'Wag munang mag-Christmas Party — P-Digong

ni Twincle Esquierdo | December 9, 2020

Hinimok ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte ang mamamayan na iwasan ang Christmas party at pagtitipon ngayong darating na Kapaskuhan upang maiwasan ang pagdami ng mga naaapektuhan ng COVID-19 sa bansa.

"You have had so many Christmas blowouts and parties. This one Christmas, the only Christmas maybe, that government will interfere in your private affairs. You might think, 'This is too much, government does not control us.' Of course, we cannot control you individually if what you do is what you want.

"Would you be kind enough to skip the...festivities? Iwasan muna ninyo. Avoid it because it is for your own good and for the good of the community, and eventually, for the good of your own country," sabi ni Duterte.

Una nang sinabi ni Interior Sec. Eduardo Año na hihigpitan nila ang pagpapatupad ng mga minimum health standard at quarantine protocols ngayong darating na Pasko partikular sa Metro Manila.

Ayon naman sa Department of Health, noong nakaraang buwan pa umano nila ito pinaghahandaan dahil posibleng lumaki ang bilang ng kaso ng Covid-19. Gumagawa na ng contingency plan ang DOH na magbibigay-daan sa mga health authorities at iba pang opisyal na tumugon sa "post-holiday season surge," ayon kay DOH Sec. Francisco Duque.

Nauna nang ipatupad ng DOH ang Department Circular 2020-0355 o Reiteration of Minimum Public Health Standards para sa COVID-19 Mitigation sa panahon ng Kapaskuhan upang mapaalalahanan ang publiko na patuloy na sumunod sa mga minimum health standards.

P-Duterte: Makabayan at Bayan, front ng komunista

Hindi pinalagpas ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang isyu ng red-tagging sa kanyang public speech ngayong Lunes. Saad ni P-Duterte, “Let’s start with the… unahin ko na ‘to, ha. Itong mga legal fronts ng komunista, lahat ‘yan… Makabayan, Bayan, they are all legal fronts. Gabriela… hindi ‘yan sila… we are not red-tagging you. We are identifying you as members in a grand conspiracy comprising all the legal fronts they have organized headed by NDF at Communist Party of the Philippines."

Aniya, “Ilang tao na galing doon sa inyong camp at openly have attacked you, not only criticized for your share brutally in this communal war. Communal war ito, there is no longer any ideology. Wala itong mga komunista, wala nang ideyolohiya, gusto lang nila umagaw ng gobyerno. Mga bobo naman ang put*ng in*.

“Sino ang mga bright, si (Jose Maria) Sison? ‘Yan ‘yung bright, si Sison? Susmaryosep! “Iharap mo si Sison sa akin, magdebate kami. “Ano’ng nakuha mo riyan sa ideology na communism?”

Saad pa ng Pangulo, “You are accusing the… red-tagging you. No, the Armed Forces of the Philippines is very correct. You are being identified as the members of the communists para alam namin. ‘Yun ang totoo, hindi red-tagging. ‘Yang si Zarate, si Casi… lahat kayo. Kita mo? Puro abogado ng… susmaryosep.”

Aniya, “Alam mo, sabihin ko, nangailangan ka ng pera. That’s the only reason. Komunista ka to defend an oligarch. Hindi ka naman suma cum laude, pareho naman tayong pumasa ng bar. Kung magsalita ka, you make it appear that you are milking the government.”

Binanatan din ni P-Duterte si Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate. Aniya, “Alam mo sa totoo, Zarate, ‘pag nakikita kita sa TV, para akong nakakita ng tae ng aso. Totoo lang.” Samantala, minsan nang pinabulaanan ni Zarate ang pagiging miyembro umano ng CPP.

Aniya sa hearing ng Senate Committee on National Defense, "Tahasan kong sinasabi sa komiteng ito, Mr. Chair, na hindi ako miyembro ng Communist Party of the Philippines o CPP. Hindi ako rebelde at hindi ako miyembro ng National Democratic Front of the Philippines. "Tahasan ko ring pinasisinungalingan na ang aking partido, ang Bayan Muna, ay creation at kontrolado ng Communist Party of the Philippines.”

Sinungaling pa raw… P-Du30 kay VP Leni: You cannot become a President. Mahina ka!

Binanatan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte si Vice- President Leni Robredo at ang kanyang mga kritikong nagkalat ng “#NasaanAngPangulo” nang manalasa sa bansa ang Bagyong Ulysses.

Pahayag ni P-Duterte, “I would like to just give a caution to the Vice-President. She made a blunder, a big one, and she practically lied, making her incapable of truth. “Alam mo, ‘yung pakana niya na wala ako sa bagyo, I was here.

Dito, I was attending a summit. ASEAN Summit ‘yun. So, virtual lang, palit-palit kami, we were talking sa electronic. 'Andito ako noon. Kasagsagan ng bagyong dumaan diyan sa labas, nag-uusap kami rito.”

Aniya pa, “I am sure that you knew of the ASEAN Summit going on and that I was delivering the intervention… statement of intervention for China and the China coordinator, ASEAN China and I was also making my own statement of how the ASEAN approved documents would impact on our economy later on.

Hindi ako natutulog. “Ganito ‘yan, Vice-President, makinig ka. Hindi ka rin kasi siguro nakinig noon, eh. Remember, kayong mga Pilipino, sinabi ko sa inyo, prangkahan, sa press conference, that I am a night person. I worked on the state government documents sa gabi.”

Saad pa ni P-Duterte, “Kung sabihin mong may emergency, natutulog ako sa umaga, hindi ako natulog noon. Gumising ako ng umaga because of the Summit.” Aniya, bago pa umano dumating ang bagyo ay nakapaghanda na ang pamahalaan. Pahayag pa ni P-Duterte,

“Kapag sinabi mong nasaan ako, I can ask the entire government machinery and foreign affairs, 'andito ako, nagsasalita.” Hindi rin umano maniniwala ang military kay VP Leni dahil saad ni P-Duterte, “Kung hindi mo alam, puro military na ang humawak niyan, si Jalad who is... sa disaster na talaga for the longest time,' 'andoon na ‘yan; Rolly Bautista, former general sa Army, nandoon na ‘yan, nakapuwesto na. “Lahat ng kailangan du’n, 'andu’n na.

There was no need for you to make a very masamang biro na ‘Where were you?’ Kung sabihin ko tuloy sa 'yo, 'What time did you go home?' “‘Wag kang masyadong porma-porma. Hindi mo talaga panahon. Hindi ninyo alam na nagtatrabaho ako, na-timing-an na there was a summit and I cannot excuse you for not knowing it. You knew that there was a summit going on.

“Kung ‘yan ang paradigm mo sa presidente, sabihin mo ‘Nasaan ka, Presidente?’ the storm was all over Luzon, saan mo ako gustong ilagay doon? Sa inyo? Sa Bicol, sa Naga? O dito ako sa Parañaque? May baha rin, eh.

So ‘Where were you?’ hindi na kailangan akong mag-order on the day. “You are presuming that I should give an order on the day of the storm, that is stupid. That’s why you cannot become a president, really. Mahina ka, eh.

Wala ka nang ibibigay na order kasi ang order, ibibigay, 2 or 3 days. You do not give order on the day of the war, patay ka. Kung ganu’n ka, ‘wag ka nang magtakbong presidente, talagang mahina ka.

You do not know and then you lied. You were not honest.” Inunahan din daw siya ni VP Leni sa pagpunta sa Bicol. Pahayag ni P-Duterte, “Do not compete with me and do not start a quarrel with me. Kasi ikaw, wala ka talagang nagawa.”
