I am not anti-Duterte, I am pro-Philippines. I don't call out Duterte to bring him down, but rather to hold him accountable for his grandiose promises of a better country.
Just to get it over with, yes, I also called out PNoy for poor showing as a statesman during the Luneta hostage crisis.
I also called out PNoy for his refusal to give Purisima the spanking he deserved, simply because Purisima has been a long-time family ally.
I also called out the administration for their lack of empathy and poor choice of words when addressing the victims and the general public regarding the laglag bala issue.
I am not an Aquino or LP apologist, I acknowledged and have called out their shortcomings, yet I also gave them credit where it was due.
Now, I am expecting much more from Duterte; he himself said that change is coming, and I am watching closely what kind of change this is.
While he has not even officially taken his seat as President of the Philippines, he is already off to a bad start. Among his actions that are alarming to me are:
1. His old boys club cabinet, filled with GMA's people, political accommodations/conflicts of interest (hi Mark Villar), and downright questionable choices (hi Sal Panelo). However, to be fair, the leftist representation and some of his other choices are promising.
2. His uncouth behavior. He claims he will undergo metamorphosis by June 30, but his behavior has been consistent all throughout the campaign period until today - it's evident that his brashness, lack of behavior, blatant disregard for checks and balances, and inability to see world views other than his own are all hardwired into his personality. I am not naive to think that he can change all this in a blink of an eye (nor do I see him trying), but there's nothing to do but hope for the better.
3. His stand on Marcos. He has expressed that he is an outright supporter, and that they go way back with the Marcos family. It's okay not to give Leni a cabinet position, but it's not okay if your reasoning is because you don't want to hurt BBM's feelings. Especially when your past statements have hurt many other people's feelings (DDS victims, Martial Law victims, women, etc). He is inadvertently supporting historical revisionism and allowing the dilution of the terrors of the Marcos regime by expressing his approval to bury FM Sr. at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani.
4. He says he is against corruption, but appears to only be against small-time corruption. While he lambasts corrupt policemen and journalists, he is disturbingly quiet about the corruption of the Marcos family. He is also surprisingly friendly to GMA (willing to give her a pardon), and has not uttered a word regarding the prosecution of Binay for his theft in Makati. And along with showing no empathy whatsoever for the journalists killed in Maguindanao, he has also been silent about getting the Ampatuans convicted - and his choice for Panelo as spokesperson speaks volumes about how this case is going to go.
Voicing my disappointment with his words and actions prior to his proclamation doesn't mean that I wish for him to fail. In fact, I want him to do a good job as president, because it means that the Philippines will be in a better place 6 years from now. And for him to do a good job, we should be vocal when he does something wrong. As the leader of a democracy, he should learn to listen to his governed, and make sure that all his actions are geared for the benefit of the majority of Filipinos, and not just his buddies.

You can change a system or a process but you cannot change an attitude or a behavior. I wouldnt hold my breath in this promise metamorphosis. Caterpillar to a butterfly? He is too old for a butterfly...moth maybe.

para sa mga nagbabalak umalis ng Pinas, wala din kasi si Trump ang Presidente ng Amerika, so given all of this, what is the message of God to Filipinos particularly mga coniotic Filipinos, ibig sabihin paparusahan na kayo sa lifestyle nyo. reading and studying walking internet all day tapos sobrang galing sobrang smart so he sent digong and trump to all of you, para ma-terrorize minds nyo na why is this happening? is this normal? two presidents saying stupid things and somehow, natutuwa pa mga tao. so pano na kayo na mga logical and factual-based? yan ang na-feel ko noon so I am mending my ways para kayo na lang maparusahan kasi ilalaban nyo yan ng husto, imprisoning your heads, not being able to move coz hindi perfect ang surroundings, ako accept the mindsets of Du30 followers , I feel so free!
juts, alam ko na kung bakit ganyan na lang burden mo sa sarili kasi isa ka sa mga tao na naniniwala na we are meant to live her to enjoy life, retire, have a good retirement budget, enjoy. ako Kasi I just found out that we are sent here to challenge ourselves, I don't care for order and governments anymore, re: them becoming ok for us to be ok, because that is not our purpose to have perfect or peaceful or happy lives. We are sent here to test our souls kung kaya natin ang afterlife. so don't pressure yourself if the government of FVR, GMA, Pnoy and Du30 does not meet your standards. chances are it doesn't have anything to do with God's plan for you. prepare for your personal test bro. the reason why you are feeling somehow parang unmotivated or unchallenged is yun na nga, we were not sent here to buy cars and houses and internet and eat out nor travel. we have to face that challenge that is for us, that adversity that will make us realise who we are
so don't be afraid of Du30, whether martial law comes or whether things will become worst now because of her attitude. accept the challenge of Du30 because he is God-given. live your life pa din
Anti-intellectualism na pala trip mo ngayon. You were more amusing when you kept your antics to PPV-bashing and CUV-fanboyism.
Anyway, make sure that you don't derail this thread through trolling that baits other members. Alam mo na kasunod niyan. [emoji6]

Hay mangtotroll ka nalang, mali pa. My happiness doesn't depend on who's president. [emoji5]
Masaya ako sa buhay ko, kahit si Duterte pa presidente. Mas masaya siguro kung maging first-world country yung Pilipinas in my lifetime, but even then, my happiness doesn't depend on that aspiration coming true.
Ikaw, anong nagpapasaya sayo?

Less words, less mistakes. Parang nakita ko na din ang ganitong eksena noon.
DAVAO CITY—President-elect Rodrigo Duterte will not hold any press conferences for now, according to his executive assistant.
“Sa ngayon wala munang press con para walang mali,” Christopher “Bong” Go said in an ambush interview here on Friday.

not sure why people are so worked up in this thread
time will pass and people get desensitized...
who would have thought that voters have succumbed to a Stockholmesque syndrome?
democracy is working. it just happens that the vast swathe of the population are authoritarian
Duterte is merely a manifestation of those "values"
Damn, son! Where'd you find this?
...or not OB has become not minicarp and soon to be not kagalingan...

So folks, don't waste your energy by increasing your blood pressure in promoting hate speech, contra to our beloved President Rodrigo R. Duterte who will blossom into an aurete butterfly comes July 1, 2016. The first butterfly president in the world.

Parang si OB magsalita si minicar. I don't know, I voted for Duterte but minicar's arguements are so wrong. Just wrong. Had to say kudos to what sir juts said.
Sandali nagkasunod-sundo kayo. Ganito kasi yan.
Meron nagpost na kung sa female friends, relatives, family ko nangyari eh magagalit ba ako pag nasipolan ng tweet tweet.
You dont compare yun sipol sa kalsada doon sa presscon ni duterte. Campaign period pa lang naughty strategy na si mayor. Tapos after election nung sure win na mayor nagstart na sya to have presscon hindi nyo ba napapansin facial expression, body language? Hindi nyo ba naanticipate na makikipag-biruan/bantering sa mga reporter. Si rappler ilan beses "binubully" kahit babae. Nang-aasar si mayor. Hindi nyo ba napapansin para hindi masyado seryoso atmosphere.
And i think duterte trying to restructure the way philippine media way of reporting. Hindi nya malilimutan ginawa ng abscbn. Kasi sa ilan years ko sumusubaybay mga news pag filipino newscaster naginterview eh parang ang babait ng mga goverment official na parang meron power ito mga reporter. Parang may utang na loob tuloy dating ng politician sa news network. Duterte is changing ganito nakasanayan.

To the other posters here. Im just addressing in general pag meron ako nabanggit na "kayo mga anti-duterte" So hindi kayo lahat kasi nababasa ko naman na meron level-headed pa din kahit hindi nyo binoto si mayor.
Kaso majority dito showbiz reporter na bawat mali ginagawa issue. Pati ba naman yung nanloko sa BPI na duterte supporter itatanong pa kung ano opinion ko.
Paano kung meron nagshoplift lets say sa landmark ng YC bikini brief tapos sabihin liberal panty supporter sya. Magagamit ba namin mga pro-duterte against anti-duterte yan?
Ang hindi nyo napapansin yung mga positive the past few days. Bigyan ko kayo maganda nangyayari ngayon. Sa madaling-araw padrive-drive ako to unwind. Ang dami convoy police umiikot sa scout at new manila using parang tricycle na kakaiba at motorcylce. Tapos sa kabila meron tatlo mountain bike mga younger policemen. Eh me and my friends went out of our car to buy something tapos nagpahangin kami sa railings ng store. Eh meron lalake biglang huminto na mukhang mamalimos pero magalang naman at nageenglish. Hindi yung yagit type kasi kastilaloy na matangkad pero gusgusin yung damit. Hindi ko masabi baliw or nakadrugs pero parang wasted/naguguluhan sya nawala daw car license at pera so kailangan makauwi sa west avenue.
Nagtataka naman kami kasi ang layo ng west ave at nag-alay lakad sya meron naman barangay/police outpost kung kailangan talaga tulong. Mga around 2 to 3 meters yung pagitan namin nung lalake at nasa railings kami. Yung dumaan na convoy police na sense agad na meron unsual so they asked ano yan? Bumaba na ako stairs at inabutan ko na pera yung lalake to emphasize na pulubi kausap para hindi na damputin. Kasi kung pinalabas namin na psycho/nakadrugs hahaba pa at paranoid mga police ngayon sa takot kay duterte. And pilipino police im not sure kung natrain to differentiate pag nakadrugs or purely psychiatric disorder.
So ang police ngayon meron na pakialam. Hiindi na sila padrive-drive ng vios na walang headlight at walang pakialam sa community. They are mingling na. Natakot marelocate sa jolo.
So the lesson for the day is discernment. Mukhang nakawala sa bahay yung lalake hindi talaga pulubi. Lets practice discernment tsikoteers.
Whoever that BPI official who approved the release must be fired... I was expecting BPI to be much more cautious regarding verification.
Grabe pala itong si Digong pag napahiya. When quizzed with that whistling incident involving Mariz Umai, a female reporter reminded him of a Davao City ordinance that stated that whistling at a woman in public is a form of ***ual harassment & that he broke his own law, he retreated into an impenetrable shell & insisted that no one can stop him from whistling because it is his freedom of expression. The poor reported could not even argue with him anymore. Looks like this will be a harbinger of things to come once he sits on his throne.
