Digong, The President

[knorr]

I was emotionally affected while watching this video...
President Duterte Cries Over Parents Tomb asking for guidance - YouTube

marami ring umiyak ng mapanood nila yan bro. hindi lang pinapahalata. buti nalang nakapag pigil din ako. this is a sad-happy moment na sa tingin ko nag wish si digong na sana buhay pa nanay soling nya at inabutan yung pagiging pangulo nya. realization na rin siguro, kung gano kabigat ang hamon na haharapin nya. pasan nya kasi ang buong pilipinas. mas maging magaan sana kung tutulungan sya ni poe at roxas, kagaya ng sinabi nila sa concession.

I'm feeling so down. I can't accept a Duterte and Marcos government I hope I can leave the country soon

WTF? Umiyak din kayo because Digong cried? Mar, Grace, Jejomar or Miriam would've cried as well if one of them won

If you watch House of Cards, the President-elect also went to his father's grave to "cry". It's a timeless script, people.

Si Binay din daw umiyak.... kasi kulungan na ang bagsak... IF Digong will really go for big fish and not only small fry. Let's see.

On a lighter note:

Watching too many teleserye will soften the heart.

My wife cries easily at any scenes that hurt a fly but she smirked and whispered an expletive when she saw digong crying and kissing the tomb.

let's give it to him.
the crying part was brought about by gratitude to his parents for the success that he achieved and regret that they were not there anymore to share that success with him.
anybody who felt he succeeded however mundane it might be shed a tear or cried a thousand rivers at one time or another in his life even if he thinks he is that strong and beyond crying.

if Robredo wins. and if we to believe their stunt last year. Both our president and vice president doesn't want the position when people are convincing then. Although Duterte were convinced by the people and grace poe issue. Leni is convinced by LP.

Ewan ko pero lets see kung pano mamuno ang mga taong hindi hayok sa kapangyarihan.

You have a point bro. My wife though is one of the cebuanas who are not impressed with Duterte's pronouncements esp on the rape issue and how he treats women. Her comment was, if you love your mother that much, how could you treat women as objects and publicly humiliate them?

yes, bro, digong and his handlers (especially father evasco and pastor quiboloy) basically understand the psyche of the greater number of the electorate that it is better to be authentic most of the time than politically correct all of the time. and that was their theme or message throughout the campaign. the "bobotante" (like kagalingan) took the bait like a hungry fish.

New faces, top names from previous governments eyed for Duterte Cabinet

By: Doris Dumlao-Abadilla, May 11th, 2016 11:06 AM


MANILA — How will the next Cabinet look like under a Duterte presidency? Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte, the unorthodox mayor of Davao City who is bound to occupy Malacañang, is now drawing up a list of potential Cabinet members from his core team as well as soliciting suggestions for new names.

The goal is to build a “powerhouse of experienced and competent” leaders to run the next administration, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer sources.

Duterte earlier said he might appoint Jesus Dureza as the presidential peace adviser and Carlos “Sonny” Dominguez to head the finance or transportation portfolio.

Businessman Tomas Alcantara of the Alsons Group, former trade undersecretary, had likewise been mentioned.

Sources close to the Duterte’s core group said the Cabinet could also include Leoncio Evasco Jr., mayor of Maribojoc town in Bohol province who was also Duterte’s campaign manager for this presidential bid.

Evasco, a former priest, is a highly trusted ally of Duterte and is likewise described as an excellent manager, one who has the potential to be an executive secretary. After a raid on his convent in Catigbian by soldiers in 1974, he joined the underground Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People’s Army.

For the position of budget secretary, one potential contender is lawmaker Isidro Ungab, who is finishing his third term as Davao City’s 3rd legislative district. He chaired the House committee of appropriations and timely passed the national budget during his term. A farmer and businessman, he used to be a banker (Northern Mindanao Development Bank) and consultant at the Asian Development Bank.

Likewise among those floated to likely join the Duterte administration is former presidential aspirant Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro who handled the defense portfolio under the term of President Macapagal-Arroyo. Teodoro was not part of the Duterte campaign group but has been recommended to join the Cabinet, sources said. A cousin of outgoing President Aquino, Teodoro had an unsuccessful presidential bid in 2010, losing to Aquino. Teodoro was mentored by business tycoon Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco – who himself had run for president – but the two had a falling out.

He was a lawmaker representing Tarlac’s first district and had gone to Harvard Law School.

“Duterte always had great respect for Gibo and wanted to support Gibo2010,” said one source, who noted that Teodoro and Duterte had met last week.

Teodoro completed his Bachelor of Science in Commerce, major in Financial Institutions at the De La Salle University in 1984. In 1989, he completed his Law studies at the University of the Philippines where he was awarded the Dean’s Medal for Academic Excellence. In the same year, he topped the Philippine Bar exams. He went to the Harvard Law School in Cambridge for his Master of Laws and completed it in 1997. He was admitted to the State Bar of New York during the same year.

Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr., retired Chief of Staff, is also among those being considered to join the Duterte Cabinet. A PMA graduate (Class ’74), Esperon, headed the Army’s 602nd Infantry Brigade in 2000 to 2001, leading the all-out war against Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels in Mindanao.

Paul Dominguez, who heads Alcantara & Sons, is also among those whose names are being floated. Duterte’s aide de camp Christopher Go, spokesperson Peter Laviña and running mate Alan Cayetano are also expected to be part of, if not influential, in building the Duterte Cabinet, according to other sources.

But everything remains fluid to date as Duterte wants more candidates. The mayor was advised to finalize his prospective Cabinet early on when he started leading pre-election surveys but he had refused to do so until victory appeared imminent.

Also I think Tugade would be a good addition to his team. Heard the guy spoke about his achievements in Clark, Pampanga and I was impressed. Of course nagmura din infront of the CEOs of big semicon companies.

koko is the party president of pdp-laban and placed 1st in the bar (although sometimes he doesn't talk or think like a topnotcher), so it goes without saying it. but, personally, sana si pakyaw na lang para mahiyang mag absent at para mag-aral araw-araw.

geraldine roman of bataan will be the next speaker of the house. digong fights for the right of LGBTs.

If you watch House of Cards, the President-elect also went to his father's grave to "cry". It's a timeless script, people.

Frank Underwood even hated his father in real life. All for show, indeed.

Frank Underwood: [at his father's grave] Hey, pop. Been awhile. Did you see that motorcade pull up? It's the first time that the President of the United States has visited Gaffney. Can you believe it?

[to audience] Oh, I wouldn't be here if I had a choice, but I have to do these sorts of things now. Makes me seem more human, and you have to be a little human when you're the president. He couldn't even afford his own gravestone. I paid for it, out of my own scholarship money from the Sentinel. Nobody showed up at his funeral, except me. Not even my mother. I'll tell you this, though, pop: When they bury me, it won't be in my backyard, and when they come to pay their respects, they'll have to wait in line.

[He unzips and urinates on the grave]
