After Gab Valenciano aired his opinions about presidential hopeful Rodrigo Duterte, mixed reactions graced social media. Some were agreeing to Gab but most were not. One was entertainer, Mocha Uson. She talked about what the Philippines needed and compared it to a doctor treating illness. She metaphorically explained her side about being morally correct and being a capable president.
MORALIST OR PRESIDENT?
(My reaction to Gab Valenciano’s FB post )Many anti-Duterte focus on the issue of morality. But the real question is – do we need a good role model or a capable President? Simple lang naman po ito, our country is so sick and we need a good doctor to help us. And here come the moralists questioning the doctor’s righteousness and morality? Shouldn’t we be more concerned about the doctor’s experience and capability to treat disease and illness? Now do you get my point? If you want a morally “righteous” leader then let’s vote for the priests and the religious people. Now how do you catch drug pushers? How do you pursue corrupt policemen and politicians? How do you put an end to the LAGLAG BALA syndicate? Call the priests?
Morality should not be the deciding factor in choosing our next president. MORAL STANDARDS mean different things to different people according to their belief. What is morally right to you might be morally wrong to me, and what is morally wrong to you might be morally right to me.
Mr. GAB VALENCIANO, I remember you posted a few months ago on your FB that you “don’t owe it (Philippines) a thing” and now here you are tweeting your sentiments toward our country – “how socially uneducated the country has become. What has happened to my fellow countrymen? It’s so sad”. (@gabvalenciano twitter)
Wala ka namang alam sa tunay na kalagayan na mga Pilipino because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and you are not even here. You don’t know what’s really happening in our streets. Our country is radically ill and we need a radical leader to create radical change. We need a leader who’s willing to sacrfice himself for the sake of his country.
Eto ang tanong, ano ba ang kailangan natin MORALISTA O PRESIDENTE?
“I do not care if I burn in hell for as long as the people I serve live in paradise” – Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte.
Do you agree with what Mocha said? Why or why not?
may mga nagsasabi na linisin daw muna nila sarili nila bakuran bago pumuna ng kung anu anu sa isang tao… tumatakbo kasi pagka presidente si sir kaya talagang ganun nalang batikusin siya… tama din yun, linisin muna nila ang sariling bakuran bago pumuna… si sir ba naglinis na? si mocha ba naglinis na din? o edi mag linis tayo lahat… hirap sa atin eh pare-pareho naman tayo!
Gab Valenciano is not running for President. He is not on the chopping board. We need a good President, not necessarily a priest. Certainly, killing, even criminals is a crime. Having two wives, two girlfriends all at the same time is none of our business in choosing our leader? Certainly, Mayor Duterte can be a good President without all of these minuses. Gab might just be saying the obvious.
shitty mouth? he’s just being honest, he’s just doing it differently. does Duterte have the copyright on honesty? you’re probably irritated because he has values he can stand on and you have yet to find yours. sometimes the truth comes to you like hitting a brick wall.
I agree with Mocha everything she said is true. yes we need a President that has the heart to take care of his country and people. My thing is, when it is campaigning season every candidate is promissing the moon and the stars to the voting public.Pero pag naka upo na sa Malacanyang nasaan na ang moon and stars? ay wala naging bulalakaw.ngayon boboto nanaman tayo. sakaling manalo si Mayor Duterte suportahan natin baka mayron syang ibang paraan na mabawasan ang mga bwaya ng ating mahal na Pilipinas dahil napaka talamak na talaga.nakakalungkot isipin na ganito ang inabot natin.now morality is a big word, I dont think there is anyone in our time is good at it. because the famous expression today is Jesus f—ng christ.Merry christmas to all and a Happy New year.
I partly agree with Mocha but we need both a morally right and a capable president. I know it’s hard to make a perfect candidate and Duterte can be capable but so immoral . In saying this, people faces a delimna. The question is, are we ready to become the next “president Mugabe’s country ” where soldier goons are ready to wipe out undesirables in a brutal way?
