Duterte's Presidency : Expectations, Controversies, Rants, Etc.

[rooster69ph]

Rody to EU: F*** you!

 

Good jab ...and I mean "jab" not job Mr. President for this ...

 

UN, US then now EU ... who's next?

 

So do you expect the EU to return the compliment and say F_U_2? Nah, they probably won't stoop to your level.

[Queen Darkeinjel]

investors are pulling out and all he's focused on right now would be

 

...reviving the phil constabulary

...war on drugs but he needs 6 more months because he didn't know the extent of drug related problems in the RP

...destroy a female gov't employee/official

...plans to oust him

...insulting allies

 

where is he/government goin to get the funds for his economic plans?

 

FU, EU!! Another one for the books! putting us on the map for ALL the wrong reasons. "out of guilt" that's why they are calling for monitoring of extrajudicial killings. WHAT?!? he might as well have mentioned the holocaust!

meron ba talagang ganun o these are just pigments of his imagination ...

 

or maybe his "security blanket" ... sa mga ginagawa niya di naman kataka-taka na may magiging kritiko sa kanya. at kapag naging malakas at madalas na ang batikos ayun na sasabihin na "sinabi ko na naman sa inyo from the start may balak o plano talaga na matanggal ako sa pwesto". In other words mind conditioning ...inuunahan na niya para wala nang magbalak.

there COULD be some truth to plots against him

 

they could be figments of his imagination

 

however, if he still has the support of the people behind him, there's a less likely possibility that he would be ousted. IF he loses their trust especially if we feel the backlash of his carelesness (internation relations wise) as well as some of the policies that he would want to effect, then that could be the startnof his downfall, with or without a coup d' etat or any political plot.

 

i am neither a fan nor a hater of the current president. who i am is a concerned filipino whose job hinges on consistent investing of foreign companies here either to create jobs or help sustain existing ones. my husband's job hinges on a good relationship with the EU. do they sound selfish? probably. but how are we to pay taxes, spend on groceries, eat once in a while in our favorite restos and in our own way support the economy if our jobs are jeopardized by shaky international relationships.

 

and while i do admire his stand and stance on our sovereignity, i wish he can be more diplomatic about it. more politically correct, polite even while being firm that there are certain things that are happening in this country which are unknown to the rest of the world. that as president he is doing what he thinks is best to address these issues. and that he is not making decisions to please anyone else but the filipino people who have trusted him and elected him to power.

I have voted for and convinced other people to vote for President Duterte but I'm not and will not be a blind follower.

 

My take on his actions/policies:

 

1. War on Drugs - generally agree ako and SUPERhanga ako sa dedication and conviction nya. He does what we want to do (pumatay ng masasamang tao) but cannot do. Sabi nga nya di bale na ako mapunta sa impyerno basta ang mga inosenteng tao magkaron ng langit or something to that effect. I had a kababata friend na nung nalulong sa shabu talagang nag-iba na, while he was meek and friendly before, naging magnanakaw (pati kapatid ko ninakawan), palaaway and kung hindi napatay would most probably go to the next step (hold-up, etc.). When I last talked to him ang sabi nya ang hirap na raw makawala sa shabu, he tried, dahil pati magulang nya tinakwil na sya, kaso hinahanap daw talaga ng katawan. Well, naalala ko lang bigla. Anyway, nobody, admittedly even Pres. Duterte, expected, na ganun kadami ang susuko and mag-aadmit na drug users or pushers sila. Pati mga generals, politicians, na dating untouchables because of money and power nilabanan nya (wow!) and sya lang ang me guts gumawa nun. I watched the presentation of SAF about the new NBP cells and policies and napa-wow na naman ako. He is risking his life and the life of his family para sa ikalilinis ng Pilipinas, while he can easily make billions just by easing up on his campaign. On the contrary, I just hope na pag me innocent victims like the children na nadadamay that the authorities would really investigate, parusahan ang nagkasala and compensate the family (altho we know that an innocent life has no price). Give instructions to the authorities (PNP) na medyo cool ng konte, meaning, pag sumusuko, pabayaang sumuko. A little patience ng konti tutal hindi naman ito karera and buhay ng tao nakasalalay. As for the hardened pushers, go lang ng go.

 

2. International Diplomacy - SABLAY. Pwede ka namang maging firm but respectful of fellow leaders of nations. Respect begets respect. USA has always been there supporting us in times of calamities, giving us financial aids time and again. Other nations respect us because we are allied to the most powerful nation in the world. Kung hindi dahil sa US baka noon pa tayo nilusob ng ibang bansa sa Asia. Wag na hukayin ang sins of a century ago. The USA and most of the world nga napatawad at naging major ally ang Japan, Italy and Germany. What could be worse than WW2 in terms of pang-aapi, pananakop, deaths, etc. Sumasakit tuloy ulo ni Yasay, Andanar and company trying their best na icover-up mga booboos then bigla aamin si P. Duterte haha!

 

3. Marcos Burial - Im undecided because I dont really think about it.

 

4. Cayetano vs De Lima - Over naman si Cayetano na dinamay pa pati si VP Leni sa supposed plot to overthrow Duterte. I think the members of the Liberal Party know that they cannot overthrow Duterte because he has the support of the majority of Filipinos (me included). Si De Lima maski gusto na nya sana umatras, wala na subo na eh, so bigay todo nalang. I personally think that there is some truth to what Matobato said. Whoever will risk his life and that of his family para gawan ng fabricated story ang most powerful man on the Philippines? However, hindi na matindi ang epekto as what De Lima expected because most of the Filipinos already know that Digong killed a lot of people. It's no secret at all. Inamin naman nya sangkatutak na beses na nga. Inamin na rin nya na sa kanya ang DDS on certain interviews na bigla kakambyuhan nalang to soften the effect. But if you will really read between the lines, he admitted that he had killed a lot of criminals, and that ganun din ang gagawin nya pag naging presidente sya. And then he won overwhelmingly. So now De Lima expects people would react extremely in the negative against Duterte because of Matobato? I believe in some of what Matobato said. But it doesnt change the fact that Pres. Duterte is the only one in this country who can do what he is currently doing - cleaning up the country for a better tomorrow for us and our children. Pag malinis na ang Pilipinas sa drugs and organized crimes, then pwede nang maging presidente ang mga naka-barong.

The Philippines Economy Continues Rapid Expansion

The Philippines Sales Managers Index (SMI) for September suggests that the solid annual GDP growth rate of 7% reported in Q2 is set to continue into Q3. The Headline Sales Managers’ Index signalled a sustained and fast rate of growth across the country in September increasing by 0.6 on the index value in August which is the highest reading since December 2015. Inflation rates remain solid with a modest uptick reported in the price of goods and services during the month. Business Confidence levels continued to remain very high despite the recent melee between President Duterte and President Obama and the possible shift away from closer U.S. ties.

5. Re-imposition of Death Penalty - While dati eh gigil na gigil akong ibalik ito for heinous crimes, dahil nga sa sunod sunod na senseless violence due to drug use like rape, robbery na pinapatay ang victims, kidnap for ransoms, etc., now I am for further studying the provisions and there MUST first be a MAJOR change in the Judicial system. Bilisan ang trial ng mga cases, and maalis ang corruption sa mga nasa judiciary. Yung mayaman na kayang maghire ng de-kampanilya na naman ang lamang dito at kawawa mga walang pambayad sa abogado. Kaso yung mga over sipsip na nasa congress at senate eh sige lang ng sige basta maipakita lang na sumusuporta ke Pres. Duterte. Nawala na ang sariling paninindigan sa mga issues. I really hope there are some people who could really advise the president like ex-Pres. Ramos, Persida Acosta, and the likes. And I hope also that Pres. Duterte would sometimes keeps an open mind about some issues. Wag din minsan sobrang focused and obsessed na nawawala na minsan sa ayos.

 

STILL I BELIEVE THAT 5 YEARS FROM NOW WE WOULD ALL THANK PRES. DUTERTE FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THE COUNTRY IN GENERAL.

From today's senate hearing

InterAksyon ‏@interaksyon 12m12 minutes ag

o

Trillanes commends Tugade and Usec Lim, says he was recently at NAIA: Ang traffic ay gumaan.

[SpaceCrash]

At the end of the day, people can rationalize or condemn what he says and does.

 

I lean towards the former. If he can get all that rhetoric into a filter, he might roll some heads.

 

A good portion of the youth(including myself) don't have interest in all the graphs, economic struggles and political discourse.(This problem is cultural to say the least, people think about their lives and their friends lives rather than the nation as a whole).

I'd love it if there is a "Tax Class" (know your gov rights and benefits, classes.).

[daphne loves derby]

has there ever been, in our history, that we found something "AS BIG" as this?

yet in 3 months time, a lot of these laboratories are already discovered and seized.

kung titignan mabuti, luma na ang itsura nung mga equipment, puro kalawang na nga, pero bakit hindi ito nadidiskubre noon pa man???

 

Equipment for shabu mass-production seized in Pampanga

 

A clandestine illegal drugs laboratory that had the potential to produce 100 kilograms of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) per day was discovered by local officials and policemen in a remote village at the foot of Mt. Arayat on Thursday, September 22.
