Of Duterte and PNoy

By Ulysses R. Butuyan

 

Duterte must aim for legacy, not sound bites. Tell him not to kill all criminals, or who on earth will remain to enjoy his legacy? And he himself might no longer be around anymore, either.

Noy: Let’s guard our democracy. Oh, yeah? He is saying that now that CJ Corona died after lawlessly impeached under the Aquino democracy.

CJ Sereno: Reticence is not cowardice. But it can be useful for self-preservation, perhaps?

Noy warns Filipinos on specter of martial law. How come they weren’t warned before and during his presidency?

Turbulent transition for Duterte. It pays to undergo a vigorous mouthwash rinsing before speaking.

Ombudsman to Duterte: Stay faithful to the Charter. Ensure first that he knows and respects the Bill of Rights.

Prosecutors oppose GMA pleas and insist that she committed graft when she accepted a gift or favor from ZTE in the form of a round of golf and lunch. Why, does a president who attends social gatherings have to bring his/her own “baon?” Is a round of golf enough to jail a person for life? Some fiscals are even having rounds of “gulp” openly and with impunity.

Duterte to take oath before fraternity brod. Please give him a fraternity initiation again, if only to remind him of his fraternity with all his constituents.

Corruption is not allowed in the Duterte Cabinet. The campaign period is long over. Besides, that’s a tall order. Just remember the Greek cynic who walked the streets carrying a lighted lamp at broad daylight because he was looking for an honest man.

Empowering Filipinos with information. Please include values formation not only for children but for adults alike.

12 barong choices for Duterte. Don’t let him wear the 13^th choice too early.

No PH-China bilateral talks to resolve the territorial dispute in the South China Sea in the next two years. It takes long for them to learn each other’s language first.

Drills start on US Aircraft Carriers. Don’t overdo it. Excessive drilling can sink them.

“Pitbull of Congress” buried. When is the turn of the crocodiles?
