Duterte upholds democracy, warns not to cause trouble

President Rodrigo Duterte permits the masses to stage a protest against him and even to burn effigies of him should it be to their favor, but he warns the prospective protesters not to utilize Rebels or weapons during the rally.

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Assistant Secretary Lorraine Badoy emphasized how clearly Duterte upholds democracy by allowing, and even encouraging, his dissenters to hold a rally against him. 

The President went as far as declaring the protest day a holiday and all public spaces would be made available for the protesters. Badoy, however, warned the communist nuns and priests not to intervene by bringing in children to the rally.

Duterte lives up to his role as a problem-solver of the nation and vows not to be affected by the protest. However, Duterte will summon the military and police should there be violence.

In Badoy full post on retired General Abe Purugganan’s Facebook, she said,

"For the communists:

DON'T BE FOOLISH.

The AFP and PNP are ready for you.

Sa mga pari at madreng komunista na nagtatawag ng rally para pabagsakin ang Duterte administration, mabuti pa ay mag prayer intercession na lang kayo sa inyong mga simbahan. Huwag ninyong itulak ang kabataan at mamamayan sa kapahamakan.Lumuhod at magdasal na lang na walang gulo. Huwag ninyo ng pamunuan at pangunahan ang kaguluhan.

Sa mga magulang, pagsabihan ang mga anak at kabataan na huwag palinlang at pagamit sa mga komunista.

...The President on the upcoming rally against him:

"At this early, I am announcing that I am ordering a holiday para walang masaktan, walang ano, kung may demonstration diyan magkagulo. Walang trabaho ang gobyerno ng araw na iyan at ang classes ay suspended. Lahat ng public places dito na gusto niyo i-occupy, kunin niyo. Walang pulis na magpapatrolya laban sa inyo.

Ang sinasabi ko lang, I will assign kakaunting pulis to maintain traffic para hindi maabala yung hindi kasali. Ito lang ang hinihingi ko sa inyo, wag niyong gawin na magsira kayo, you vandalize, magsunog kayo ng mga ganun ganun. Yung effigy ko sunugin niyo. Make an effigy yung kamukha ko maski isang libo.

Yan ang trabaho ng presidente, taga-solve ng problema. It will not affect me because I'm not up for any other election. Tapos na ako. I do not have to make myself popular pero do not take the law into your own hands.

Wag kayong magpapasok ng Red army ninyo na may armas. Wag kayong magkamali na magsira diyan, sira dito because if you do it, the next thing ang kaharap ninyo would be the mlitary and police." 

Klaro.

Demokrasya. Buhay na buhay."
