Analyst Claims President Duterte’s Tirade Against Bongbong Marcos is Scripted
A political analyst claimed that President Rodrigo Duterte’s tirade against presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is scripted.
Prof. Antonio Contreras, a political scientist at De La Salle University, said in an interview that it may be part of the script or plot. For an observer, President Rodrigo Duterte’s arrest of presidentiable Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who is accompanied by his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, seems worrisome.
“Kasi six months ago, meron nang nagbubulong-bulong sa akin na ang lalabas ay talagang BBM-Sara. In fact, I remember in a program, I think it was in another channel, I was asked. At that time, naririnig-rinig ko na and I summoned my gut feel and sabi ko, ‘Malamang Bongbong-Sara yan,” he said.
“And I think because those talks are coming out then, maybe, I’m going to sort of… look at it at a different narrative that maybe this is part of an entire script,” Contreras added.

Someone told Contreras that President Duterte views politics as a game of chess, and that he anticipates the moves of the chess pieces. This caused him to question if Duterte’s tirades were genuine or contrived. He went on to say, “Well, evidently, their battle plan is to come out with this slime to protect BBM-Sara.”
“Ano bang unang binanat ni Presidente kay Bongbong? Komunista siya. Eh ang layo naman, Diyos ko. Sabi ko nga kung komunista si [BBM] may buhok na ako. Ang layo-layo. With that, pine-preempt mo na yung truth na yung mga susunod mong sasabihin hindi na puwedeng paniwalaan ng tao kasi nagsinungaling ka na sa una,” he stressed.
According to Contreras, Mayor Sara faces a greater risk than Marcos Jr. Sara is in danger because loyalists may react against her. However, there is a strong effort in the story to protect Sara and to distinguish her from her father.
Maybe that’s why the… script is … mag-away sila, ‘yung mag-ama,” he said.
