From PDI - Pres Duterte and stupid God comment
A former union leader, a leftist whom I talked to this morning warns of possible collapse of the current administration because of several factors:
1. Disenchantment from the masses because of rise in prices. The invisible benefit of more take home pay due to bigger income tax exemption could not overshadow the rising prices... from jeepney fare, electricity, water, consumer goods. The excise tax on fuel, it could not be denied, started the inflation. (aabot ng P4.50/litter)
2. Rising spate of killings and criminality. Despite claims of victory vs drug lords and addicts, crimes vs lives and property is uncontrolled
3. Controversial statements against God. That would rub the Catholics the wrong way, and make them enemies...Many posts are appearing experessing anger vs the President. And if God is stupid, which gives him power (Romans 13:22) then that makes him stupid. The Stupid God giving power to a stupid person...ha6) Dapat walang nang ganun. Its OK to rant vs Obama and other visible persons but about beings whom we do not see, and above us....
90% of Filipinos (and probably who put him into power) are Christians? Why are they not rising up in arms against him yet?
4. The Concon and federalism. Many people do not understand, are against it, and for many practical reason. And those ruling the country would want this to be railroaded (if not bulldozed) rammed into the throat of the people
The country's leader and his cabinet, his sub alterns, I believe are more intelligent and circumspect than what these actions takens
