It is more fun criticizing

The alleged cursing of the Pope by Presidential Candidate Rodrigo Duterte was alleged to be taken out of context. The issue at hand was the traffic when the Pope arrived.  The PDP Laban did not take care of the media well.

Ganito context nuon.  I was there when he said it. He was in a humorous mood when mentioning the vulgarities. (nagtatawanan kami noon) when the issue of the traffic which is related to the airport came out.  He just mentioned the vulgarity as part of the sentence and not to curse the Pope himself.
 He mentioned that if we only have more airports, the planes could land elsewhere when a VIP arrives. And since we only have one, the arrival of the Pope became
 the reason for the heavy traffic. Yung lang yun. No real intent to disrespect.
We cannot just change his way of delivering his message, which was a product of many decades of fighting an evil culture in his hometown. He may have his flaws but i think he can deliver the what i call "culture change" that we need. This presidential elections, is now a classic case of "choosing the lesser evil who has a genuine heart for the people."
