 THE TALL ORDER By Mon Datol Even Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is not in approval of the strong comment made by her father PrezRo- dy last Friday to declare a revolution- ary government by suspending the writ of habeas corpus just to throw his critics to jail. Sa sinabi ni PrezRody… Tumindig balahibo at ngatal sa nginig lahat ng kritiko ni PDU 30! Mayor Sara, a lawyer like his Ta- tay Digong, said that only Congress under the Constitution can suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas cor- pus, legally. Eh, what if PDU30 is fully pissed off with his critics and suspend the writ of habeas corpus… Ala-Lodi nyang Ferdinand E. Marcos? Opkors, di gagawin iyon ni PDU30 kahit na maburyong pa itong Tatay Digong ni Mayor Sara. The president just made the ‘threat’ to his critics par- ticularly Senator Franklin Drillon after the Senate Minority Leader made an advice to the administration to tread carefully or risk being sued after PDU30 had ordered a review of all government contracts. Sa Pilipins, takutan ang laban, eyh, ang pumikit talo. Hehehe PDU30 is known for cracking jokes every time he opens his mouth in press conferences or even in huge gatherings that if you don’t know him by now, you’ll believe he means what he says. But with his warning of sus- pending the writ of habeas corpus to jail his critics, everyone, allies and critics, even the ICC were shocked, PHILIPPINE ASIAN NEWS TODAY April 1 - 15, 2019 Sara, allies, foes buck Rody’s ‘rev gov’ threat frightened and vowed to ‘fight’ such action by Tatay Digong ni Inday Sara. Iba kasing magalit at magmura Tatay Digong ni Inday Sara eh… Nagugulo ng todo tabakuhan sa buong mundo… Well, two of the President’s allies in the Senate said he was unlikely to declare a revolutionary government as Senate President Vicente Sotto III said the President was just frustrated and commented: “I’m sure he will have a better outlook once his programs against criminality become more suc- cessful. Suspension of the writ has proper constitutional safeguards while a revolutionary war is a metaphor.” Senator Panfilo Lacson also said the President will not do it “because he is too smart and intelligent to know he cannot do it.” Korek kayo dyan, Tito Sen and Sen. Lacson…. Di pinangunguhan ang matatanda, lalo na Presidente pa like PDU30… Another PDU30’s rabid critics led by Otso Diretso candidate Chel Dio- kno continue their international de- monization campaign against him by using the United Nation as a stage to take their tirades against the president over the war on drugs in our country. PDU30 says Diokno is a bad copy of the prominent Sen. Jose Diokno dahil ang anak… Nabagok ulo ng bumagsak sa lupa. That’s what differ Canadian poli- tics to ours, eyh. Here in Canada, the three major political parties, thru their party leaders, ‘attack’ the GOP or the sitting PM or Premier on their ‘failure’ to implement their campaign promises or programs and/or alleged ‘shady’ transactions for party or per- sonal gains. Professional politics, kung baga… sa Pinas? Halukayan bituka, matira ma- tibay! Why do we have to use interna- tional tribunals to intervene in the local affairs of our country? Why do some politicians resort to dismantling the somewhat beautiful image our coun- try has already painted in the eyes of the world by creating ‘monsters’ they themselves are afraid to face in the local arena? Dangkasi, walang nanini- wala sa kanila mga atungal at…. KSP sila sa sariling bayan! PRDU30’s war on drugs is well- accepted by the vast majority of the Pinoys anywhere in the world. Only PDU30 has the true balls among the last 3 presidents to face these drug cartels and fight the drug lords to ‘ubusan ng lahi mula umaga hangang madaling araw.’ Kasama na Linggo at siesta time, ha! Human rights violations ang laging sigaw ng mga kritiko ni PDU30 pag me napapatay na mga tulak ng droga. Pero, tahimik lang mga ito pag me napatay ang mga drug pushers na Pulis, sundalo or PDEA agents. Ano kayang pag-iisip yon? Double stan- dard of justice, eyh? Onli in da Pilipins. We don’t have a doctor sa Senado, thus, my strong recommendation for Doc Willie Ong! Kasama sa bucket list ko sina Pia Cayetano, Freddie ‘Anak’ Aguilar at co-journo Jiggy Manicad. Pede rin sina Nancy Binay, Bong Revilla, Raffy Alunan, JV Ejercito at kahit 94 na, Ka Juan Enrile. Iboto po natin yong sa palagay natin… Maglilingkod ng tapat at hara- pan... di talikuran. Muli po ay hinihingi ko sa ating mga botante na iboto po natin muli ang Senior Citizens Party list #130 para tayo mabigyan pa ng marami benepisyo mula sa ating gobiyerno. Meron na po tayong 20% discount sa mga gamut, pagkain, pamasahe, li- breng parking spaces sa Quezon City at iba pang lugar sa MM, Php100,000 para sa mga aabot ng 100 years na ginagawang mapababa ng 80 years old para ma-enjoy agad ang biyayang ito. Malapit na rin pong maging batas, kapag napirmahan na ni Pangulong Dutette ang HB 8837 o’ ang National Commission for Senior Citizens na gi- nawa ng author na si Cong. Francisco G. Datol, Jr, ang No. 1 nominnee ng Senior Citizens Party list, na lalo pang magpapalakas ng estado ng mga se- niors at eldes sa buong bansa. Hindi po dahil sa elder brother ko si Di-Cong Jun Datol kayat ikinakam- panya ko ang Senior Citizens Partylist #130 sa balota, kung hindi para po sa ating lahat na mga Pinoy senior citi- zens na dapat lang na mabigyan ng karampatang benipisyo at pagkilala sa ating mga na iyambag sa ating bayan. Maraning salamat po. Bumoto po tayo. Huwag sayangin ang karapatang ito, kabayan!
