    Duterte longs for attention

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Mar 14, 2022 1:13 PM

    President Rodrigo Duterte seems to be longing for attention. He will be giving up the presidency in three and a half months and the awesome powers that go with it. He is quacking like a lame duck even before his successor is elected.

    By Meeko Angela Camba  |  Dec 20, 2021 10:30 AM

    Sa isang talumpati noong Agosto, sinabi mismo ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ang mga pampublikong opisyal ay “inuutusan [sa pamamagitan ng kanilang sinumpaang katungkulan] na magsabi ng totoo … kahit na wasakin sila ng katotohanan.” Ngunit ano ang mangyayari kapag nagsabi ang pangulo ng isang bagay ngayon at pagkatapos ay iniba ang sinabi, at pagkatapos ay iniba pa ulit sa sumunod na pagkakataon?
