i know he's got that ASEAN summit to go to, but of all times to address the public, now would be a good time. i'm told there's noticeably less people around malls since the Davao blasts...as to why they're spooked now as opposed to the multiple times we've had a bombing, i don't know, but people need a strong rallying point now.
Sabi naman ng kapatid ko, a friend got an office memo advising them to avoid malls for the meantime. Just when malls ares starting to play Christmas tunes...

From my producer: 1:33pm today
"A policeman just stopped our bus to warn us there are 4 suicide bombers they're looking for today and for us to stay clear of malls, churches and the lrt/mrt.
Ok. Medyo natakot ako."
This comes after a circular from the Sta Mesa police stating the same that I have yet to verify.
Kagabi nag EDSA ako from Sucat going to BGC. May checkpoint dun sa entrypoint ng BGC. Good to see cops around, although hindi pinapahinto pero you'll slow down they'll flash lights on you to check the people inside the vrhicle

Because this bombing has triggered a national "State of Lawlessness".
Duterte needs a good PR man at his side at times like these... (well, PNoy's government was screaming for one, but they never got it...)... Duterte could have simply declared a State of Emergency in Davao and announced that he was directing Army forces across the country to assist the police in manning checkpoints. As some of his opponents have said, declaring a State of Lawlessness, even if it isn't Martial Law, is still very alarming.
Even more alarming when the Presidentiial Communications Group, Panelo and Bato can't agree on whether it was a nationwide or a local State of Lawlessness.
Even more alarming to people with the rumors spreading of a Plaza Miranda style government conspiracy... or a drug-lord/De Lima/Abu Sayyaf anti-Duterte conspiracy... and other such nonsense.

Whatever. Now it's a National State of Emergency due to a State of Lawlessness... which is slightly better but not. If they'd simply said SOE, ok na.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
i wouldn't be surprised if that US$31 million that he "hustled" from Kerry will suddenly encounter a lot of red tape.
On the other hand, tahimik siya dun sa issue ng additional Chinese ships in WPS.

^ Based on his track record so far, OK na rin lang -- just let Clinton/Trump deal with it next year.
Obama balks at meeting Duterte: Will it be productive?
That's the diplomatic way of saying "Sya ay sinto-sinto.""He's a colorful guy," Obama joked on the eve of the scheduled face-to-face, before pointedly noting: "I always want to make sure if I'm having a meeting that it's actually productive."![]()
^ yeah, those two just seem more likely to throw gasoline onto a burning house rather than try to put it out.
