Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte slammed Senator Antonio Trillanes IV for claiming that President Rodrigo Duterte is pushing her to run for the presidency in 2022.

Yesterday, according to the news reports, Trillanes said that the only choice of President Rodrigo Duterte to maintain his power is to let his daughter Inday Sara replace him in Malacanang.

‘Pag di natuloy ‘yan, wala na siyang magagawa [kundi] option C niya ay itutulak niya si Sara Duterte bilang pangulo sa 2022, pero ang unang hakbang niyan ay itulak siya para senador sa 2019,” Trillanes said at the general assembly of opposition coalition Tindig Pilipinas.

However, Inday Sara denied the claims of Senator Trillanes and warned him to leave her alone or else, the Magdalo politician might have a difficult time in his future political plans.

She mentioned former House Speaker Prospero Nograles as the last politician who spoke against her and she said that he became “billion pesos poorer” after he lost an election against her.

“LEAVE ME ALONE, Senator Trillanes. The last time a person irked me, I made sure to make it difficult for him to bring me down and Speaker Boy Nograles lost that election and was a billion pesos poorer.” Inday Sara said in her Facebook post.

“Like Speaker Alvarez, my advice to you is not to think of me, speak of my name, not even a whisper of Inday Sara from your ugly lips.“ she added.

Inday Sara said that if Trillanes would not stop in speaking about her, the opposition which the senator belongs might also spend billions of pesos in the 2022 Presidential elections.

“Leave me in peace in Davao City or else you and your friends will spend more than a billion in the 2022 Presidential elections just to make me insignificant,” she told Trillanes.

The Davao City Mayor didn’t specify what she meant; however, several netizens guessed that Inday Sara could run for President to give the opposition a hard time to gain power.

Inday Sara also denied again that she’s eyeing for a senatorial seat in the next year’s election.

“Let me repeat, do not bother me and my slot will be available for a yellow Senator for the 2019 elections,” she said.

In the last part of her message to Trillanes, she described herself as worst than her father because if President Duterte wants the Magdalo senator to be shot, she might prefer the Senator to be alive and suffer.

“President Duterte imagines you will be shot, on the other hand, I will make sure you are alive and in pain.” she said.

” I have been described as heartless by my mother, please do not anger me so that you may remain relevant for the future generation. And you should listen to my mother.“ she added.

This is not the first time that Inday Sara criticized Senator Trillanes.

In February, the Davao City Mayor said that Trillanes might be “hooked on something” that made him obsessed with President Duterte.

“I am starting to believe the rumors that Trillanes is hooked on something that must have disrupted his sanity, destroyed his dreams, and triggered his obsession with President Duterte.” Inday Sara said in her interview.

The garbage problem in Metro Manila has resulted in a billion of pesos expenses to the government as they need to clean the waterway to avoid the future disaster like what happened in 2009 during the typhoon Ondoy.

According to the article of ABS-CBN news, Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) spent P1-B just to maintain the cleanliness of the rivers and drainage along the National Capital Region.

“Ang budget sa paglilinis ng estero, approximately, [pati] sa flood control nasa P1 billion… Ang mandato ngayon, cleaning lang dahil hindi hawak ng MMDA ang relocation ng mga informal settlers,”  MMDA general manager Jojo Garcia said during the interview.

Some people believe that even the government workers clean the drainage every day, the garbage problem in the Philippines would not be solved because of the undisciplined informal settlers who chose to live beside the waters.

The houses of the informal settlers don’t have any proper comfort room, so their waste is being dropped along the river.

Even the trash collectors in Metro Manila said that the people are still not practicing proper waste disposal.

The government is doing their efforts to relocate the informal settlers in different provinces so they can rehabilitate the rivers along Metro Manila easily.

They also urged the residents near the canals to help the government in cleaning their place.

Social media users have been disturbed by the photos taken at Estero De Magdalena in Tondo, Manila showing the serious problem of the National Capital Region in the garbage.

They were saddened that despite what happened in Ondoy, some people were still not disciplined and doesn’t care if another big flood happened because of the improper waste disposal.

When Ondoy struck in 2009, most of the places in Metro Manila has been flooded and the government blamed the garbages which blocked the floodways for the disaster.

“Naka shabu po ba kayo?”

This is what pro-Duterte blogger and International relations expert Sass Rogando Sasot asked Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano for saying that the Philippines is capable of engaging war with China.

Sasot can’t believe how the former Navy officer could say that the Philippines has the force to declare war on China which ranked as the world’s number three in terms of Military Strenght.

She asked Alejano to explain how the Philippines could win a war with a big nation.

The blogger even suspected that the lawmaker is using illegal drugs and it already gave him hallucinations.

“Seryoso po kayo? Kakaiba itong si Alejano no… nag deteriorate na ba yang shabu? ganyan na ang iniisip.” Sasot said during her live video about the statement of Alejano.

She also said that the army quickly crushed Alejano together with his group Magdalo when they launched a coup d’etat against the Arroyo administration.

“Eh kayo nga po noong nag launch kayo ng kudeta laban kay GMA siya nga lang hindi kayo manalo-nalo sa China pa?” She said.

Sasot pointed out that the Philippines didn’t win any war against any country alone.

“Ano na bang gera ang napalalunan ng Pilipinas as a republic ha.. we never fought a war.. we fought a war along with another power but we never won a war on our own,” she said.

She asked her followers if Alejano already need to be put in a mental hospital.

Sass also said that Alejano’s mate, Trillanes didn’t succeed in his alleged back-door negotiations with China before.

On Thursday, Gary Alejano claimed that the Philippines is capable of declaring war with China, however, he believes that the Chinese can’t afford to go to war because of the possible negative response of the international community.

“What’s the use of the armed forces if you’re not going to use it? We are strengthening the armed forces and that’s the message to the international community on how they should treat us,” Alejano said during an interview with One News’ Convo.

Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson urged the supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte to unite and not to be affected by the recent issues which she’s involved.

In her post, she clarified that there’s no bad blood between her and Special Assistant to President Christopher “Bong” Go.

“Gusto ko lamang po sabihin at linawin sa lahat- wala pong hidwaan sa aming dalawa ni SAP Bong Go. Mahal at suportado ko po siya.” Uson said in her Facebook post.

She urged the Filipino people to move on, however she claimed that the people are only trying to manipulate by a “drama queen”.

Mocha is apparently referring to Kris Aquino who criticized her because of the video that she uploaded featuring Ninoy Aquino being kissed by her supporters before being assassinated in 1983.

She believed that Aquino only wanted to divide the supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte for her personal gains.

“Move on na po tayo. Lahat tayo ay niloloko ng isang drama queen. Sinubukan tayong i-divide para sa sarili niyang pang- interes. SOLID TAYO! Walang bibitaw!”.

Several personalities and bloggers cheered Mocha Uson and Christopher Bong Go.

They also praised Uson for her decision to end all the issue and speculations by some supporters.

“Every KRISis presents both a danger and opportunity. After this, both Mocha and BG will become stronger. World peace and loving kindness! Thank you Panty!” Sass Rogando Sasot told Uson.

“Walang KRISis ang makakatibag satin acheh! Solid!” Uson responds.

“Two people who really love the country, support the President and are passionate about their work. GOD Bless You SAP Bong and Asec Mocha!” DFA Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano told Mocha.

“Ang pakiusap ko lang naman sa mga kaDDS natin na MAGKAISA tayo!!! Wag naman tayong magwatak watak!! Wag tayong magaway away dahil lang sa maliit na bagay. Nagkakaroon ng division dahil pinasok tayo ng baliw na babae. YUN ANG KALABAN natin. HINDI SI MOCHA AT HINDI RIN SI BONG GO!!” Blogger Drew Oliver remarked.

The apology sent by Bong Go to Kris Aquino during the press conference in Malacanang on Wednesday gave speculations that the assistant of the President threw Mocha under the bus.

However, it was cleared that President Rodrigo Duterte is the one who ordered Go to apologize, he also asked Mocha to say sorry, however, the communications assistant secretary invoked her right to freedom of expression.

“Yes totoo yun, I said to Bong tell the other one (Mocha) for the incident because she works for me sa Malacañan. I asked Mocha to apologize to Kris, but there’s a verbal tussle there. She invoked freedom of speech.” Duterte said yesterday.
