The tough-talking mayor of Davao City, Mayor Rodrigo Duterte fires back at his critics during an interview with the media after some news came out earlier that he cannot fulfill his promise of curbing some of the country’s problems in just three to six months once elected as President of the Philippines.
According to the 71-year-old Mayor Duterte he will show to his critics on how to do it, all they have to do is stay away from their post right now and he will show how to curb the country’s problems. He was quoted as saying “Umalis lang muna sila diyan and I will take over and I’ll show them how to do it,” Duterte said.
The statement of Mayor Duterte was revealed during an interview while doing his campaign sorties in Bukidnon wherein he witnessed thousands of eager supporters waiting for him and showing their support for his presidential bid. Mayor Duterte got the backing of the influential Zubiri clans of Bukidnon.
Mayor Duterte was often misinterpreted by some major news media companies who were clearly bias on their reports regarding the mayor, questioned the mayor’s decision that he will order the police and he military to kill outlaws but it is really not the case, the bias media have been reporting negative news about the mayor but most Filipino netizens were already awakens on how the media work.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ricardo Marquez on Friday dismissed Duterte’s promise as mere words, but once Mayor Duterte will be elected as President the leadership of the PNP will surely support him after the mayor vows to uplift living conditions of the police officers and other member of the government’s security forces.
Mayor Duterte also took a swipe against Mar Roxas as he criticized the former Interior Secretary that the later will fail to wipe out criminals as president. He was quoted as saying “Kung ako si Roxas, naging presidente, 50 years, walang ma-achieve,” Duterte said.
