Talk of the Town: Confronting and defending Duterte

Comments on “Confronting and defending Duterte,” Public Lives by Randy David 3/1/26 ) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:
I wonder what the statue of D will look like. A cowardly leader who, in his self-defense, throws his lackeys under the bus. This so-called strongman, like many strongmen, when his own life is on the line, cries like a baby, “I didn’t do it.”

Imagine the number of people who helped create that atmosphere, presided over it, or encouraged it.

For the defense to say Duterte’s numerous speeches about to ”kill” were just rhetoric is quite cheap, and so is blaming his police under Bato for misunderstanding his words … Also naive to say, ”Where is the written order.”
