"He's the most honest politician I know. Im serious! We need blokes like that in England", Wayne said in his Hugh Grant accent as he was telling me what was all over the news, Mayor Duterte cursing at Congressman Nograles.
Im used to the profanity part since im an avid viewer of his show "Gikan sa Masa Para sa Masa". Boy do i love hearing Fuck You's, Putang Ina, Mga Gago, Bullshit, Pisting Yawa etc etc being thrown out on a Sunday morning to theives , drug pushers, rapist, corrupt public officials and even alcoholic dads who beats up their wife and kids. I have no qualms about him cursing because i understand that as someone who maintains peace and order in this city in the most possible (and even impossible) way he can, he would seriously flare up to those people who didnt have anything better to do than commit crimes.
This cursing has been going on since the show started (i believe it has been on air for a few years now) and it has never been an issue not until just recently Congressman Nograles tasted what i would love to call the Digong special, "Bullshit ka Boy. Fuck You!"
Im not really sure what exactly was the main reason why he was so mad at the congressman but it definitely has something to do with the little girl who allegedly committed suicide because of poverty, Marianeth Amper. The two officials have been said to be arguing about who lacked programs that could have saved this little girl's life if indeed she ended her life because they were poor.
A source told me that what triggered Mayor Duterte's point per point blow to Nograles was his statement that it's Duterte's fault that the kid died because of so and so fundings were not used to where they were allocated for.
He could have said it better, in a way that no one person should be blame. Im not sure how he would say it but im pretty sure neither one of them wanted that girl to die nor would be put to blame to the girl's death. He should have helped figure out what went wrong, if there were lapses not start pinpointing and say out loud that he has nothing to do with the "local" because his in the "national".
Duh!
But he is right though, he has nothing to do with the local scene because as far as i am concerned Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has been totally hands on to what he swore, "Dont fuck with my city or else...."

hi tenz.
im back
visit me ha!
I was there in Philippines, but didn't hear the news about this. One reason was probably because I avoided the news fearing that I'd hear something horrific (like what you had in your last post).
It is refreshing to hear someone talk without sugar-coating anything but EEK! As you said, no one person is to blame and although it is unfortunate that it takes something like this to make a point, hopefully something will be done.
