Kaya si Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte ay mura ng mura dahil gustong-gusto yan ng mga tagahanga niya. Mas malutong ang “Putang Ina” mas malakas ang palakpak.

Nang sinundan namin ang kanyang rally noong Biyernes sa Parañaque, Las Piñas at Muntinlupa, nabingi ako sa santambak na putang ina na narinig namin. Hindi lang putang ina ang bukambibig niya. Merong ulol, tanga, gaga (kay dating Justice Secretary Leila de Lima), bayot (kay Liberal Party standard bearer Mar Roxas), buang.

Gustong-gusto ng mga tagahanga niya. Sigaw pa nila: “Mura pa more!”

Kapag manalo siguro si Duterte, putang ina ang maging pambansang sigaw ng bayan.

Naisip ko kaya siguro tuwang-tuwa ang mga tao kasi kapag nagpuputang-ina si Duterte, parang sila na rin ang nagmumura sa mga kriminal, mga nagbibenta ng ilegal na droga, at mga korap na mga taong nasa kapangyarihan.

Sabi niya nang una siyang mayor ng Davao, magulo ang siyudad at hindi natatakot sa batas at sa awtoridad ang mga kriminal. “Sa unang taon, wala na akong ginawa kungdi pumatay ng mga putang inang drug lords.” Palakpak.

Sabi niya ang iba umalis ng Davao. Ang hindi umalis ng Davao, “Yun, patay na.” Palakpakan ang mga tao.

Sabi niya kapag siya ang magiging presidente, sabihin niya sa mga putang inang korap na mga mambabatas na walang pork barrel. Kung ayaw nila, “isasara ko yan (ang Kongreso). Susunugin ko yan.” Palakpak ang mga tao.

Ngunit may isang hindi natuwa sa mga mura ni Duterte. Sa exhibit na inurganisa ng National Association of Independent Travel Agencies, sinabi ni Duterte ang kanyang pangako ng sa loob ng tatlo hanggang anim na buwan linisin niya ang Pilipinas ng mga kriminal, mga druglords, at mga korap.

Sabi niya kahit anong ganda ng Pilipinas, kung naglilipana ang iligal na droga, hindi natin mahihikayat ang mga taga-ibang bansa na pumunta dito dahil baka makidnap pa yan at ma-rape.

Binigay niya bilang halimbawa ang Mexico kung saan malakas ang drug cartel. “Bakit ka pupunta sa Mexico with all the kidnappings ang killings there?”

Ang problema lang, kasama sa mga panauhing pandangal ay ang ambassador ng Mexico na si Julio Camarena Villaseñor na bago dumating si Duterte ay nagpakita pa ng video kung gaano kaganda ang kanyang bansa at hinikayat ang mga Pilipino na pumunta sa Mexico.

Sabi pa nga ng ambassador hindi kailangan ang visa papuntang Mexico kung meron kang U.S. Schengen o Japan visa.

Tumawa ng medyo napahiya ang lahat sa sinabi ni Duterte. Hindi natawa ang ambassador.

Sinenyasan ng kanyang bise-presidente na si Alan Cayetano si Duterte na nandyan ang Mexican ambassador. Kumambyo naman bigla at sinabing, hindi lang naman daw Mexico ang ganung kaso. “Pwede ring Russia, Egypt…”

Pagkatapos ng program, pinutakte ng mga reporter si Ambassador Villasenor na halatang naalibadbaran na sa kanya ang atensyun.

Dinepensahan niya ang kanyang bansa, siyempre.Sabi niya ligtas ang mga turista sa Mexico. “Mexico is a very safe country and yes, we fight a war against international crime.”

Tinanong si Duterte kung hihingi siya ng paumanhin sa Mexican ambassador. Sagot niya: “Bakit ako mag-apologize. Sa diyaryo naman yan araw-araw.”

Yan ang style Duterte.

What happens if winner in May elections is disqualified?

Of the eight presidential candidates that the Commission on Elections approved to be listed in the ballots for the May 9, 2016 elections, two are facing disqualification cases: Grace Poe and Rodrigo Duterte.

The eight names that Comelec said would be in the ballots are: Jojo Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA); Miriam Defensor Santiago of the People’s Reform Party (PRP); Rody Duterte of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban); Mel Mendoza of Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP); Grace Poe, independent;Mar Roxas of Daang Matuwid Liberal Party (LP); Roy Señeres of Partido ng Mangagawa at Magsasaka Workers (WPPPMM); and Dante Valencia,independent.

Printing of the ballots will start on Feb. 1 although Senate President Franklin Drilon, an LP stalwart, is asking the poll body to delay it and wait for the resolution of the disqualification cases being heard by the Supreme Court.

The disqualification cases against Poe allege that she is not a natural-born Filipino citizen because, being a foundling, her parents are unknown and that she lacks the required Philippine residency of 10 years before the May 9 elections.

Duterte’s disqualification case centers on the validity of his substitution,Martin Diño, who withdrew his confused candidacy (he wanted to file a certificate of candidacy for president but the form that he used was for mayor of Pasay City) before the Comelec declared him a nuisance candidate.

Comelec is reported to be cool to Drilon’s request to wait for the SC decision before printing the ballots.
Now, what happens if the winner in the May 9 polls is the one facing disqualification cases and the High Court decided that he or she is not qualified?

Take the case of Poe. What happens if Poe wins and the Supreme Court decides that she is not qualified to run for president?
Lawyer Harry Roque, who is aiming for a seat in the House of Representative through the partylist group, Kabayan, said the crucial factor is proclamation.

If the Supreme Court decided before Poe is proclaimed that she is not qualified to become president, the candidate with the second highest number of votes will be proclaimed president. If Poe is number one and Binay is number two, Binay becomes president. If Duterte is number two, then it’s Duterte who will be president. If it’s Roxas, then Roxas will realize his dream of becoming president.

Now, if Poe has already been proclaimed winner of the 2016 elections, the cases against her becomes the jurisdiction of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal composed of all the Supreme Court justices.

No problem if PET declared her qualified. She goes on with her presidency.

But if the PET declared her disqualified, the elected and proclaimed vice- president becomes president.

In the latest survey of the Social Weather Stations, Poe’s running mate, Chiz Escudero, is leading the vice-presidential race but Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., running mate of Santiago, is fast catching up.

A Marcos presidency in 2016 is not totally out of the picture.

This is a very interesting elections.

Sampalan match: Mar vs Duterte

Duterte vs Mar

Duterte vs Mar

Tama. Huwag na yung mga presidential debate na yan. Sampalan na lang. Mas exciting pa.

Sino kaya ang pwede mag-organisa nito. Hindi siguro mahirap maghanap ng sponsor dahil sigurado maraming manonood nito.

Sa isang korner ay ang Liberal Party presidential candidate na si Mar Roxas at sa kabilang korner naman si Rodrigo Duterte, ang kandidato ng PDP-Laban.

Pwedeng gawing so MOA Arena. Hindi pwede sa Araneta Colisuem at pag-aari yan ng pamilya ng nanay ni Roxas. Magkakaroon ng hometown decision.

Kunin na judges ay ang tatlo pang kandidato sa pagka-presidente na sina Grace Poe, Jojo Binay at Roy Señeres. Ang referee si Miriam Santiago, isa ring presidential candidate.

Paano ba napunta sa sampalan ang kampanya para sa pagka-presidente sa Election 2016?

Nagsimula yan sa sinabi ni Roxas na ang pinagyayabang ni Duterte na “safest city” ang Davao ay hindi totoo. “Myth” o kuwento lang na nalipat-lipat at akala ng marami ay totoo.

Duterte with gun face right2Siyempte umalma si Duterte. Binanatan niya si Mar tungkol sa palpak sa Tacloban noong bayong Yolanda. At sinabi niya ang “myth” ay ang sinabi ni Roxas na graduate siya ng Wharton School of Economics- isang sikat na eskwelahan sa Amerika.Maroxas Mr bawang

“You did not graduate from the Wharton School of Economics, Mr. Roxas. Your name is not on the list of those who graduated from a four or five-year degree courses, ask Wharton.” Duterte said.

Pwede sigurong nag-aral siya doon gn tatlong buwan o correspondence course lang ngunit hindi yung apat na taon ay nag-graduate na naka-toga.

Sabi ni Duterte, kung magalit si Roxas sa kanyang mga sinabi, “sampalin ko siya.”

Aba, pinatulan ni Roxas si Duterte at noong Lunes nang tinanong siya ng mga reporter, ang sabi niya:
“Sampalin niya ako. Punta siya dito. Kung hindi, punta ako doon sa Davao, sampalin niya ako sa airport, tingnan natin.”

Dagdag pa ni Roxas: “Ganito, magsampalan nalang kami. Kung hindi totoo ang Wharton degree ko, sampalin mo ako. Hindi ako iiwas or iilag. Pero kung totoo yung Wharton degree ko, sasampalin kita.”

Sabi pa ni Roxas ang pa-macho-macho ni Duterte ay yabang lang at ang kinakaya-kaya niya ay yung mga taong wala sa kapangyarihan. Wala naman akong kilalang malaking tao na na sinampal niya, lahat maliliit, mga walang kalaban-laban.”

“Subukan natin, tingnan natin,” hamon ni Mar.

Sige. Umpisahan na ang pustahan.

When Duterte took on Pope Francis

Living up to his macho image of a crime buster that discriminates no one, in Tagalog, “walang sinasanto,” Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte took on the well-loved Pope Francis whose arrival in the Philippines last January caused him to be stuck in traffic he had to pee in his car.

Last Monday at his declaration as PDP-Laban presidential candidate in lieu of former barangay captain Martin Diño, who filed his certificate of candidacy for president last Oct. 16 but withdrew later as the the poll body included him in the list of nuisance candidates (the Comelec has yet to decide on Duterte’s substitution of Diño), Duterte was in his element spewing “P..I” in abandon, according to news reports.

He cursed traffic in Metro Manila. He related his ordeal last January: “From the hotel to the airport, alam mo inabot kami ng… limang oras. Sabi ko bakit? Sabi pinasarado daw.” A friend told him that the road closure and the traffic jams were due to the arrival of Pope Francis.

He told the adoring crowd: ” Gusto kong tawagan, ‘Pope, p.. I.. ka, umuwi ka na. ‘Wag ka nang bumisita dito.”

The video clip of the speech showed his supporters laughing enjoying the mayor’s story.

Not all cheered him. One of those who found his tirade against the Pope offensive was Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.

Villegas said,” When a revered and loved and admired man like Pope Francis is cursed by a political candidate and the audience laugh, I can only bow my head and grieve in great shame. My countrymen has gone to the dregs.”

In a statement, Villegas warned against persons who kill people and indulges in adultery, which Duterte takes pride of having done and is still doing: “What the world desperately needs now is leadership by example. We have so many leaders in office and many more aspiring to sit in office but are they examples of good citizenship? If the leaders we choose are to be leaders for national progress they must be visionaries and exemplary.

“Corruption is indeed a great scourge of Philippine politics.

“The usual face of corruption that we recognize easily is stealing from public funds. Corruption, like a monster, is a devil with many faces. Killing people is corruption. Killing is a crime and a sin whether it is done by criminals or public officials no matter what the intention.

“Adultery is corruption. It makes married love cheap and uses people for pleasure. Adultery corrupts the family; it destroys children and victimizes the weak. Vulgarity is corruption. When we find vulgarity funny, we have really become beastly and barbaric as a people.”

“Is this the leadership by example that Mayor Duterte excites in us? Is this the leadership by example that makes a public official deserving of the title ‘Honorable’? I grieve for my country….!, “ Villegas lamented.

Former North Cotabato mayor Manny Piñol, a Duterte supporter tried to contain the damage, saying what the mayor said “ was merely an expression that comes almost naturally from Duterte’s mouth and peppers almost all of his public discourses.”

Yesterday, Duterte said he will contact Pope Francis. “I would address myself to the highest hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. If you think I have offended — which, in the first place, I never really meant to do it — kung hindi ninyo ako mapatawad, the hierarchy o yung Vatican, sabihin ninyo: ‘We are offended and we demand that you withdraw from the presidential contest.’ And I will tomorrow withdraw. Walang problema ‘yan.”

Of course, the Pope would not tell him that. So mura pa more.
