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

[everyman]

I agree with the Duterte mob, the blame is squarely on the shoulders of the Yellow Media.

 

Naknamputa alam na nilang saksakan ng tanga yung Presidente sa pagsagot sagot sa mga isyu tapos tanong pa sila ng tanong. Winiwish lang talaga nilang pumutok sa mukha ng ating guwapong Presidente yung mga sinasabi niya eh. Alam naman nila na ang daling buyuin nitong ating butihing Pangulo, tapos uutu utuin pa nila. Alam na nga nilang uto uto. Tsk. Para lang sa pera. Mga bayaran talaga yang Yellow Media. Mga p#tang$na nila.

lipat na lang sila sa Mocha Uson FB page...dun sila magbolahan..... LOL!!!!!

 

at for the guwapong presidente... alam naman nyang binubuyo sya, patol naman ng patol....

[Vegasboy32]

Duterte should be careful with what he says in Public. He should tone down. The damage has already been done. Sabay bwelta na hindi raw sya makikipagtalo kay Obama lol. Yan lang ang kelangan nyang i work on yon yung itikum ang bibig niya at kilalanin nya kung sinong binabangga niya. If he has the balls sana nag deklara na lang siya ng giyera laban sa America. It's a war that the Philippines cannot win.

[jopoc]

 

Tama si Abe... Famous sa Japan si Duterte...

[rooster69ph]

Hay ... dati na napagusapan ang pagiging taklesa ni DIgong ...ang suggestion nga dapat magbago siya

 

ayun defend to the max ang mga followers niya na kesyo ganun lang talaga at intindihin...

 

o ayan intindihin na lang natin kung anuman "damage" ...

 

intindihin na lang din natin ang mensaheng gustong iparating ng mga damage control mob kahit na alam naman natin pinaiikot lang nila ang tunay na pangyayari.

Really??? Maging mapanuri.

where were these people who ask na maging mapanuri when the media was bashing Erap, GMA, Binay, Corona? etc?

 

the media has been like that for decades and ngayon lang kayo magiging mapanuri?

 

if you want mapanuring media, stick with mocha's FB page... dun ang nagbobolahan ang mga "mapanuri"

 

----

 

point is, Digong places us at a bad light with what he said, no matter how you interpret it.

he is now known as the thug who called the POTUS a "son of a whore" whether true or not.

 

Nung panahon ni Erap di pa uso gaano social media, pero he had his fare share of defenders. So is the rest na binanggit mo dyan.

 

Duterte has his fantards, Noynoy has his fantards, Manny pacquiao has his fantards, fanatics are everywhere.

 

But what I am saying is that it is good that we live in a day and age where we have more power to comment or even counter the major new media outlet, at hindi gaya nung after 1986, na naging gospel na lang ang kabayanihan ng mga Aquino. Ngayon nagwa-wane na din popularity nila at yang diwa ng edsa na katarantaduhan na yan.

 

I brought this up because sabi ko nga, nabasa ko buong transcript ng sinabi ni Duterte, at maliwanag na hindi nya sinabing p#tang %na mo Obama. At least ngayon mas pwede naman natin kastiguhin media pag nagiging irresposnable sila.

Lahat naman siguro ng pulitiko me nasasabing "Katangahan". Tulad ng sinabi ng isang DILG secretary na sasamahan nya pa daw publiko bumili ng drugs. Pero wala naman headline na "Mar Roxas, alam kung san makakabili ng drugs, sasamahan ang mga adik". O kaya yun sinabi nya sa tacloban di ba? "Roxas: Eh Romualdez ka! Aquino ang Amo ko, kaya Pakyu kayong lahat!".

[alex10]

Digong is the manager of our country right now. It's his style. Well, 6 years nating madadama ang ganyang style nya. It's either we adapt to his style or will just air our thoughts in the social media. Personally, i'm happy with what's happening right now, may aksyon! - Administrasyon kontra droga, kontra ASB, corruption in government, faster transaction with government agencies, illegal mining, etc.. I just hope magtuluy-tuloy ang momentum ng change. I just hope that all our views unite with the goal of coming up with solutions to the different problems we're facing right now: Drugs, transparency in government (sana mapasa ang changes sa bank secrecy law), FOI, traffic at kung anu-ano pa. Ang daming stress na kelangan i-address. And lastly, sana e wag naman idamay ang "Hospitability Industry" lalung-lalo na ang pantanggal pagod na mga SPA..

Madali lang hanapin yung footage ni Duterte on Obama, posted the video link above. Para hindi na tayo umasa sa interpretation ng mga Salvador Panelo clones, watch it for yourself.

 

 

 

Duterte addressing Obama: You must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. p#tang %na mumurahin kita sa forum na iyan.

Pwede mong panoorin parekoy. You're welcome.

 

He threatened to curse the President of the United States in front of the international forum. Any intelligent person would see this as improper and inappropriate especially directed toward a World leader who has not shown disrespect toward the Filipino nation.

 

Bakit dito sa China na harap harapan na tayong binabastos e napakabait nitong si Digong D Great. Tapos ime-meeting pa niya si Putin na kamping kampi sa China naknamputa talaga.

[Edmund Dantes]

Hindi po ang election ang pinaguusapan dito. Ang pinaguusapan dito, kung papano kayang baguhin ng media yun intent, context, at gist ng sinabi mo. Hindi dito pinaguusapan pagkapanalo o pagkatalo ni Roxas. Kung si Duterte nagsabi ng mga yan di ang lalabas siguarado na headline "Duterte sinabing bahala na sa buhay nila ang mga taga tacloban dahil Romualdez Mayor nila".

Pinanood ko na yan, binasa ko pa transcirpt nyan ng mga tatlong beses na halos. Nung una kong nakita headlines, nagutla ko kung bakit mukhang di nanaman nacontroll ni Digong bunganga nya. Pero nung binasa ko transcript sabi ko.... "teka wala naman dito na sinabi nyang p#tang %na mo Obama ah? Bakit ngayon ang headline "Duterte called Obama a Son of a whore?" it makes all the difference. Semantic manipulation ginawa dito malinaw na malinaw.

 

Ikaw kaya panoorin yan ulit, sino ba mas kinakastigo nya dito? Hindi ba yun reporter? kasi gusto maging cute na puppy sa paanan ni Uncle sam. At kung pakikingan mo lang dispassionately kabuuan ng sinabi nya, tama naman sya di ba? Hindi ba dapat igalang kasarinlan din ng Pilipinas? Hindi ba hipokrito naman ng US eh mas malala nga mga kaso ng Police Brutality pa ata sa kanila.

 

Ngayon, while I do agree hindi na sya dapat nagbitaw ng PI, mali pa din na ibabandera agad na minura si Obama, dahil hindi yun ang nangyari. Tsk tsk tsk.

 

Naalala mo ba nung kinausap ni Gen Bato si Herbert Colangco sa bilibid? Pianyuhan pa na maging masunurin sa dyos. pero malamang di ako magugulat kung ang lumabas na balita ganito.

 

"General Dela Rosa, walang awang pinagtatapik ang likod ng walang kalaban laban at kawawang si Herbert COlangco habang nakagapos ang kamay nito sa likod".

[jopoc]

your interpretation means nothing if the whole worlds interprets it in another way.

 

point is, Du30 is now known worldwide as the president who cursed obama. deal with it.

 

kasalanan ba ng media yan? yes, to a certain extent... pero kanino may mas malaking kasalanan, si duterte.... hindi sya nag iingat sa pananalita nya..... at the end, the media will never be the bad guy here... si duterte....

No spin.

[everyman]

Duterte was taken out of context. Duterte said "p#tang$na" out of exasperation and not directed at Obama. International media, probably to sensationalize it, spun it out of context. But hey, Duterte is now famous world-wide. Negative publicity is still publicity. The international media failed to report the essence of what Duterte said and that is the he won't get cowed by any foreign nation.

Bringing up Roxas and the Yellow Media as a bogeyman is right up the alley of the Peter Tiu Lavina social media operatives playbook. I do not buy that spin as we can see the raw footage for ourselves. Conjuring up a conspiracy theory, making up and hyping the supposed existence of a Yellow Media is a strategy to consolidate and rally the Duterte base against a made-up target. A bogeyman.

 

If we are to believe this narrative, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC and all of the Western Media are part of the Yellow Media. I do not like this bogeyman tactic as it effectively obfuscates discussion of real facts and issues. In the case of this Duterte gaffe, the media is definitely not the problem.

 

Yung mga hinanakit niyo nuong panahon ng elksyon, iwanan na sa nakaraan. Presidente na yang manok niyo and this is a whole new ballgame. Hindi pwedeng habang buhay na chuwariwap. Di ba si Abnoy nagrereklamo din na napaka-unfair ng media sa kanya, Puro sa kamalian daw ang focus at nakalimutan na ang mga ginawang tama? Huwag pairalin ang persecution complex please lang.

Yeah I can deal with it. You know why? because at the end of the day, that also goes with saying that he did not want to take s@%t from uncle Sam. And while I do not entirely agree with how he said it, tama din naman sya. Ang hirap sa US napakabastos at napakaarogante. Laging kelangan makialam sa pamamalakad ng ibang teritoryo. Lalo kung mas maliit sa kanila. Sa totoo lang, do not worry kung tingin mo nagiging internationla kahihiyan si Duterte sa Japan. Actually, antihero ang appeal nya dito. Sabi nga nila bilib sila sa Cojones nya, at maski leader ng isang super pwoer di nya basta basta sasantuhin lol.

 

Papanong walang kasalanan ang media dito? Ayaw nila balansehin ang binabalita. Ayaw nila pakita buong kwento. Sabi ng mga supporters ni De Lima, half-truth daw is still a lie. Well there you go! Nagmura si Duterte, but it is way of a stretch na ihe-headline nila tinawag ni Duterte si Obama ng p#tang %na.

Lol yang video mo is not even 2 minutes long. The exchange and Duterte's response was longer than that. At kahit paulit ulit mo ito daanin sa semantics, hindi minura ni Duterte si Obama mismo. Eto buong transcript kung masipag sipag ka magbasa. Kulang kasi nasa video mo eh. Minsan kasi mainam yun binabasa din

 

http://www.rappler.com/nation/145337-transcript-duterte-obama-human-rights

 

Since andyan naman full transcript, siguro naman hindi na ito white wash kung i-highlight natin yun precedent na paragraph bago sya nagmura.

 

"I am not beholden to anybody. Iyong mga kolumnista diyan na (Those columnists who say), "Wait until he meets – " Who is he? I am a President of the sovereign state, and we have long ceased to be a colony. I do not have any master, except the Filipino people. Nobody but nobody."

 

So malinaw na ang inesermonan nya dito yun mismong mga kolmnistang tingin titiklop na lang sya pag nakaharap sa isang pangulo ng isang super power.

 

Tapos eto na kasunod. Eto yun nagbitaw sya ng p#tang %na

 

 

you must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. Putang-ina, mumurahin kita diyan sa forum na iyan. Huwag mo akong ganunin (Son of a whore, I'll curse you at that forum. Don't do anything like that to me). Tell that to everybody. Itong mga kolumnista, para ba akong tinatakot. Anak ka ng – umalis kayo diyan sa Pilipinas, pumunta kayo doon sa Amerika (These columnists, it's like they're threatening me. Son of a – leave the Philippines, go to America). You write kung ano sa ’yo (whatever you like) – you’re the lapdogs of this American. Who is he to confront me? As a matter of fact, America has one too many to answer for the misdeeds in this country. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa tayo nakatikim ng apology niyan (Up to this day, we have not received any apology from them). That is the reason why Mindanao continues to boil.

 

Ayuuuuun. Ni hindi pala nabanggit yun pangalan ni Obama sa paragraph na ito. Yun p#tang %na, hindi naman talaga addressed pa nga kahit kanino in specific di ba? And further sabi nya, sabihin daw yan sa lahat. So sa lahat ng kahit na sinong magtatanong sa kanya ng ganyan. At tsaka di pa ba malinaw? Yun p#tang %na it was more of a sporadic expression lang. Kinda like when you say "p#tang %na, traffic nanaman!?". Or pano kng instead na p#tang %na sinabi nya, leche, or s@%t, or god damn it. lol!

 

Anyway, marunong ka naman managalog at magenglish. However you twist this one, malinaw na he did not call Obama a Son of a whore gaya nung nilagay sa headline ng ABS-CBN.

 

Ayos ba parekoy?

[lone23]

Duterte pa rin!

[daphne loves derby]

while everyone is so busy mocking P. Digong's inappropriate statements kay biglang naging senstitive na OBAMA, His cabinet keeps on performing and giving service to the people that the past admin failed to do so.. life goes on..

 

DOLE launches hotline for labor-related problems

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/580327/news/nation/dole-launches-hotline-for-labor-related-problems?utm_source=GMANews&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=GMANewsFacebook

 

"You can call us for anything. Pwedeng problema, pwedeng suggestion, pwedeng proposal, lalung-lalo na affecting yung mga salaries ng mga empleyado, yung mga kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan na migrant workers; yung mga underpaid na mga empleyado; yung meron kayong nalalaman na katiwalian na nangyayari dito sa aming departamento, tumawag po kayo sa 1349."

Domestic workers may call 1800-8888-1349 while international callers may use 800-8888-1349 for toll-free calls. Overseas callers may also call collect to avoid any fees.

Housed at the fourth floor of the DOLE building, the hotline facility will have 10 DOLE employees working per shift to ensure 24-hour support to callers whose calls will be tracked through an e-Recording and e-Tracking management system.

The DOLE 24/7 Hotline was established in response to President Rodrigo Duterte's order to all government agencies to create a hotline system to "communicate its services and program to their publics".

Bello expects OFWs to use the hotline the most due to the oil crisis in Saudi Arabia.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk. San ba kumukuha ng balita yan mga western media na yan? Di ba sa local din naman? Marunong ba yan sila managalog? So when you make headlines like "Duterte calls Obama a son of a whore", kahit hindi naman ganun pagkakasabi, napipick up ito ng western media at nagkakaroon ng maling interpretation ng balita. Gusto na nga nila isipin na genocide na daw ang nangyayari ngayon. As if yun mga local media outlets natin di man lang nagresearch kung ano ba ibig sabihin ng genocide at crimes against humanity. Para ngang tanga na bibilangin araw araw yun namamatay sa kampanya kontra droga, di naman ilalagay tamang context. Araw araw po me namamatay na Kriminal, that is for sure. So kahit hangang susunod na administrasyon aakyat at aakyat bilang na yan.

 

Wala kaming hinanakit po. Bakit kami magkakaroon ng hinanakit, eh kami nga nanalo di ba? Yun mga kandidato nyo na taon bago 2016 nagumpisa mangampanya nilampaso lang. Anong ihihinanakit namin? Hindi po eleksyon ang pinaguusapan dito. Ayan naman eh taken out of proper context. Ang pinaguusapan po dito, lahat ng pulitiko may nasasabing olats, at pwede yan palalain ng media, o pabutihin kung gugustuhin nila. On the other hand, pag same formula ng pagdiscredit gagamitin sa pinapaboran nyong mga pulitiko, eto lagi copout nyo. Na kesyo tapos na eleksyon sus.

 

Sana nga natulungan ni Mar yun mga nasa withdrawal stage na, pahirapan na hanap ng drugs. Baka naman kasi alam nya pa yun mga mabibilhan pa dyan. Tutal promise nya noon sasamhan nya mga ito lol...... Ok potshot lang po ng konti.... Peace!

‘Liberal America’ writer: Duterte cussing not directed at Obama

https://www.facebook.com/notes/presidential-communications-government-of-the-philippines/liberal-america-writer-duterte-cussing-not-directed-at-obama/1433561860006804

In the United States, an independent group dissected an accurate transcript of President Duterte’s Q&A with Reuters correspondent Jerome Morales and explained what Duterte said point by point.

‘Liberal America’ writer Nizza Gueco, admittedly not a Duterte fan, was concerned more about the implications of soured US-Philippine relations.

Gueco wrote in a column on the “Liberal America” website, “Lo and behold, my suspicions were true, the line that was cut from the video above wherein the President said “p#tang$na” was not even directed to President Obama, it was directed to the reporter who, according to the President, 'just threw questions and statements.'"

[daphne loves derby]

now this is interesting

 

Duterte to be sandwiched by Obama, Ban in ASEAN dinner

http://www.rappler.com/world/regions/asia-pacific/145488-philippines-duterte-obama-ban-asean-dinner-laos?utm_content=buffer10370&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

 

In a news release, the Philippine Office of the President said: "Presidents Duterte and Obama will be seated next to each other, which expectedly, will focus all cameras on them to deliver to the world the encounter of the two. Incidentally, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is also seated on the other side of President Duterte."

The gala dinner, hosted by Lao Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith, is taking place from 8 to 10 pm on Wednesday.

[Nemo Outis]

Binasa ko mabuti transcript nung sagot sa reporter. Hindi ko pa napapanood yun buong press con so feel free to correct me na lang. ...

 

Binasa ko transcript ng sagot, at basically, yun reporter ang minumura nya hindi naman si Obama mismo. Yun reporter sinermonan nya kasi masyadong nagpapaka-lap dog sa mga amerikano.

 

You said the reporter was being a lap dog of America. I don't know if we read the same transcript, but the quotes below are taken from the Malacanan press office official transcript:

 

Q: Sir, there have been concerns on extrajudicial killings, Sir, and you will meet leaders. Any line of communication that we have prepared to address this issue in front of other foreign leaders?

Duterte: Extrajudicial killings?

 

Q: Yes, human rights.

Duterte: To whom shall I address myself to and who will be asking the questions, may I know?

 

Q: Like Obama, Sir.

 

-- And this is were Duterte's tirade starts --

 

It seemed like a legitimate question to raise. The reporter didn't even bring up America or Obama, until Duterte asked. It is actually common knowledge (or at least to reporters who follow international relations, and to anyone who reads news from foreign media and not just local "yellow" press) that Obama had already previously mentioned that he would be bringing up that issue if and when he meets with Duterte. The reporter was actually showing awareness of goings-on related to the ASEAN summit by asking that question and when pressed by Duterte, by relating it to Obama. That's not being a lap dog, that's being a reporter.

 

Kung pakikingan ng tama yun gist ng sinabi ni Duterte, tama naman sya. Una sa lahat ang US ay may mahabang history ng pagiging bastos, at pakikialam sa mga bansang mas maliliit sa kanila. Akala nila sila na lang lagi pwede magdikta mga polisiya sa mga sovereign territories. Bukod pa dyan sila pa nga itong hindi pinapansin mga subpoena sa kanila ng UN. Noon di ba galit na galit tayo sa mga presidenteng Tuta ng kano?

 

Human rights ang gusto gawing issue. Pero anak ng patola o mas malala pa nga mga kaso ng police brutality sa US ata. Naalala nyo yun fruitvale station shooting? Yun Rodney King case? At ilang insidente ng pamamaril? Tapos tayo yun kelangan pa maging parang maamong puppy na magpapacute sa kanila?

 

You seem like a reasonably educated person, so you should understand that this is a straw man (with the added bonus of an ad hominem). Sure, the US likes to push its weight around and meddle in the affairs of other countries, but does that make Human Rights Violations or Extrajudicial Killings right?

 

Just because the US has its fair share of HRVs, doesn't mean it can't call another country out for not acting on or preventing the increase of HRVs or EJKs. It's like saying an acknowledged philandering womanizer can't call an unmarried woman immoral for having a boyfriend. Oops, wait. I think I remember something like that happened a few weeks ago.

 

Kaya lang (assuming na totoo sinasabi ko na hindi nya minura si Obama)

Sure, he probably didn't swear at Obama. But it does seem like he threatened to curse Obama in this quote from the same transcript:

 

Putang-ina, mumurahin kita diyan sa forum na iyan.

 

It doesn't seem addressed to the reporter. "Dyan sa forum na iyan." Was Duterte expecting that same reporter to ask him pointed questions at the upcoming forum (ASEAN summit)? Was that reporter even going to be at the ASEAN summit? Seems quite a stretch to think that this was directed at the reporter.

 

But here's the kicker (hehe). I wonder if we read the same transcript, but this seems very direct:

 

Sino pa? Hindi ako bilib diyan sa Amerika. Gusto mo sipain ko pa iyan sa harap mo eh.

 

Duterte may or may not have directly cursed Obama, but it looks like he just insulted the entire United States of America.

That's not being a lap dog, that's being a reporter.

 

The president wanted the question to be specific. Siguro kung sinagot ng reporter yun Filipino Community, iba ang naging sagot nya. Kung sinagot siguro yun mga world leaders na kakausapin nya ng personal, iba din naging sagot nya. So binigyan din ni Duterte ng specific na sagot itong reporter na ito. Yun lang. No need to overcomplicate this out of its intended proportion.

Tsk simple lang naman gusto sabihin ni Duterte. Kung me pananagutan sya, sa mga Pilipino yun. At hindi nya kelangan magisip o magaral ng mabuti ng maisasagot para lang matuwa ang isang Mr. Barack Obama. So pagsasabihan nila tayo tungkol sa HRV sa atin. Ok sige, ang taong tama ba yun data na nare-recieve nila? Tulad ng sinabi ko kung ang pinaguusapan lang dito ay pagbibilang ng namamatay na drug pusher kada araw, kahit umalis si duterte dadami pa din ito. Pangalawa, didiktahan tayo ng standards? Eh anong standards? Kung mas malala pa nga kaso ng police brutality sa kanila, at sila din daming problema sa HRV, yun ba talaga gusto natin sundin? Unless nga siguro na Cambodia sa pamumuno ni Pol Pot na sitwasyon sa pilipinas.

 

Now ito problema sa De Lima annalogy mo eh, yun bang mga kabit ni Duterte naging bagwomean nya ng drug money? Nakatira din ba sa mga mansion at maraming sasakyan? Kung ganun wala rin sya karapatan pagsabihan si De Lima. Totoo nya, manlalake si De Lima ng lahat ng gusto nya, pero kung me iba pang kalokohan na ganyan, ibang usapan na.

 

Long and the short is, respect that we are a sovereign nation. Ano ba tayo? Kaalyado o utusan?

 

 

 

Sure, he probably didn't swear at Obama. But it does seem like he threatened to curse Obama in this quote from the same transcript:

 

Putang-ina, mumurahin kita diyan sa forum na iyan.

 

It doesn't seem addressed to the reporter. "Dyan sa forum na iyan." Was Duterte expecting that same reporter to ask him pointed questions at the upcoming forum (ASEAN summit)? Was that reporter even going to be at the ASEAN summit? Seems quite a stretch to think that this was directed at the reporter.

 

But here's the kicker (hehe). I wonder if we read the same transcript, but this seems very direct:

 

Sino pa? Hindi ako bilib diyan sa Amerika. Gusto mo sipain ko pa iyan sa harap mo eh.

 

Duterte may or may not have directly cursed Obama, but it looks like he just insulted the entire United States of America.

 

 

 

There you go! He did not! It makes all the difference. Threatening to cuss is not the same as acutaly cussing the president of the US. That's where the buck stops.

 

Sana ang naging headline "Duterte threatens to cuss Obama or Anyone (kasi yun din naman sabi nya, kahit na sino daw) if asked offensive questions about EJK". Di balanse at totoo. A headline that reads "Duterte called Obama a son of a bitch", is irresponsible journalism.

 

Yun naman sisipain ang Amerika, that is an obvious figure of speech. Masissipa mo ba ng literal ang isang bansa sa harap ng kahit na sino? Duh! Ang simple lang naman ng gusto nya sabihin. Hindi nya gusto maging totoy totoy ni Obama o kahit kanino pang world leader (o baka pati yan, literal yun interpretation). ITong part na ito ng tirade addressed na ito sa audience at hindi sa Ameika. Pambihira tagalog na nga eh. Siguro naman hindi naman second language ng mga Amerikano Filipino di ba?
