How disrepectful of the President, ayaw makipag usap;   may mga representative na leftist sa gobyerno


Pres Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivered his second SONA today.  It was simpler, friendlier with protesters;   he later faced the protesters, where he was heckled and "nabastos".   Later he held a press conference where more detailed discussion of his plans were laid out.

Some highlights:

1.  His war on drugs would be unending and relentless;

2.  He hit again the US and UN for their criticisms on drug war and alleged human rights violation.  He can not be cowed by threat that me may be jailed by ICJ for human rights violation.  He has been in and out of jail before and is no longer afraid of that threat;

3.  He decried the TROs being directed vs govt laws,  like the RH law; the medicines were wasted and had expired because of the SC meddling in legislative and executive matters

4.  He supported the backs of his soldier ins Marawi and said he went there and his attitude there was he was prepared to die.   One must face an adverse situation with equanimity especially with regards to death

5.  He repeated his anger over corruption in govt, citing the case of as a friend former Sec. Sueno

6.  He is aghast over the ambush  by NPA of the PSG convoy in Davao.  Boy was he happy that he  brought armored vehicles.  His convoy was machine gunned

7.  He said that Joe Ma Sison is sick with colon cancer and said he is prepared to go to war with CPP for the next 50 years.   He chided the activists outside of BP building to go home because they are just wasting their time.  They will get nothing if ISIS let us say get into power.  He even hinted that later on those promoting anarchy can be shot if they dont stop
