General Admission
The real President Duterte
By Al S. Mendoza
WHAT’S wrong with us doing more business with China than the US?
China is nearer to us than the US.
We can fly to either Beijing or Shanghai in less than three hours.
We need at least 14 hours to get to either Los Angeles or New York.
In America, who said racial discrimination is dead?
It is very much alive.
American Presidential candidate Donald Trump is racist himself.
In America, we Asians, by the way we look, are immediately typecast as second-class.
Clap as President Duterte says, “Who is he?”
Who is Obama?
Like Digong, Obama is also a president.
Same position. Same stature. Same power.
Let’s love Digong more.
He openly defies anyone trying to belittle us.
Name me a President before Digong who openly spoke his mind—hostile he may seem—against an American president?
Funny, but instead of heaping praise on Digong for his undying love of country at the expense of putting his life on the line, we tend to criticize him.
Isn’t it true, as Mr. Duterte keeps saying, that when we get attacked by a foreign power, it is only us who could protect our own selves?
Not the Americans. Never.
In fact, as correctly pointed out by Digong, the Japanese attacked us in World War II because the Americans were here.
Had the Americans not colonized us, Japan would not have involved us in World War II.
The saddest part is, it has always been bandied about that the Americans liberated us from the Japanese.
Not true. We were on the verge of defeating Japan when the Americans “arrived.”
Even MacArthur’s famous line, “I shall return,” has a rueful ring of exaggeration.
While true that he has returned, MacArthur returned only after our Filipino soldiers had already weakened the Japanese Imperial Army.
It was just a matter of time before we were set to liberate our land from the Japanese occupiers.
Digong loves to hit the American leadership and not necessarily the American people.
He tells it like it is: America’s leaders love to go to war because the US is basically a war economy—meaning the US thrives on wars they create overseas to keep their economy going through arms sales.
Thus, the truth is Digong has been treading on dangerous grounds ever since he took office on June 30.
Digong is right: America’s CIA, in tandem with the FBI, might be plotting to kill him for his espousal of less America now for us, but more of China.
If Digong’s foreign policy thrust is wrong, only his blind critics say so.
If Digong’s Chinese leanings is wrong, why did nearly 500 of our country’s top businessmen join the President to China?
And, yes, if you see Digong as totally different from all his predecessors, you are absolutely right.
He is not an American lackey. He is only pro-Filipino all the way.
