Gab Valenciano, the son of Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano shared his thoughts on Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential candidacy, by sharing an article published last December 5 quoting singer Kitchie Nadal to have condemned Duterte’s womanizing ways.
During the declaration of Mayor Duterte’s candidacy for president, the Mayor of Davao City openly boasted of personally killing criminals, and admitted to having two wives and two girlfriends.
The 27-year-old Gab Valenciano who is now based in the United States, posted a caption that stated: “Would you hire a murderer to look after your kids? Would you invite a thief to look after your home?”
“In this case, would you, who was born and raised a Filipino with the values and morals set and taught to you by past generations, appoint a president who completely rejects the morals we Filipinos are known for? Family. Faith. Tact.” The dancer and YouTube sensation added further that “I’m sorry, but leadership does not justify compromise.”
“This is the sad reality. The Philippines’ greatest weakness isn’t the government anymore, it’s the people who so eagerly, desperately and blindly fall for anything that looks and sounds good.”
“No doubt, Duterte is a leader who leads, and leads well. But what about the model and nature in which that leadership is put across? Doesn’t that matter anymore? I respect him for his honesty and eagerness to lead our country back on track, but I cannot support his morality,” he concluded.
The post of Gab Valenciano earned mixed reactions among netizens, but for the supporters of Mayor Duterte, they questioned the personality of the young celebrity who is now making a living in the US.
