Duterte’s senatorial bets scared to debate with Otso Diretso
DETAINED SENATOR Leila de Lima who is a staunch critic of President Rodrigo Duterte said the administration’s senator candidates cannot debate with the opposition despite repeated challenges by the Otso Diretso ticket.
She said Duterte taunts the Otso Diretso candidates and said his endorsed candidates, especially Bong Go and Francis Tolentino, are better than them.
“There is one sure way to prove or disprove Duterte's boast, a live and televised debate between his favorites Bong Go and Tolentino and anyone among the Otso Diretso candidates. The only problem is, Duterte's favored bets are content with hiding under Duterte's skirt, too afraid to engage in any kind of debate with their opponents,” she said.
De Lima said Duterte's own campaign in the 2016 elections was waged on pure gimmickry and uninhibited demagoguery, with no solid program of government on which to anchor his outlandish promises. “This kind of campaign which has won him the presidency is the culprit for the directionless and chaotic governance of the country three years into his administration.”
“And Duterte has the gall to tell Otso Diretso to go straight to hell. Well, the country is in hell right now, courtesy of Duterte's unfulfilled promises made during his hot-air campaign for the presidency and his unstable behavior. He is using the same tricks now with his candidates, hoping to fool Filipino voters twice in a row,” she said.
De Lima was referring to a speech Duterte made during a recent campaign rally in Zamboanga City where he endorsed two opposing politicians Mayor Beng Climaco and Rep. Celso Lobregat.
“Shame on us if we let him fool us twice. By now, we clearly know that there are no short-cuts to good government. There are no magic portals to crime-free communities in six months. There are no crazy formulas to solving poverty or ending corruption. Only demagogues lead us to believe in such things to make up for the bankruptcy of their own visions and programs.”
“Duterte's promises are the same cheap promises being made by his senatorial candidates. Like empty shells when broken, they have nothing to show on how to fulfill these promises. This is the simple reason why Duterte's candidates will never engage the Otso Diretso in any debate,” De Lima said. (Mindanao Examiner)

Higanteng tarp nina Duterte, Go lumutang sa Zambo
ZAMBOANGA CITY - Lumutang ang isang dambuhalang tarpaulin na may larawan nina Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at senatorial bet nitong si Bong Go sa Zamboanga City.
Sa higanteng tarpaulin di-kalayuan sa kampo ng Philippine Air Force sa Barangay Santa Maria ay makikita ang: "Political advertisement paid by Reiko Chua, Temple Drive, Quezon City." Makikita doon na ginagamit ni Go ang Malasakit Center bilang atraksyon sa naturang political ad.
Ngunit ilang mga tarpaulin ni Go rin ang sinira ng mga di-kilalang tao sa Zamboanga. Bumabaha na rin ng mga ad ang radio at telebisyon sa nasabing lungsod upang maisulong ang kandidatura ni Go na bigong makapasok sa mga pulitikong malakas sa publiko sa huling survey sa bansa.
Ngunit mismong si Duterte ang personal na kumakampanya para kay Go, gayun rin kina Bato dela Rosa at Fancis Tolentino na tumatakbo rin sa senado at tulad ni Go ay kulelat rin sa survey. (Mindanao Examiner)
