot forget Kiko Pangilinan's forced "sana all" cry, which felt fake and was an insult to a hopeless republic of over a hundred million people. She never once advocated for her supporters to treat those with differing opinions kindly. Instead, it felt as if she unleashed them like hounds, even against those who aren't naive enough to believe that politicians will significantly change their daily lives.

Should be in the top 10. He was considered one of the traitors of history. He was responsible for the deaths of Andres Bonifacio and Gen. Antonio Luna.
He sold the Philippines to Spain for MXP 800,000 to be exiled in Hong Kong while the revolution in the Philippines was still ongoing. He authorized the execution of Andres Bonifacio and his brother, Antonio Luna. He swore allegiance to the U.S.A. instead of accepting death after being captured.
One of the most corrupt politicians and dictators in the Philippines, he ordered the killings of Antonio Luna and Andres Bonifacio.

Fake, usurper, bigot, hypocrite, and false prophet who preys on the poor and the gullible Filipinos. He keeps making false promises, leading them to believe that he will truly serve the nation, but has not passed a single law or even maintained a decent political and legal discussion. He always diverts to the Bible and to God just to keep a conversation going, but it's all superficial and petty. He has never helped the poor, except for show and media coverage. Even his own constituents in his hometown in General Santos City despise and shun him. He faces billions in tax fraud cases and is a known womanizer and drug lord.
Duterte's puppet. Retired police chief who murdered thousands of Filipinos under the fake drug war.
Loves the limelight. Mr. Second the Motion.

Drug lord queen or protector of drug lords.
He is the son of Vice President Jejomar Binay and the mayor of Makati City who has been suspended from office due to plunder and anomalous projects.
He is the most corrupt Mayor of Makati, facing numerous cases in court. Moreover, he is also the worst Mayor of Makati. His father and sister are the better ones.
Involved in the pork barrel scandal, and her daughter lived a luxurious lifestyle using people's money.
He must be at the top of the list due to the Maguindanao massacre. Next is Estrada for the plunder case involving the theft of Filipino funds.
Murderers and making politics their business, just like most of the politicians.
He is an example of a person who thinks he is God.

One of the worst senators of the 2010s era. He is planning to change the last lyrics of our national anthem.
Unflinching plagiarism, along with many more dirty tricks and skeletons in the closet.

Sold Petron to Malaysia. Built only the MRT-3 while the country is trillions of pesos in debt. Stole the presidency seat from Miriam Defensor Santiago during the 1992 election by causing massive brownouts.

His legacy project, the Ungka Flyover in Iloilo City, is more than enough to tell you what kind of inept and corrupt, worthless waste of space this sleepy fatso is.
Corrupt and always sleeping during sessions.
