Comedian Michael V slammed the people who used the quote he made for President Rodrigo Duterte to campaign the latter’s daughter Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte in the 2022 Presidential elections.

In an Instagram post, Michael V who’s also known as “Bitoy” called out a Facebook page who supported Mayor Duterte for using his quotes as “campaign material”.

Bitoy was referring to the caption of the painting he made for President Duterte in 2016.

“Mabuhay ang pangulo! Walang iba… s’ya na nga! Wala ka nang magagawa, bayan na ang nagsalita. Sa bawat bagong araw, mayro’ng bagong simula. ‘DAPAT TAMA’ isa-puso sa isip at sa salita.” said Bitoy.

“Kahit sino mang pangulo ang iluluklok ng bayan ‘Di kakayanin ang bigat kundi natin tutulungan. Ang mabuting pagbabago na kanyang sisimulan Tayo ang magpapatuloy hanggang sa katapusan. Awatin na ang dilang masakit magsalita. Pakawalan ang pusong makatao ang gawa,” he added.

The comedian clarified that he’s only encouraging the people to respect the election results during that time and his statement that been circulated on social media was not recent.

“Madalas kong nakikita sa circulation ‘tong quote ko na ‘to which I posted more than 4 YEARS AGO nu’ng nanalo si Digong as President, to encourage people to accept and respect the election results, consistent with the “Dapat Tama” campaign na ginawa ko with GMA Network. To set the records straight, it’s NOT A RECENT POST,” he said.

Bitoy said that he had no problem with people reposting it, however, he discouraged everyone to use his quotes to campaign anyone.

“Please pay attention to the LAST LINE NA ALL CAPS. I have no problem with people using it for the right reason pero HUWAG PO NATING GAMITING CAMPAIGN MATERIAL,” he stated.

Inday Sara Duterte is one of the possible candidates in the 2022 presidential election.

“Magpapa-punta po ako ng reporter d’yan. Lahat po ng klaseng tulong ibibigay namin. Sa ngayon po, magpe-pledge po ako, magbibigay ako sa’yo ng P100,000,” Tulfo said.

Regala told Tulfo that his partner already left him because of being broke.

“Iniwan pa po ako ng aking asawa dahil wala na nga po akong pera. Ang iniisip ko pa ‘yung aking career, eh mukhang malabo na po dahil tinalikuran na ako ng industriya. Ako lang pong mag-isa at yung aking aso. Dina-dalaw dalaw lang po ako ng mga kaibigan ko po,” said Regala.

In another interview, Regala thanked Clariza for helping him despite the fact that he damaged his motorcycle.

“Carlo, actually nabangga ko pa ‘yung motor mo kasi hilong hilo ako kasi 13 araw na akong hindi kumakain,” said Regala.

“Hindi mo ako iniwanan. Bihira ‘yung ganun kaya maraming maraming salamat sa ‘yo. Tinatanaw kong utang na loob ‘yun,” he added.

In 2016, John Regala became part of the ABS-CBN television drama ‘Ang Probinsiyano’.

In 2017, he also became a topic on social media after he was spotted unconscious in Cavite.

Regala then appeared in an episode of magazine show Kapuso Mo Jessica Sojo to deny that he’s ill.

A lawyer lectured Karen Davila after the Kapamilya journalist tweeted about her complaints to President Rodrigo Duterte fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Yesterday, Davila complained about how President Rodrigo Duterte publicly criticized Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon and ABS-CBN during his SONA.

According to her, it’s not the right time for the President to threw criticisms.

“No senator or private company deserves to be mentioned at the opening of the President’s SONA. This is about the state of the country, where we are, where we are going, not about personal vendettas or feelings. People are hungry and jobless. People are looking for inspiration,” said Davila.

Atty. Nick Nañgit reacted to Davila’s tweet, asking why the latter was seems trying to lecture the President on what he should say during his SONA.

He also asked Davila if she’s really listening to the speeches of Duterte as the latter also discussed about the state of the country.

Nañgit then called Davila ambitious for trying to tell what President should say.

“1. Ayaw mo sa opening, so saan ba dapat ilagay ng Pangulo ang pangalan ng senador o pribadong kumpanya? Sa bandang huli ng SONA? Sagot!”

“2. Hindi ba estado ng bansa ang inilahad niya? Nakinig ka ba ng husto o mas inatupag mo ang guhit ng iyong kilay na pabagu-bago bawa’t episode mo bilang blogger? Sagot!”

“3. Inspirasyon ba kamo? Teka, saang manual o libro nakasaad yan o kung ano ang dapat nilalaman ng SONA? Ikaw na ba ang Pangulo, para magsabi kung ano ang pwede at hindi pwede? Wow, ambisyosa ka, teh! Di ako na inform. Sabagay, baka nga Pangulo ka na sa Twitter nation”

The post of Nañgit reached 1,700 reactions as of writing.

Yesterday, President Duterte mentioned Drilon and accused the senator of defending the Lopezes.

“In an interview, [Drilon] arrogantly mentioned that oligarchs need not be rich then he linked the Anti-dynasty system with oligarchy and the topic was my daughter and son,” the President said.

“This happened after the committee of franchises voted 70-11 to deny the grant of franchise to ABS-CBN…Obviously [Drilon] was defending the Lopezes that they were not oligarchs.” he added.

As a response, Drilon said that he’s not defending the owners of the Kapamilya network.

“I was defending freedom of the press, not the Lopezes. The closure of the ABS-CBN sent a chilling effect,” said Drilon.

“As I said before, for democracy to thrive we need free press and to allow journalists to exercise complete freedom to do their mandate of reporting facts without fear,” he added.

Netizen writes open letter to Nikki Valdez who criticizes Duterte: “Mas pipiliin mong mag-operate ng illegal ang network mo para sa kapakanan mo kesa sa respetuhin ang pangulo”

A netizen wrote an open letter to actress Nikki Valdez after the latter criticized President Rodrigo Duterte in a lengthy Instagram post.

Yesterday, Valdez who admitted that she voted for President Duterte in 2016 expressed disappointment to the chief executive for prioritizing the shutdown of ABS-CBN.

Netizen Noel Landero Sarifa came to the rescue and responded to Valdez’s criticisms as detailed as possible.

Sarifa showcased the contribution of President Duterte in the country.

The netizen also questioned why Valdez thought that the President was loyal to China instead of the Philippines while Filipinos were benefiting to the projects of the government and not the Chinese people.

Sarifa also explained why the government prioritized the anti-terror bill.

He then pointed out that ABS-CBN was not forced to shut down, but the Congress only rejected the franchise extension of the broadcasting network giant.

The Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) was also giving thousands of jobs to the Filipinos according to Sarifa, so he’s questioning why Valdez wanted to close down the said companies in the Philippines.

Here’s the whole letter of Sarifa:

“Nikki..nikki..nikki.. Unang-una nagkaroon na ng boses ang simpleng mamayan, naandyan ang sumbungan ng bayan na 8888-hotline, naandyan yong emergency hotline natin – 911, meron pa tayong office of the president na pwede natin sulatan or tawagan sa ating problema, naandyan din ang malasakit center na handang magbigay ng medical assistance. So yes, salamat sa boto mo at nagkaroon ng boses ang ordinaryong mamamayan.”

“Paano mo nasabing nasa China ang katapatan ng Pangulo? Sa China ba sya nagptayo ng mga tulay at kalsada? Sa China nya ba pinapatupad ang pagtaas ng sahod ng sundalo, pulis, teacher at mga nurse? Mga chinese student ba ang binigyan ng free tuition at free wifi? ang pagkakaibigan ba sa China ay sukatan ng katapatan? Bakit sa panahon ni Pnoy nawalan tayo ng Isla? At bakit sa panahon ni Duterte nagkaroon ng bilateral agreement para hindi na umusad ang pagsakop ng China sa WPS?”

“Bakit hindi uunahin ang anti-terror bill? Dekada na ang hinihintay ng mamamayan para mabigyan sila ng proteksyon laban sa terrorista? Hanggang kelan mo paghihintayin ang taumbayan? Hanggang kailan mo hahayaang may map*tay nanaman ang mga terrorista?”

“Inuna ang pagsasara ng ABS-CBN? kusang nag-expire ang franchise, bilang mandato, kapag walang franchise dapat hindi na pwede mag-operate? Anong sinabi mong pinasara? Bukas pa ang ABS-CBN binawi lang ng gobyerno ang pinahiram na frequency dahil expired na ang prangkisa, at ayun sa hearing sa congress hindi na sila qualified ulit na bigyan ng panibago, hindi kasalanan yun ng pangulo.”

“Nanatili ang POGO? Panahon pa ni Gloria yang POGO na yan, so mas ok sayo alisin ang POGO na 37,000 Pilipino ang mawawalan ng trabaho? Bakit mo pinag-iinitan ang Pogo e ginagawa na nga yang legal kasi illegal yang nakakapag-operate before. Ngayong pinakikinabangan na ng taumbayan gusto mong isara? Ano klaseng pag-iisip yan?”

“OO, ito ang plano nya sa Pilipinas, may boses ang mamayan, may pagkakasundo sa mga ibang bansa hindi naghihikayat ng giyera, ipatupad ang batas, gawan ng maayos na pamamalakad ang mga illegal na operasyon na business sa bansa para mapakinabangan ng taumbayan hindi ng iilan lang. So sana, makita mo yan, magpapasalamat ka bakit sya ang binoto mo, pero hindi e, mas pipiliin mong mag-operate ng illegal ang network mo para sa kapakanan mo kesa sa respetuhin ang pangulo at ang saligang batas.”

President Rodrigo Duterte gave the telecommunications company a time limit until December to fix their service.

In his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Duterte mentioned the two biggest telecommunication companies in the Philippines, Globe, and Smart, saying that he’s already living in the country for a long time, but the service of the two giants didn’t change.

He warned the two telecom companies to comply on his order or else he would make a way to close them.

“Ang Smart pati Globe, ilang taon na ito? At ang sagot palagi sa akin, ‘cannot be reached’. Saan napunta ‘yong yawa na ‘yon?If you are not ready to improve, I might just as well close all of you. We’ll revert back to line,” said Duterte.

“The patience of the Filipino people is reaching its limit and I will be the one to articulate the anger of the Filipino people… Kindly improve the services before December… I want to call Jesus Christ to Bethlehem, better have that line cleared. Kayo ang may pera, p**** tapos you give us half-cooked deals, lousy service,” he added.

As a response, Globe CEO Ernest Cu said that they’re doing their best to improve their service, citing that they spent $1.2-B which goes to network and capacity builds.

Cu also mentioned the challenges they’re facing especially the long process of building cell sites.

“We have been experiencing long-drawn permitting process across LGUs, HOAs, and national agencies in our cell site build and laying down of fiber to homes, but we are positive that with the policies being enacted by the DICT, we will be able to fast-track builds of telco towers for a more robust connectivity and internet services for every Filipino,” said Cu.

Filipinos repeatedly complained about the slow internet service in the country.

However, the telecom companies vowed to do what they could to improve their services to the people.

According to the Ookla Speedtest Global Index for February 2019, the Philippine internet speed showed an improvement of 143.74%.

President Rodrigo Duterte wanted to revive capital punishment to stop the shabu problem in the Philippines.

During his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), Duterte urged Congress to pass the revival of lethal injection in the country.

“I reiterate the swift passage of a law providing the death penalty by lethal injection for crimes specified the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002,” said Duterte.

When no one clapped inside the Batasan Pambansa, Duterte quipped that the lawmakers might not interested in his proposal.

After noticing that no one clapped, the lawmakers started to applause.

The President then explained the problem of shabu in the country.

Duterte asked why that shabu trade was still being done inside the national penitentiary like what’s happening to other countries like Colombia and Mexico.

The President also explained how a family can be destroyed if one of their members got hooked by shabu.

“When the family starts to crumble, there’s no more home. The wife will look for another husband or for a job, usually sa abroad. Ang mga anak, iniiwan sa kapitbahay o kapatid,” Duterte said.

Capital punishment in the country was ended in 2006 and the inmates who were originally lined up to lethal injection were commuted to life imprisonment.

In 2016, President Duterte made the revival of capital punishment as one of his campaign promises.

Duterte originally supported capital punishment by hanging.

Some bills calling for the revival of capital punishment have been pending in the Congress.
