Duterte’s inaugural speech: ‘The fight will be relentless, it will be sustained’

President Fidel Ramos, sir, salamat po sa tulong mo making me President; President Joseph Ejercito Estrada; Senate President Franklin Drilon and the members of the Senate; Speaker Feliciano Belmonte and the members of the House of Representatives; Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court; His Excellency Guiseppe Pinto and the members of the Diplomatic Corps; incoming members of the Cabinet; fellow workers in government; my fellow countrymen. [applause]

No leader, however strong, can succeed at anything of national importance or significance unless he has the support and cooperation of the people he is tasked to lead and sworn to serve.

It is the people from whom democratic governments draw strength and this administration is no exception. That is why we have to listen to the murmurings of the people, feel their pulse, supply their needs and fortify their faith and trust in us whom they elected to public office. [applause]

There are many amongst us who advance the assessment that the problems that bedevil our country today which need to be addressed with urgency, are corruption, both in the high and low echelons of government, criminality in the streets, and the rampant sale of illegal drugs in all strata of Philippine society and the breakdown of law and order. True, but not absolutely so. For I see these ills as mere symptoms of a virulent social disease that creeps and cuts into the moral fiber of Philippine society. I sense a problem deeper and more serious than any of those mentioned or all of them put together. But of course, it is not to say that we will ignore them because they have to be stopped by all means that the law allows.

Erosion of faith and trust in government – that is the real problem that confronts us. Resulting therefrom, I see the erosion of the people’s trust in our country’s leaders; the erosion of faith in our judicial system; the erosion of confidence in the capacity of our public servants to make the people’s lives better, safer and healthier. [applause]

Indeed ours is a problem that dampens the human spirit. But all is not lost.

I know that there are those who do not approve of my methods of fighting criminality, the sale and use of illegal drugs and corruption. They say that my methods are unorthodox and verge on the illegal. In response let me say this:

I have seen how corruption bled the government of funds, which were allocated for the use in uplifting the poor from the mire that they are in.

I have seen how illegal drugs destroyed individuals and ruined family relationships.

I have seen how criminality, by means all foul, snatched from the innocent and the unsuspecting, the years and years of accumulated savings. Years of toil and then, suddenly, they are back to where they started.

Look at this from that perspective and tell me that I am wrong.

In this fight, I ask Congress and the Commission on Human Rights and all others who are similarly situated to allow us a level of governance that is consistent to our mandate. The fight will be relentless and it will be sustained. [applause]

As a lawyer and a former prosecutor, I know the limits of the power and authority of the president. I know what is legal and what is not. [applause]

My adherence to due process and the rule of law is uncompromising.[applause]

You mind your work and I will mind mine. [applause and cheers]

“Malasakit;” “Tunay na Pagbabago; Tinud-anay (real) nga Kausaban(change)” [applause] – these are words which catapulted me to the presidency. These slogans were conceptualized not for the sole purpose of securing the votes of the electorate. “Tinud-anay nga kabag-uhan (real change). Mao kana ang tumong sa atong pang-gobyerno (this is the direction of our government).” [applause]

Far from that. These were battle cries articulated by me in behalf of the people hungry for genuine and meaningful change. But the change, if it is to be permanent and significant, must start with us and in us. [applause]

To borrow the language of F. Sionil Jose, we have become our own worst enemies. And we must have the courage and the will to change ourselves.

Love of country, subordination of personal interests to the common good, concern and care for the helpless and the impoverished – these are among the lost and faded values that we seek to recover and revitalize as we commence our journey towards a better Philippines. [applause] The ride will be rough. But come and join me just the same. Together, shoulder to shoulder, let us take the first wobbly steps in this quest.

There are two quotations from revered figures that shall serve as the foundation upon which this administration shall be built.

“The test of government is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide for those who have little.”

- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

[applause]

And from (Abraham) Lincoln I draw this expression:

“You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong; You cannot help the poor by discouraging the rich; You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer; You cannot further the brotherhood by inciting class hatred among men.”

[applause]

My economic and financial, political policies are contained in those quotations, though couched in general terms. Read between the lines. I need not go into specifics now. They shall be supplied to you in due time.

However, there are certain policies and specifics of which cannot wait for tomorrow to be announced.

Therefore, I direct all department secretaries and the heads of agencies to reduce requirements and the processing time of all applications, [applause] from the submission to the release. I order all department secretaries and heads of agencies to remove redundant requirements and compliance with one department or agency, shall be accepted as sufficient for all. [applause]

I order all department secretaries and heads of agencies to refrain from changing and bending the rules government contracts, transactions and projects already approved and awaiting implementation. [applause] Changing the rules when the game is on-going is wrong.

I abhor secrecy and instead advocate transparency [applause] in all government contracts, projects and business transactions from submission of proposals to negotiation to perfection and finally, to consummation.

Do them and we will work together. [applause] Do not do them, we will part sooner than later. [applause]

On the international front and community of nations, let me reiterate that the Republic of the Philippines will honor treaties and international obligations. [applause]

On the domestic front, my administration is committed to implement all signed peace agreements in step with constitutional and legal reforms.

I am elated by the expression of unity among our Moro brothers and leaders, and the response of everyone else to my call for peace.

I look forward to the participation of all other stakeholders, particularly our indigenous peoples, to ensure inclusivity in the peace process. [applause]

Let me remind in the end of this talk, that I was elected to the presidency to serve the entire country. I was not elected to serve the interests of any one person or any group or any one class. I serve every one and not only one. [applause]

That is why I have adapted as an article of faith, the following lines written by someone whose name I could no longer recall. He said:

“I have no friends to serve, I have no enemies to harm.” [applause]

Prescinding therefrom, I now ask everyone, and I mean everyone, to join me as we embark on this crusade for a better and brighter tomorrow.

But before I end, let me express the nations, on behalf of the people, our condolences to the Republic of Turkey of what has happened in the place. We offer our deepest condolences.

Why am I here? Hindi kasali ito diyan. [laughs] The past tense was, I am here because I love my country and I love the people of the Philippines. I am here, why? Because I am ready to start my work for the nation. [applause]

Thank you and good afternoon.

Drilon bill gives Duterte extra powers to solve Metro traffic

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/793669/drilon-files-bill-giving-duterte-extra-powers-to-solve-metro-traffic

 

aking the first step towards solving debilitating traffic jams in Metro Manila and other key cities, reelected Senator Franklin Drilon on Friday filed a bill granting President Rodrigo Duterte emergency powers to solve the transportation crisis.

Drilon’s Senate Bill No. 11, or the “Transportation Crisis Act of 2016,” would grant Duterte the power to use alternative methods of procurement for “the construction, repair, rehabilitation, improvement or maintenance of transportation projects” that would reduce traffic congestion.

The senator said the bill, if approved, will give the executive emergency powers for two years.

Unang pangakong napako

Kung ayaw ng Congress I will start progressively. Para walang satsat, walang yakyak, day one, basta pataas na, huwag na pabalik kasi magulo yan (If Congress refuses to pass such a law, I will start on it progressively). Let’s cut to the chase. From day one, although this will not be retroactive since ordering so will create a very chaotic situation. FOI, I will impose it on my department, executive department,” he told reporters on May 10, as he led the partial, unofficial presidential count of the Commision on Elections.

"Kung ayaw ng Congress, I will start with this progressively. Para walang satsat, walang yakyak, Day One, Freedom of Information, I will impose it on my department, the executive department," he said.

"Unahan ko na. I will issue an executive order. Hindi na kailangan ng batas... Media and everybody else is welcome to dig deep into the papers," he added.

Now how often do we see something like this? Pagkatapos manumpa, yung mga nagrarally imbes ipagtabuyan, iwater cannon, at paluin sa ulo, pinapasok ng malacanang, pinakain, at hinarap mismo ng bagong presidente. Duterte deserves kudos for this. It is a step in the right direction.

 

At kayo naman mga aktibista kayo, sana naman patunayan nyo ngayon na me magagawa kayong matino bukod sa sigaw sa kalye. Tumulong naman sana kayo for a change. Ayan ha! Hinarap kayo ng presidente. At yun iba nabigyan pa ng pwesto. Ayusin mo Lisa Maza ha! Prove na di ka lang puro satsat at batikos sa gobyerno. Gamitin mo yang pondo mo para maraming matulungan ahensya mo at hindi para pondohan mga rally na yan

Kaya nga, tulad ng sinasabi ko, itong mga Kritiko mas gusto nila sumablay ang bagong presidente para me maisumbat sila dito.

 

Si Carlos Celdran nga gumawa na ng online petition para magresign na si Duterte. O dali pirma na kayo dyan. Gawan nyo na ng impreachment complaint.

Everything mentioned in the previous matitinong posts, sama akong sampu jan.

 

3. I am waiting not only for you to fukc up, kungdi pati sina Villar and yung Tourism secretary, even Gina Lopez, sige na nga yung entire cabinet mo na. So that I can pounce on you gleefully and with the same enthusiasm I greeted every outrageous statement you made.Please, don't give me that pleasure.

 

More to come.

 

Ok after reading your post dun sa Dear Digong, lemme retract and rephrase

 

Ang hirap talaga kasi sa iba dyan, imbes gustuhin magtagumpay liderato ni Duterte, para bang mas inaantay pa nila ito sumabit. Bakit pag sumabit ba sya sino magbabayad nito? Taong bayan din di ba?

 

Huwag kasi puro reklamo at sumbat. Wala mangyayari sa atin kung puro tayo crab mentality

Edmund Dantes, I voted for Duterte not because I am a fan or supporter but because he most represented the change I wanted to see in government. It's not about wanting to see him fail, because we all lose then, but he set up expectations so high, he has no option but to deliver. I am all for that and I will help him achieve reduced drug and crime affectation in 6 months, not only because I work in the field but also because it is a personal advocacy I am passionate about.

 

 

hellyeah, hindi po, maling-mali ka. Ang naghatid kay Duterte sa Malacanang is the force of 16 million people who puke at the thought of six more years of Daang Matuwid.

 

Tama po kayo maam hindi lang yun pangako ang nagdala sa kanya sa malacanang. Kasi kung pangako lang, di dapat panalo na si Binay kasi sya yun madaming magagandang pangako. Ultimo viagra at diaper libre na. Me cake ka pa sa birthday mo. O di san ka pa?

 

All this time we wanted a leader that truly represented us common people. Not some elite haciendero who tries to be "makamasa". O kaya yun pilit na ibebenta yun sarili na dating mahirap pero ilang dekada naman na nabubuhay na parang hari. Duterte is relatable. He reflects the peoples frustration with current leadership. Puro mga bulaklaking pananalita pero di naman nararamdaman ng tao na me gobyernong kumakatawan sa kanila. Duterte is a commoner. Kilos, salita, pati bahay ay parang yun satin din halos. Kumakain din sa karinderiya ng walang kyeme. I think ito ang nagpapanalo kay Duterte more than his promises. Its the same reason din bakit si Leni naman nanalo na vice president.

 

Now lets be real about the 3-6 months promise. Lets face it, at some point us who gave him a vote doubted this is attainable or even possible. Ano sya superman? Pero tulad ng sabi ko lahat naman ng pulitiko mangangako eh. Ang tanong na lang, makikita ba natin at the very least na subukang tuparin ito? Well nakita natin, mataas morale ng mga pulis natin at masisipag sila ngayon. Kaliwat kanan din hulihan. But will this be enough? Maybe not.

 

But think about it. Even though they fail trying, for sure me maganda ng ma-acomplish ito di ba? Kung sablay eh di aralin kung ano pa magagawa tapos subukan ulit. And by setting the bars high you at least give them a reason to work really hard. Kesa naman you set low expectations tapos kuntento na dun, eh di tama, daang matuwid na lang tayo ulit kung ganun din lang.

It's like this, eh, I read this in my Fb news feed, which I trust more since my friends have brains:

 

Duterte: Witweeeeeewwwww!!!

 

Media: Nag-catcall !!!! Boooo!!!

 

Duterte: Bibigyan tayo ng SoKor ng ayuda ksi they trust the incoming admin na.

 

Media: Nag-catcall !!!! Booooo!!!

 

Duterte: Eto ang 11-point economic reform agenda ko.

 

Media: Nag-catcall !!!! Booooo!!!!

 

Duterte: Sumuko mga NPA sa Mindanao pati high-powered FAs nila.

 

Media: Nag-catcall !!! Boooo!!!

 

Duterte: Siyanga pala, namboso ako nung elementary.

 

Media: OMG!!!! Tell us more, you pervert!!!

 

Well puntos naman talaga critics dito sa catcalling na ito. He should not have done that. Kung sinampal sya ni Mariz Umali, then he deserved that.

 

But does this mean already he wont be an effective leader?

 

Well JFK is a sex addict. Pag walang sex yan sa isang araw nagkakamigraine yan pero isa sa naging pinakamahusay na US president.

 

Just saying

The 3 Generals have been named (actually he named 5 tho he said only 3 nung campaign), and no other than Sen. Lacson backed this statement.

 

Lacson has no doubt on Duterte’s info on 5 generals

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/794437/lacson-has-no-doubt-on-dutertes-info-on-5-generals

 

In text messages, Lacson said during the campaign period he heard from former subordinates in the defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force, who at the time were seriously involved in anti-drug operations in their areas, the names of the two police generals.

He declined to identify the two police generals as he had not validated the information.

 

” All I’m saying is, since the President himself mentioned those two names among the five, he must have good basis in what he divulged, especially if he had a different source of that information,” Lacson said.

Lets see what comes next after this..
