Comedianne Ethel Booba is famous online for her witty tweets that indirectly take jabs at certain issues, most of which contain a slight hint of truth that many can agree on.
This time, she posted her famous “Charot” tweets to give her two cents on the ongoing filing of Certificate of Candidacy (COC) for the 2019 elections.
Ethel commented on Ramon “Bong” Revilla’s plan to run for senator despite being jailed in Camp Crame in Quezon City. He was jailed for his alleged involvement in the P10-billion pork barrel scam. Revilla’s COC was filed by his wife Lani Mercado, and son Jolo.
Due to having a criminal record, Ethel questioned Revilla’s intention in running for a political position.
She then quipped on Twitter while sharing the news about Revilla’s COC filing, “Kuha po kayo ng NBI Clearance sa counter 6. Charot!”

Aside from Revilla, Ethel also posted more cheeky commentaries about other politician who decided to file their COCs.
She commented about Juan Ponce Enrile’s intention to run once again, and the slight mistake he created by putting “businesswoman” in the occupation section of his COC.
Former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile granted of bail due to his poor health condition. At age of 94 you should rest and enjoy your life as a businesswoman (according to his COC form). Charot!

Ethel also shared a now-deleted tweet about Pia Cayetano who rode a bicycle to the Commission on Election od file her COC.
“Cycling is better for her than running. Charot!” Ethel said.
