Nojo Mojo: “Yes, he has a right to free speech, and we have the right to criticize him. Free speech is not free from consequence.”
Alma: “And disrepecting God by calling him stupid which is the real issue here. We may have different beliefs, opinions and views in life but calling God stupid is a disrespect. Duterte is really sick and insane…”
Wisdom: “Freedom of speech…..lahat pwede sabihin, pero hindi lahat dapat. Even when you speak, it should always be accorded with consideration and RESPECT.”
