Tapang at Malasakit. Isa sa Kapuwa, Isa sa Imperyalista

"Ang sabi ni Presidente, tinatalaga niya po ang inyong abang lingkod na makipag-debate kay retired justice Antonio Carpio, at tinanggap ko naman po ang pagtatalaga ni Presidente," said spokesperson Harry Roque. Which is a fancy way of saying…

"Duwag po ang ating Presidente kaya'y itinalaga niya nalang ako makipag-debate kay retired justice Antonio Carpio, at tinanggap ko naman po."

So he actually knows how to listen and accept advice? How about he listen and accept all the advice that his fellow countrymen are shouting before all this time?

Other foreign nations are making their moves in the West Philippine Sea like the US and the UK by sending their warships, while our own President, with a moniker of strongman and a campaign slogan called "Tapang at Malasakit" is currently cowering in front of those foreign nations.

Him calling China as a good friend while he disparages his local critics convinced me that his 'tapang' is only to his fellow Filipinos, and his 'malasakit' is only for foreign countries.

He also stated back in 2018 that he needs China and that he simply loves Xi Jin Ping. It seems like he loves the Chinese more tha

n he loves his country.

This situation is what we get for electing a jester, a clown. We get a circus.

Back in 2016, during a meeting in the CNN Philippines Town Hall, Duterte mentioned he would stop the expansion of China in the West Philippine Sea. But this Monday, he is suddenly claiming that he never promised to retake the West Philippines Sea during his campaign as President—a complete contradiction on what he said back in 2016. But, come to think of it, whether he promised anything or not, isn't it the President's duty to protect and retake what is ours? His hopeless attitude now is baffling when you watch his strongman comments during his election campaign.

Walang biro biro dito, walang 'bravado' or any stupid excuse you have in tackling this issue. It is time to own up to what persona you promised in 2016. If you can't gather enough courage to fight for your own countrymen and what is ours, at least have the courage in admitting this mistake of yours to save yourself from further embarrassment. Resign now!
