Playing with Fire
Rody Duterte, a human rights violator? Bah!
By Gonzalo Duque
IT’S disheartening, obscene, nauseating, to say the least that the New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) people want Mayor Rody Duterte investigated for alleged human rights violations.
Why, may we ask, don’t they look first at their own backyard? They have more human rights violations in that country!
It is a known fact that many cities in the U.S. were notorious centers of criminality.
Saan ba tayo makakakita ng organized mega-crimes like those perpetrated by Al Capone and others in Chicago, New York and other American cities.
Doon yata ang ”model” ng ating mga kriminalidad sa Pinas?
For his part, Mayor Rody Duterte is simply doing his part as a leader in what used to be “killing fields” that is Davao City. He put a complete or total stop to all that when he became mayor!
Isn’t that great? That’s why he has become the idol of all Filipinos who hate lawlessness and criminality. Mayor Duterte would probably stun you when he swings at the locos everywhere led by the drug lords. In Davao City, policemen cower in fear when he warns those concealing even the littlest drug evidence to plant to pin down their victims. He will have them face death penalty.
In Mon Tulfo’s column the other day, he compared former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliane and Davao Mayor Rody Duterte as toughie executives. Both of them were former prosecutors, being lawyers. They were effective, powerful, feared – and also loved.
They did away with criminals and made the citizens happy and contented.
Hindi ba ok na ok yon?
Many places in our country are in hellish state of lawlessness!
Just like what recently happened in Muntinlupa where the jail house was converted into drug laboratory. Drug labs like that, in case you don’t know, are run by drug lords and drug syndicates!
Things like these will never be tolerated by a Duterte regime of peace. Drug lords will be made to disappear in some island maybe or hopefully surrounded by sharks and crocodiles!
By the way, on Davao’s recent 157th anniversary a couple of weeks back, we were his guest, and what did we see? We saw in the parade Nur Misuari’s troops, without guns.
Duterte saw to it that they put their guns away.
Even the dreaded Ampatuans were escorted out of Davao. The guy means business in fighting crime.
This is the reason we may be incurring the ire of some people for our tough advocacy of no criminality in Dagupan City.
In Dagupan, drug cases are also on the rise. If you want to have an idea about what goes on in our barangays, just ask our neighbor Jun V how things are in Barangay Bonuan.
Nakapanlulumo! Drug selling is known everywhere. Nothing, it seems, is being done about them. Or if there are arrests, they are picayune!
It is with this in mind that we, as many or most others are, are going for Duterte to become president, to stop once and for all, all forms of criminality in order to preserve life and the future, which belongs to the young.

Our beloved sister, Dr. Grace D. Dizon, new president of the Philippine Association of Georgia, will hold a medical mission at the Region 1 Medical Center next year.
She and her group already did a medical mission during Director Jess Canto’s term, with Fil-Am doctors alumni from UP, UST and other Manila universities, now working in the US.
They did surgery to thousands.
There would be more this time, expectedly. We hope Mayor Belen Fernandez will be involved when even if Director Roland is her old friend.
