Sen. Imee Marcos and film director Darryl Yap failed [again] as their latest negative campaign against VP Leni Robredo backfired at the two.

On Thursday, February 10, Yap premiered the Pagod Len-Len vlog on his Vincentiments Facebook page earning the ire of furious working class netizens.

Netizens were united in pushing back Yap and Marcos’s Pagod Len-Len narrative that people who claimed to be working on an average of 18 hours are either lying or stupid.

Celebrities, social media influencers, and ordinary netizens didn’t budge in sharing their own and other people’s experiences working many hours to give their families decent and comfortable lives.

@Arshiethromycin’s tweet chided Imee, saying [it’s obvious] that the Senator and her family doesn’t know how to work their ass off, and all they know is to steal from the nation’s coffers.

“Palibhasa hindi sila marunong magbanat ng buto puro pagnanakaw lang ang alam”

Writer G3 San Diego tweeted said she’s offended by Yap and Marcos’s vlog because it trivializes the hardship of Filipino workers, who are working hard to earn a living for their families.

Kaladkaren also shared her sentiments on twitter, saying there are many Filipino who for more than 18 hours citing people working in different news departments.

Former PTV4 news anchor Jules Guiang, meanwhile, took a swipe on Marcos’s campaign platform on Unity saying how can they espouse unity when they cannot even unite with the plight of Filipino workers and mock them instead.

After earning the ire of the netizens, Yap brazenly attacked his critics and wrote that they can bash him all they want; but he maintained that VP Leni will not win the election.

However, after his fiery retort to his critics, Yap deleted an old Facebook post saying he worked without sleep for 29 hours.

But netizens were quick to screengrab the post before he deleted it and quickly circulated it on twitter.

But not only Yap who got a taste of his own medicine.

Blogger @chikkanessave was able to dig old news artcard on Imee boasting that she only sleeps for 4 hours and then spends the rest of the day working.

Here are other comments from the netizens lambasting Yap and Imee’ anti-worker narrative.

“I experienced working for 18 hours too from 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM the next day and still have to report to work at 7:00 AM again. During this time, I had to wake up at 4:00 AM to get ready and travel to work. It was traumatizing. As a newcomer, I didn’t have much choice.” – @whatsupjared

“You know who else works more than 18 hours a day? MOTHERS.” – @topperwhere

“Nakakasuka na minomock yung pagtratrabaho ng 18 hours a day. Palibhasa hindi kayo nagtratrabaho. Pachill chill lang kayo jan kasi marami naman kayong pera na ninakaw niyo lang naman. Kakagigil amputa” – @_angeldei

“18 hour work day? Ung nasa paresan, carinderia, lugawan. Mga nars, doktor, mangingisda o namamasada. Ung gumigising ng 4am at nakakauwi ng pasado 9pm dahil sa traffic. Ito ang buhay ng mga walang bilyones na yaman. Sige, tawa pa. So, sino elista ngayon?” – @iamjohnmolo

“Alam niyo kung sino pa ang nagtatrabaho ng 18 hours a day? Ang mga nurses natin na nagdodouble shift para mapunuan ang kakulangan ng natin sa health workers during Covid surge. Ang mga doctor natin na nagduduty ng 24 hours na walang idlip kahit 10 man minutes lang.” – @pinoyakoblog

“As a production assistant na naranasang mag-calltime to calltime shoot for three days only to earn 4,500. At para sa lahat ng manggagawang kailangangan kumayod nang kumayod upang mabuhay. Sasabihin ko nang buong loob. Hindi kami ang tamad, sinungaling, at magnanakaw” – @OGelo28O

“Hindi lang si VP Leni ang kinutya ng video ni Imee Marcos at ni Juliana. Pati ang mga mga kababayan natin sa ibang bansa.” – @pinoyakoblog

“Sometimes I do though, just not every day. I remember my worst was 36 hours with small breaks in between.” – @@prlscntsapphire

“Tinatawanan nila si Lenlen kasi 18 hours daw siyang nagtratrabaho kaya laging lutang. Aba eh kung maayos siguro yung namumuno o kaya tumulong yung talunan na sa Blengblong, baka hindi niya kailangang magtrabaho ng 18 hours.” – @jaicabajar

“So Darryl Yap is cool with calling doctors, nurses, security guards and people juggling multiple jobs “liars” or “fools”? These honest people work long hours out of necessity and not out of stupidity. I find this video of his crass and offensive.” – @hellokidneymd

“Anyone who mocks people working 18 hours a day is either tamad or matapobre.” – @pmjamilla

“Alam mo kung sino nagtrabaho ng higit pa sa 18 hours? Yung mga manggagawa na minamadali niyo nuon sa film center. Tapos nung nag collapse (oo juliana) yung bldg na ginagawa, tinabunan niyo pa diba? So pano pa yun babangon muli?” – @floydtena
