Journalist Arnold Clavio encouraged the people to unite regardless of their political beliefs in his Instagram post.
Clavio who watched Duterte’s first United Nations General Assembly speech said that the people should read the speech of the President and “cherish” it.
He even shared some of the highlights of Duterte’s speech which according to him were considered as important issues that should be discussed.
“Anuman ang kulay politika mo, isantabi muna. Balikan, pakinggan at namnamin ang naging talumpati ni Pangulong Duterte sa harap ng iba’t ibang lider sa United Nations General Assembly,” said Clavio.
“Kahit sa isang kisapmata ay magkaisa tayo bilang iisang lahing Pilipino. Narito ang ilang highlights ng kanyang talumpati. Ang paninindigan niya sa ilang mahalagang isyu na kailangan na malaman ng lahat,” he added.
The journalist recently faced issues after Sarah Balabagan claimed that they had a relationship when she was only 16 years old.
Duterte made his speech on September 23 (Manila Time) and one of the most memorable remarks of the President was the stance of the Philippines on the South China Sea dispute.
“The award is now part of international law, beyond compromise and beyond the reach of passing governments to dilute, diminish, or abandon,” said Duterte.
Even the critics of President Duterte praised the said speech and hoping that the government was serious in defending the territory of the country.
