UK citizen slams The Times’ story on Isabelle DU30 photoshoot

Malcolm Conlan, a United Kingdom citizen, took to Facebook to complain about an article released in The Times about the pre-debut photo shoot of presidential granddaughter Isabelle Duterte.

Isabelle Duterte, the granddaughter of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, was recently under fire from netizens because of the pre-debut photo shoot she conducted in the Malacañang Palace.

In his post, Conlan directed his open letter to the editor of the Times Newspaper in London.

He said he wrote to show concern over the way the media agency covered the story on Isabelle’s photo shoot.

He stated how President Duterte was legitimately elected into position and has contributed a lot to the reduction of crime, corruption and poverty in the country.

Conlan went to defend Isabelle’s photo shoot stating that it was only right that she marked her “once in a lifetime occasion” by having a photo shoot in the Palace. He also said how Isabelle had no control over the presence of the presidential seal, because she could not have covered it up as well.

He also clarified that Isabelle’s family did not pay anything because the cost of the photo shoot was waived by family friends. Thus the accusations of unnecessary extravagance did not hold any truth to them.

Ending his post, he called out Times who swayed to “international biased media”. And made a plea to support President Dutete because he actually wants a better country for its citizens.

An Open Letter to the Times, London...

The Editor 

The Times Newspaper

Dear sir,

I am writing to you over concerns of your coverage of the recent photoshoot of the granddaughter of President of the Philippines, Isabelle Duterte.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was duly elected as President of the Republic of the Philippines by over 16 million Filipinos. Filipinos who care about the state of the country and desperately want reductions in crime, corruption and poverty. All of which by the way, have been reduced under his leadership.

As part of the package of being President, you are afforded the privilege of living in Malacanang palace. Isabelle, I am very sure is very proud of her grandfather and as such, I believe that’s it’s only right that she marked the once in a lifetime occasion of her debut by holding a photoshoot in the palace.

Some have commented that she should not have posed in front of the President seal, why ever not? What was she supposed to do, cover it up with masking tape? This is her family home whilst her grandfather is in office.

By the way, the actual cost of the photoshoot was waived, I am sure the outfits she wore, were also leant for the occasion too, so accusations of the event being very expensive are grossly misrepresented by those who just want to insult the 1st family, at a time where the President needs the support of all of the Filipino people.

At a time where there is such much going on worldwide, is it really so important to The Tines to somehow join other international biased media in finding fault with the Duterte administration and family, when the truth of it is, that corruption is down, crime is down and over 1.5 million Filipinos have given up their dependency on illegal drugs.

Millions of pesos owed to the government are being collected in unpaid taxes and fees, millions of pesos each month are being ploughed back into public hospitals, education and the infrastructure.

When the Philippines finally has found a President who actually wants a better country for its citizens, why not support him, rather than condemn him and his family?

Thank you

Kind regards

Malcolm Conlan
