The Makati government is also culpable for permitting the tarnishing of the late Senate president's name merely for a melatonin advertisement. The incident has unveiled the bureaucracy's susceptibility, manipulated by the advertising agency to expose its shortcomings.

Kung yung company na pumayag sa campaign nagsorry, at mayor ng makati nagsorry. Eh what about the ad agency GIGIL na gumawa ng campaign, wala pang sorry from them. Theyre the same agency that did the Belo ad that became viral because of bodyshamming during the pandemic.

Wala sila respeto sa taong naglingkod ng tapat at buong puso nang ilang taon bilang senador sa ating gobyerno. Kagalang2 ang pamilyang eto "Puyat" sa simula p lng. Nakkalunkot tlga sa part ng pamilya nya. Sana may public apology ang gumawa nito. Dahil lng sa ad campaign ng product nila, ssirain p ang magandang surname ng isang mabuti at dating senador. Wala silang galang! 😢😢

Give billions for compensation, they will 🤐🤐

Why not revert the name to Buendia Avenue?
The Puyats can erect monuments and whatever in their private properties, instead.
Problem solved. 😁😁😁
