Digong pa rin ba?

Anong masasabi ko sa mga taong galit na galit kay Duterte at sa mga supporters nya? Anong masasabi ko sa mga tao na tangang tanga sa mga taong gustong bumoto kay Duterte?

Disclaimer: 

Hindi ko ito isinulat para iboto mo si Digong. Kung ayaw mo wag mo.

Hindi ako fan o supporter ni Digong.

Kung madali kang ma-offend, huwag mo nang basahin ito

First of all, I do not like Duterte. He is crass, foul-mouthed, a thug, a self proclaimed killer, a human-rights violator, hot tempered. Did you know he was expelled from not one but two schools because of misconduct? He cursed at the pope, he spoke ill of the Mexicans, in front of the Ambassador to Mexico, and he joked about rape, that he should have been first! 

Nakakainis sya, pakipot! Hindi daw tatakbo, nagpaligaw pa, tapos tatakbo pala! Ang arte! 

Digong isn’t faultless. The media certainly made that clear.

Second, I am disgusted by Duterte’s cracks against the pope, and about rape. What he said were completely unacceptable.

So no, I do not like him. 

But I trust him. I do not need to like an Uber driver just for me to trust him to safely get me where I need to go.

Bakit ko siya iboboto?

  • Siya ang nagpaumpisa ng designation of deputy mayors for the Lumads and Moros in the city government. This idea was soon copied by other cities in the country.
  • With the people’s money, nagpatayo sya ng isang drug rehab facility para sa mga drug addicts. Alam mo bang binibigyan nya pa ng P2,000 monthly allowance ang mga drug addicts na lumalapit sa kanya para magbagong buhay?
  • Davao City has an anti-discrimination ordinance. Everyone has access to a job, opportunities, and a home, regardless of one’s religion, gender, sexuality, etc.
  • In June 2015, Davao ranked as the 4th safest city in the world. IN THE WORLD.
  • He has transformed the city into from the murder capital of the nation to now the “most peaceful city in Southeast Asia”.
  • Ang Davao city ang isa sa pinakaunang dumating at tumulong sa Tacloban matapos masalanta ng bagyong Yolanda. Nauna pa sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas? Nauna pa sa DILG secretary? Nauna pa sa bise president?
  • He refused to be a cabinet member four times, refused a nomination to be the World Mayor Prize, insisting he was “just doing his job”, and refused the anti-smoking award given by the American Cancer Society in 2010.
  • Lahat ng nakokolektang pera mula sa mga smoking fines, napupunta sa House of Hope, a facility for children with cancer. Just last year, he gave P3.2M to House of Hope.
  • He spends his birthday and Christmas with the children and personally buys toys for them.
  • He has won The National Literacy Hall of Fame award several times and the Outstanding Local Government Highly Urbanized Category three times
  • City ordinances:
  • Liquior ban from 1-8AM
  • Speed limit is strictly implemented
  • Firecracker ban – 0 casualties every year
  • Established the first and only 911 system in Asia
  • All malls have high end and HD CCTV cameras

Kung ayaw nyo sa kanya, edi wag nyo syang iboto. Sino bang pumipilit sa inyo? 

An FB friend posted that PNoy was so incompetent it convinced people that “Duterte, a man that wouldve been a joke candidate in the 90s would be the one to change The Philippines.” 90s? Sino? Si Aquino at si Ramos?! Thank God we’re no longer in the 90s. Don’t get me started on what they have done for the Philippines. People need to move on and learn from the past.

You say I give him a free pass because he has done his job? Exactly. He has done his job for DavaoeƱos. Is it wrong to want that for the country? 

What have the other candidates done? Binay says he will do to the Philippines what he has to Makati? Anyare? Nangyari ba? Iboboto ko ba sya? Tuwing may ginagawa si Binay, nakapaskil ang mukha at pangalan nya? Bakit? Pera ng taumbayan yan? Kailangan ba magpasalamat? Tumanaw ng utang na loob? Bakit mo pinagyayabang ang mga ginawa mo sa Makati? You were just doing your job too! At bakit kaliwa’t kanan ang mga kaso ng corruption sa iyo at sa pamilya mo? May narinig ka bang kaso ni Duterte ng corruption at pag gamit sa mali ng pera ng taumbayan? 

Sino ang pipiliin ko, isang taong lumabag sa batas para sa sariling kapakanan o sa isang taong lumabag sa batas para sa kapakanan ng nakararami? I am not justifying his actions. I am telling you my reasons behind my vote. You don’t have to agree with me. Go vote for whoever you want.

Mar Roxas has an impressive resume. He has done a lot for the country, especially for the BPO community. It is sad that the internet has turned him into the political clown and disregarded his accomplishments for the Philippines.

Ngunit ipagpapatuloy ni Mar Roxas ang daang matuwid? Aba nakakakilabot! Bakit? Ano na ba ang nangyari sa panahon ng sinasabi nilang Daang Matuwid?

  • Luneta hostage crisis – pangiti-ngiti pa ang ating presidente
  • Zamboanga siege
  • Yolanda tragedy – nauna pa ang Davao kaysa sa gobyerno
  • SAF44 – may nanagot na ba?
  • laglag bala 
  • Ang pagkakakulong at kaso ni GMA – ang sarap ng buhay nya sa ospital naka aircon pa!
  • PDAF scam – nakapag bail pa si Napoles! Naknampucha!

Bakit ko iboboto si Grace Poe? Even her own family can’t vote for her. Simple lang yan. She once abandoned the Philippines. She can do it again. Simpleng tanong ni Digong about the dispute about the waters ang sagot mo babangon? You need more years in the senate, more laws, and more output, madam.

Miriam, kung wala ka lang sakit at hindi si Bongbong ang bise mo, maiboboto sana kita.

In the hostage incident, Digong took the place of the hostage. He literally had a knife to his throat. He put his own life on the line para sa isang taong hindi nya kilala, hindi kamag anak o ka ano ano. Digong is willing to die for one person. Tanungin kita, kaya ba yang gawin ng kandidato mo?

Mas gugustuhin ko pa ang taong harapang gago, kesa sa taong pa pogi pero patalikod kang niloloko. Mas gugustuhin ko pa ang taong lumalabag sa batas para sa kapakanan ng nakararami kesa sa taong lumalabag sa batas para sa sariling kapakanan.

Mas gugustuhin ko ng presidenteng walang preno ang bunganga pero may nagagawa para sa mga nasasakupan nya, kesa sa mga taong alam ang tama at dapat sabihin sa tama at tamang panahon pero walang nagagawa.


You choose to condemn his words and ignore his actions? He said terrible terrible things. But what has he done for his people? Look beyond the words and see what he has done.

Safety is a need according to Abraham Maslow; it is in fact, in the second level of the hierarchy of needs – right after basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. Bakit hindi ko ma enjoy ang pangangailangan na ito sa aking sariling siyudad at bansa? Bakit ang mga mamamayan ng Davao ay natitikman ito? 

Sabi nga ng isa pang FB friend ko, hindi namin kailangan ng Prince Charming, ng isang knight in shining armor. We need a warrior. 

Poverty is caused by corruption, criminality, and lack of discipline. You cannot solve poverty if you don't do something about the three. 

Ngayon, kung ayaw mo syang iboto e di wag. 

He is not perfect. None of them are. Chose your imperfection. Choose your poison.

P.S. Kung sino man ang iboto mo, mahal pa rin kita.
