President Rodrigo Duterte called defeated senatorial candidate Chel Diokno and called him ‘lousy lawyer’ for allegedly politicizing the current issues in the country.

During his most recent televised address, Duterte slammed Diokno and accused him of encouraging the public to violate the law.

Diokno is known for his social media post reminding the netizens about their rights amid the enhanced community quarantine.

“Alam mo Diokno sa totoo lang, bilib ako sa tatay mo pag nasa korte yon noong estudyante pa kami talagang nanonood ako, pero noong ikaw nakita kita, wala ka talagang sinabi, pag magsalita ka, wag lang mainsulto yan ah, etong si Diokno pag magsalita parang janitor,” Duterte said.

The President also explained why Diokno didn’t get the support of the masses last senatorial elections.

“Alam mo kung bakit? Kalaki kasi ng ngipin mo, magsalita ka kalahati ng panga mo lumalabas… totoo tanungin mo ang mga Pilipino na nakikinig ngayon, kung magsalita ka ang laki ng ngipin mo,” Duterte said.

Duterte said that there’s a right time to talk about politics and it’s not during the crisis.

He also told Diokno that he never used the presidential yacht and newly-bought jet for the chief executive.

“Matagal ng binili ng airforce yan, you are intellectual liar, alam mo yung eroplano matagal ng inorder, tapos sabihin mo bumili ng eroplano… ginagamit yan ng airforce sabihin ko sayo ngayon hindi ko nga nakita yang eroplano na yan, hindi ako gumagamit sa gobyerno kapag ako ang nag travel, para malaman mo Diokno,” Diterte said.

“Ang yate nasa pantalan, kung gusto mo iyo na yan, pero sabi ko sa navy gawing ospital kagad yan pati tulong sila ng iba,” he added.

In one of his tweet, Diokno slammed the government for the lack of action to the violation committed by Senator Aquilino ‘Koko’ Pimentel III, calling it ‘double standard’.

Pag mahirap, kulong. Pag senador, compassion? Ang compassion e para sa mga may sakit at mga naghihirap, hindi para sa mga pulitikong sadyang nilagay pa sa peligro pati frontliners natin. Bakit pag ordinaryong tao, parusa agad? Pero kung big time, walang pananagutan? https://t.co/Rz7CnX6fGV

“Pag mahirap, kulong. Pag senador, compassion? Ang compassion e para sa mga may sakit at mga naghihirap, hindi para sa mga pulitikong sadyang nilagay pa sa peligro pati frontliners natin. Bakit pag ordinaryong tao, parusa agad? Pero kung big time, walang pananagutan?” Diokno said.

He also defended Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto who received a subpoena from NBI, saying that the authorities should focus on other things than politicians who are only doing their job.

Francis Leo Marcos apologized to the homeowners of Green Meadows in Quezon City after some of his supporters attempted to enter the super exclusive subdivision to ask their idol for some relief goods.

In his latest Facebook live video, Marcos urged his followers not to wait for him outside Green Meadows because many of his neighbors are already complaining about their presence.

“Baka po kung maari ay wag na po kayong pumila at nakakahiya po naman po sa ating mga kapitbahay na nagpapahinga minsan at nakakaabala po tayo ng pagpasok ng delivery ng pagkain,” Marcos said.

“Pwede niyo po akong puntahan sa Eastwood at kung nasan man ang aking live, kung maari lang ay wag po kayong pumila diyan sa gate 5 dahil kung diyan po kayo pupunta ay hindi ko kayo i-entertain at hindi ko kayo bibigyan ng tulong,” he added.

He also made a public apology to his neighbors in Green Meadows, saying that he’s wrong on accusing them of being greedy.

“To all the green meadow homeowner and residents, I don’t know what to say please I want you to accept my deepest apologies, for my mistake in regards to my viral videos online, it was not really my intention to create such an awkward and embarrassing situation, especially for my fellow green meadow residents and homeowners,” Marcos said.

Marcos also admitted that his neighbors contrary to his accusations are really helping the needy amid the crisis without broadcasting it on social media like him.

The businessman explained that he’s only trying to challenge other rich people like him to do philanthropic activities.

“My deepest apologies, hindi po talaga kayo ang intensyon ko, yun nga po pinangangako ko na eto po ay hindi na mauulit, para naman po sa mga viewers ko, napatunayan ko noong mga nakaraang araw na yung mga residente ay Green Meadow ay tumulong naman po pala, hindi lang po nila pinagngangalandakan katulad ng aking ginagawa,” he said.

It can be remembered that Marcos has gone viral on social media after he made a Facebook live touring around the said subdivision while lambasting his neighbors, calling them greedy and useless.

“Para sa mga kapitbahay ko dito sa subdivision, para sa akin makasarili kayong lahat, kayong mga hindi tumutulong sa ating mamamayan,” he said.

He even vowed to hunt the resident of the subdivision who filed a complaint against him.

“Kung sino ka man na nagrereport sa akin, ayan milyong milyong Pilipino ang nanonood sa akin, wala kang kwentang nilalang, baka yung katulong mo pa nga yung pumunta dito at humingi ng bigas eh, ang kapal ng mukha mo,” he said.

Francis Leo was facing controversy after several members of the Marcos-Romualdez clan already disowned him.

There’s also a document circulating on social media, listing him as one of the people being investigated because of pretending to be a member of Marcos clan.

Yesterday, Xian Gaza accused Marcos of falsifying documents to hide his real name Norman Mangusin.

In his social media posts, Francis Leo claimed that he’s the son of Pacifico Marcos, the youngest brother of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

However, despite the criticisms being thrown against him, many of his supporters are still believing that he’s a rich man who only wanted to help other people.
