i feel that statement is a bit immature:

- afaik, the president in a democracy can't just abolish Congress willy nilly
- if Congress does get abolished, what would the resulting form of government be?

i'm by no means defending our current Senate/Congress btw

I like Duterte and what he's done with Davao, but I'm not sure he could apply the same tenacity nationwide.

Si Bayani Fernando grabe rin ang nagawa sa Marikina, pero nasunog lang din nung naging MMDA chairman.

Don't have anything against Duterte, but if does make it as President, he'll likely be impeached for his predisposition to violate the Constitution.

Like it or not, Congress is a creation of the Constitution and only an amendment or complete revision resulting in a change of form of government can it ever be abolished.

Agree. That is why as early as now, he is already stating what he will do (legal or illegal) thus left to the voters to decide. A mandate for him means a voter agree to what he will do once he get's elected.

another news on duterte.... he is not blaming the milf daw for what happened.
eh ano yun? he is leaning on these extremists to the point that he is at their side in terms of the interests of the country?
aside from the thing he said na bubuwagin ang congreso and papalitan ng parliamentary which he things is within the power of the president under the current constitution? unless he plans to also dissolve the consitution which makes him a dictator already?

turn off tuloy ako.

No, he doesn't have the power to abolish Congress. And that's probably the surefire way to get him kicked out of office, if he hasn't already been ousted by a military coup due to his fanboi sympathies with the reds and the MILF.

For those who don't know, whoever is elected President has to take this oath: "I, [name], do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will faithfully and conscientiously fulfill my duties as President of the Philippines, preserve and defend its Constitution, execute its laws, do justice to every man, and consecrate myself to the service of the Nation. So help me God."

From what Duterte is saying right now is that he cannot comply with such an oath. Dunno about you guys who support him, but that makes him unfit for the Presidency, plain and simple.

Anybody been getting the text surveys asking if Duterte should run for President? I got it at least thrice and in all instances responded "NO".

Ako "YES" ang sagot.

He will definitely be bounded by the Constitution, which a President should defend.

But he is warning everyone to get their acts together and all are aligned with their mandate, or face possible consequences within the bounds of the law.

Maayos lang ang Executive side of the government (1/3 of our system),- which is the implementation of our law,- with a little bit of a "favorable stretch" for the people,- the person in my book will be a good President.

Hindi ba't iyan ang gusto nating lahat???

Again,- if you are a law-abiding citizen,- then there should be nothing to fear. If you are a shady character in life and business,- then get your acts straight or face the law.

Sabi ko nga earlier,- sinubukan na natin ang iba't ibang tao,- housewife; militar; maka-masa; economist; daang "matuwid", but still we made little progress... IMO, it is high time for us to elect someone, who has proven in his little turf, how an executive should run his territory and support him in his bigger challenge of running our country.

And I do not know this Duterte. I am just a vote in several millions out there.

Bro,- si Bayani kasi, tinalo ng mga Metro Manila Mayors....

Hindi mga Mayors ang mga iyan,- mga HARI at REYNA ang mga iyan ng kanilang teritoryo.

Kung Presidente ang pinag-uusapang posisyon ng isang proven Executive,- dapa ang mga HARI at REYNA na iyan,- dahil ang Presidente ang kanilang boss,- or yari sila!

Political Will ang kailangan ng isang Presidente!

Tanong ko lang ulit,- Di ba iyan ang gusto nating lahat???
