According to the petition filed by Uboa San, we Filipinos should give a second chance and it’s too early to resign for Mayor Rody Duterte. The petitioner urged every Filipinos to give the mayor a trial and see how he can handle the Philippines.
Here’s Part of the Petition Statements:
“Duterte took the role of an alpha male leader. Real leaders have real brains over emotions. You need people like him (Duterte) so that you can point your dirty fingers and say “he’s the bad guy.” We need a real honest leader to deal people who can’t handle the truth, bigotry, and for those who are afraid to have a big change. Give a second chance. It’s too early to resign Duterte. Give him a trial and see how he can handle the Philippines.”
He added : “One thing, hating Duterte is like Carlos hating against the government and he’ll cost him dearly. Law is a law. Respect! No to propaganda. Period. It is against the government to blame Duterte like this, just as Carlos Celdran did. There is a proper process by the law to handle such violators.”
