Special Assistant to the Dean and College Secretary, University of the Philippines College of Medicine, Doctor Francisco Pascual Tranquilino showed his support to President Rodrigo Duterte and he promised that he would not fluctuate his support to the President.
In a lengthy post, Dr. Tranquilino explained the reason why some people are already backing out to be the supporter of President Duterte because some of them are not get used by a politician who is speaking in a picturesque way.
But he believes that people will keep criticizing President Duterte even he changed his style of speaking. Tranquilino stated that media also made a big contribution to the crit1cisms that Duterte is receiving now as the media are trying to turn around what the President said. They only highlighted his controversial words in his speeches to make him look unqualified as the leader of the Philippines.
Tranquilino said that no matter what happens, no matter how many crit1cisms that Duterte received, he will continue his support to the President who already got disrespected and m0cked by many but still standing strong and making the best he can to make our country a better place to live in.
The doctor also expressed his dismay over the people who are only looking for the b4d words that President Duterte was saying and pointed out that the public seems to forget already what Duterte had already done for the Philippines.
Read his whole post below:
“The problem is the manner in which he delivered his message. He delivers it in his usual crass, vulgar manner, in short bast0s. Blasphemous to others. But having said that, I think no matter how he said it, even if he delicately phrased his sentences with such class, tact, sensitivity and restraint, that such a shocking theological minority position came from him, the opposition and rabid crit1cs including the politic-intruding priests would still pounce on him, vilify and demonize him. That’s how it has always been for the past 2 years. The media obviously used this episode to the hilt, to Inflame, foment, to incite anger, and to propagate the long-forwarded notion that Duterte is not fit to be the President. Look at him, he is crass & vulgar, he disrespects and insults my God, he called my God stupid, he has crossed the line. Oust him!
“This is the scenario, it is more complex than what we all want to believe. It is not his statements alone, it is the viciousness of the crit1cs that has blown it out of proportion.
“I will continue to defend President Duterte because I see him as our duly elected President who even before he took his oath, has been disrespected, maligned, m0cked & discredited. All these from the overly-critical mainstream media, and the noisy opposition especially those who cannot move on from their defeat, the Yellows and the LPs and yes, the Catholic priests, too. We never extended to this man the respect due his position or appreciation for the noble vision he has for the country, his genuine and unmistakable concern for the poor, the needy and the oppressed. He has exhibited integrity and sincerity in his intentions to change what has been ailing our Philippine society for centuries. Instead, we chose to magnify every flaw in his character and totally ignore the goodness and sincerity in him.
“I would rather have a President who occasionally spew out expletives than a c0rrupt one who lies, ch3ats and st3als from the government coffers. I prefer to look at Duterte’s actions than his expletives and vulgar pronouncements. And as a colleague from Davao once said about him: “The man has seen so much poverty, so much suffering, and I can understand his an6er, his desire to change things at great personal sacrifice.”
“I have had enough of politicians who are more conscious about their political correctness and image than their actual works and plans. I rest my case. Just wanted to share my final thoughts on this issue”
President Rodrigo Duterte once again received crit1cisms from the netizens last week after he m0cked God itself and questioned some of the accounts to the Bible.
The Christian groups and the Catholic Church rebuked the President with some supporters of Duterte were offended by those words. But President Duterte explained that he is only mocking the "God" of the Catholic Church.
To end the controversy, the government decided to set a dialog between religious groups and Duterte. But for now, President Duterte would remain silent over the matter.
