Singer Leah Navarro believed that President Rodrigo Duterte is not doing his best to do his role as the chief executive of the country.

In her tweet, Navarro made another message against the President by calling her ‘overpaid’ and ‘underworked’.

She tweeted it after Malacanang said that Duterte is in Davao City during the time when the magnitude 6.1 earthquake hit Manila and several provinces in Luzon.

“Hahahaha mas bagay na “under-worked” at “overpaid” si Duterte! Kung di tulog, nawawala, o high na high dahil sa Fentanyl.” Navarro said.

Several of her followers backed her statements against the President.

“I’d agree that Duterte is “overworked” if that term only exclusively applies to his mouth that never ceases to spew dirt. If it includes his whole persona as one rotten helluva President, that would be unfair. The rest of his system, from his brain down to his toe, they’re frigid.” Jed Cepe said.

Hours after she posted the tweet, President Rodrigo Duterte arrived in Pampanga to personally check the situation of the provinces and the victims.

Navarro is one of the celebrity critics of President Duterte and a known supporter of the opposition.

President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the government to make a way to deliver back the controversial container of trash sent by Canada to the Philippines.

Duterte wanted the garbages which delivered to the Philippines in 2013 to send back to Canada next week, ordering his cabinet members to prepare a boat or just dump it to the Canadian Embassy in Manila.

“Finance, yung basura ng Canada, I want a boat prepared. I’ll give a warning to Canada maybe next week that they better pull that thing out or I will set sail doon sa Canada at ibuhos ko ang basura nila doon.” Duterte said during the Situation Briefing on the Effects of Earthquake in Region III Provincial Capitol, San Fernando City, Pampanga April 23, 2019.

“I cannot understand why they’re making us a dump site,” he added.

The President said that he’s going to inform Canada that their garbage is coming back to their country soon.

“Prepare a grand reception, eat it if you want to,” Duterte told Canada.

He also mentioned again the controversial decision of Canada not to sell helicopters to the Philippines because of human rights concerns.

President Duterte even joked that he’s ready to declare war against Canada if they insist on their garbage to stay in the Philippines.

In 2013-2014, a total of 50 container vans containing household trash arrive in Manila and until now, despite the criticisms received by Canada, the garbages are still being kept by the Philippines.

Senatorial candidate and former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas visited one of the memorable places in his career as a public official.

Roxas who’s one of the officials who handled the Yolanda rescue operations in 2013 visited the Tacloban City market and talked to the people there.

In the photos showed by Roxas campaign team and some netizens, it seems that the senatorial candidate kept his profile low while visiting the market.

In his post, Roxas said that he was glad seeing Tacloban already recovered from Yolanda which destroyed their City six years ago.

” It’s good to be back in Tacloban Public Market where I was met with warm smiles, hugs, and greetings from the ever resilient Leyteños. Kahit papano magandang makita na tuloy-tuloy ang recovery at progreso ng Leyte.” Roxas said.

Roxas became controversial, especially to some people of Tacloban and blamed him for the alleged slow response of the government after Yolanda struck their province.

Meanwhile, several netizens expressed their support to Roxas in a Facebook page based in Tacloban City, saying that the senatorial candidate was warmly welcomed in the said place.

“Roxas parin talaga mga taclobanons. Mahal nila at patuloy nilang mamahalim ang isang mar roxas. Gaya ko na supportado ko siya noon hangang ngayon. Dito na tayo sa marmi ng naambag sa Pilipinas kay sa mga magnanakaw na pinalaya. Tpos naging kaalyado ng presidente. Tsk! Very wrong” Katherine Pamaran said.

“Kita naman na tanggap at warm ang welcome sa knya ng mga tga taclobanons. We love our number 1 senator. Patuloy lang tayo sir. Ibabalik at mababalik ka namin sa senado.” Mike Bato remarked.

At the same day, Tacloban felt the intensity 5 of the magnitude 6.5 earthquake in the said city and other provinces in the Visayas.

It’s not yet known if Roxas already left Tacloban after the earthquake as of writing.

Singer Leah Navarro criticized President Rodrigo Duterte who’s missing in action after a magnitude 6.1 earthquake hit NCR and several provinces in Luzon yesterday.

In a series of Tweet, Navarro said that while many problems are happening in the country, the President chose to sleep than to show his presence to the people.

“Earthquake in Luzon, water shortage and rotating brownouts in Manila, TRAIN Law troubles, Chinese incursions into our homeland. So many crises and problems requiring govt. attention and solutions. But Duterte is too tired to even attend a conference! #NasaanAngPangulo? Asleep!” Navarro said.

A netizen tried to defend Duterte, saying that the government agencies are working even without the Chief Executive’s presence, however, Navarro insisted that the government still needed the directive of the President.

According to her, if Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III is still the President, he would act quickly and order the government agencies to act fast.

“Sure, but they get their directives from the President. That’s not what you guys said when PNoy was around. You hounded him at every turn, complained and whined. PNoy and his Cabinet would’ve been in NDRRMC HQ hours ago. Meanwhile, your Duterte is fast asleep.” she said.

She also tweeted that during PNoy’s time, the former cabinet members like Mar Roxas and Dinky Soliman are ready to travel even to the epicenter of the earthquake and serve the people.

“During PNoy’s term, you wouldn’t have had to ask. Aside from sending @MARoxas @dinkysunflower @dawende Babes Singson, Volts Gazmin to the earthquake epicenter, he would’ve made sure @MMDA and AFP, PNP got moving with their free ride programs,” she remarked.

According to the Palace, the President is in Davao City during the time of the earthquake and didn’t attend the Boao forum in Manila.

The palace said that Duterte was overworked and chose to rest in his hometown.

Otso Diretso senatorial candidate Erin Tañada reminded President Rodrigo Duterte about their good relationship in the past.

According to Tañada, a former lawmaker from Quezon City, President Rodrigo Duterte who’s the Mayor of Davao City during that time wanted him to run as Senator in 2013.

The opposition candidate was reacting on the statements of the President, comparing the senatorial candidate to his father, former Senator Wigberto Tañada.

“Maraming Salamat sa pansin PDu30. Why then did you want to endorse me for the 2013 Senate elections if PNoy included me in the Senate slate? You went to the hotel I was staying to ask me if I was running… You said I deserved to be in the Senate!” Tañada posted on Twitter.

He’s one of the politicians eyed by the Aquino administration to run in 2013 as one of Liberal Party’s candidate, but this plan didn’t happen.

On April 17, President Duterte belittled Tañada together with other Otso Diretso senatorial candidates, saying that the latter is nothing compared to his father who’s his idol during his youth.

He also called Tañada as the defender of the communists.

“Erin Tañada. What’s in a name? Tatay niya idol namin lahat mga abugado, marami man tayo abugado dito. Binabasa natin ‘yung libro. Pero itong Erin na ito, we elected him once upon a time a senator. What did he do? Mag-sige depensa ng mga komunista sa korte,” Duterte said

“The government, which was paying for his salary, wala talagang ginawa. Ang tatay nationalist. Ito list lang, walang national,” he added.

The father of Tañada is a known activist and a critic of the Marcos administration.

 

 

Sen. Villar if she given a chance to be a VP: “Kung ako ang VP, if I cannot follow my President I’ll just keep quiet”

Re-electionst Senator Cynthia Villar said that she would avoid criticizing the President of the Philippines if someday she’d be given a chance to get the second highest position in the government.

During an interview, Karen Davila asked Villar if she’s really planning to run for a higher position in 2022, however, she said that getting the Vice Presidential post is part of a politician’s destiny and cannot be plan ahead.

She also believed that the Vice President should not criticize its President because criticizing your leader can make you unpopular in politics.

“Maski na iyun, pareho din yun (with running for president), mahirap pa yung Vice President you make sure that you can follow your President or else you’re in a mess,” said Villar.

“Ako kasi kung ako ang Vice President if I cannot follow my President I’ll just keep quiet. You know there’s a study na pag ikaw ay Vice President palagi mong inaaway ang President nagiging unpopular ka,” she added.

Villar denied that she’s giving indirect suggestions to Vice President Leni Robredo who’s a known critic of President Rodrigo Duterte.

She also expressed her support in the proposal where the winning presidential and vice presidential candidate would win as a tandem to avoid long-time conflicts while they’re in their position.

According to Villar, her beliefs came from her experience as a local politician before.

The lady senator is one of the possible winners of the 2019 senatorial elections, getting good rankings in several surveys.

Villar is getting support from PDP-Laban and Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) which are both pro-government political parties.

President Rodrigo Duterte said that they’re still paying the damages after the Philippines lost to the cases filed against the government during the time of former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay who’s now a senatorial candidate under Otso Diretso.

In a speech in Batangas on April 17, Duterte said that Hilbay failed to defend the government from the said cases and now even the current administration is obligated to pay for it.

According to him, the Philippines is known for breaching contracts.

“Ito si Florin Hilbay, solicitor general. Wala namang naipanalo. Nanalo ba tayo sa kaso natin? Karami nating bayad, totoo lang ngayon. Hindi akin, previous administration mga damages, mga kontrata because we were known then as a country who does not honor contractual obligations,” the President said.

Duterte also convinced the people that it’s useless to vote for Hilbay in the upcoming senatorial elections because he didn’t prove anything as a Solicitor General.

In 2011 The World Bank’s International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) ruled January 23, 2011, that former President Benigno Aquino III’s cancellation in 2011 of a Belgian firm’s P18-billion flood-control venture, the Laguna Lake Rehabilitation Project, was illegal and unfair.

The court ordered the Philippines to pay P800 million to the dredging firm Baagerwerken Decloedt En Zoon (BDZ).

President Rodrigo Duterte revealed why the Chinese government was very disappointed by former Chief Executive Benigno Aquino III and Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.

According to him, China personally told him about what happened during the Aquino administration, saying that Trillanes “tricked” the Chinese for money.

“Galit ang China sa atin di ba because if their tiff with Trillanes and Noynoy. Inotso nila yung intsik diyan eh. Pera. So hindi ko sinasabi pumunta kay Noynoy but sinabi ng Intsik,” Duterte said.

Duterte clarified that China didn’t mention if Aquino also got money from Sen. Trillanes’ alleged activities.

In 2012, former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile confronted Trillanes over the “secret” trips made by the latter in China which ended to the latter’s walk out in the senate hall.

Later on, Trillanes confirmed that he’s talking to the Chinese government after former President Aquino tasked him to talk with China.

“On the day the President was about to leave for UK, he called me up and told me, ‘Sonny, pa-tulong dahil meron yung barko ng China nasa loob pa rin when the agreement is simultaneous, may Agreement daw with Washington, according to the DFA, na simultaneous na lalabas.’ I asked him ‘If it was simultaneous, bakit nauna tayo?’ Anyway, it’s there. I was given the task of mediating to have those 2 ships removed, and they did through the backchannel negotiations,” Trillanes said in an interview in 2012.
