“Inutil Na Pangulo” – Senator De Lima Slams Duterte After 2020 SONA

De Lima Slams Duterte, Calls Him “Inutil Na Pangulo”

SEN. DE LIMA – Recently, Senator Leila De Lima called out President Rodrigo Duterte following his 2020 State of the Nation Address and called him “Inutil na Pangulo”.

During Duterte’s SONA, he mentioned that both the Philippines and China were claimed they had rights to the West PH Sea. However, Duterte emphasized that if the Philippines were to contest the territory, a war might break lose, one that the Philippines would lose.

Because of his statement, millions of Filipinos were disheartened as Duterte conceded claims to the territory. It could also be recalled that during the 2016 campaign, Duterte bragged that he would ride a jet ski to the West PH Sea with a Philippine Flag on hand.

As a response to his statements regarding our sovereign rights, Senator Leila De Lima stated:

“Maling-mali ri nang pagbanggit niya na China is “in possession” of the disputed territories. Isang pag-amin na may matinding implikasyon sa ilalim ng batas. Tayo na ang nanalo sa kaso natin laban sa China, tayo ngayon ang umuurong. Hindi lang ito kaduwagan kundi katraydoran!”

In her official statement, De Lima also slammed Duterte for failing to provide a comprehensive roadmap regarding the COVID-19 epidemic in the Philippines.

Ilang milyong pamilya ang nagugutom dahil sa kawalan ng ayuda at kabuhayan sa harap ng COVID-19 pandemic.

Sa kabila ng mga ito, nagawa pa rin ng gobyernong Duterte na ipasara ang ABS-CBN na napakalaki ang ipinapasok sa ating ekonomiya sa pamamagitan ng kanilang pag-empleyo sa libu-libong Pilipino at pakikipag-negosyo sa napakaraming Filipino companies at independent contractors.

Sinukuan na ba ni G. Duterte ang COVID-19? Tila walang plano ang gobyernong Duterte ayusin ang ating bansa para makapamuhay tayo kahit may COVID-19 pandemic pa rin. Mukhang naghihintay na lamang siya na magkaroon ng bakuna mula sa China.
