SO WHAT MAKES RODRIGO R. DUTERTE DANGEROUS?
By Jun Abines
The most dangerous man in the world is a father protecting his family and loved ones. No amount of money, danger or blackmail can change the mind of a father in exchange for the safety and future of his loved ones. He either live or die protecting his family.
They said every politician has a price. I agree. But not Tatay Digong. Because he is a father first, a leader second, and a politician in that order. He knows his priority. That is the reason why he is the most loved Filipino president who ever lived.
The recent kidnapping of FPRRD by Gen. Nicolas Torre III and sending him to The Hague without due process was probably the biggest blunder the Marcos Jr. Administration ever done. It puts FPRRD in the world stage and give every Filipino the chance to show how much they loved him.
Why do they need to kidnap a man who is already 80 years old, very weak and can barely walk? Why are they so afraid of him?
The answer is simple. The man captures the heart and earns the love and respect of most Filipinos. He has an army of tens of millions willing to do anything for him.
Since PBBM sat in Malacañang in 2022, rumors after rumors of AFP and PNP Generals wanting to stage a coup. But FPRRD kept saying military adventurism is not his cup of tea. All he did was constantly warn and remind PBBM not to follow the footsteps of his father.
Sadly, PBBM is not the kind who listen to a stern warning. He instead sent the man to ICC in the hope of silencing him.
The roar of Filipinos' anger and overwhelming support to FPRRD has been heard around the world loud and clear. The biggest 80th Birthday Party celebration of FPRRD around the world was a mere warning shot.
Imagine if Filipinos unite to march to Mendiola all at once. Can ten battalion of riot police stop them?
The bond between FPRRD is as solid as an atom. Any attempt to break or separate them may cause nuclear chain reaction.
So what makes FPRRD so dangerous that he needs to be sent away?
Because once he speaks in a clear unequivocal manner that Filipinos must rise and stand up against Marcos Jr. Administration, the Filipinos may listen to him.
But FPRRD being a loving father and a leader remained cool. He chose to warn President Marcos Jr. and give him a chance to correct his course of action. He chose to keep reminding the PNP and AFP to do what is right and protect the Filipino people instead of the corrupt Commander-In-Chief.
There is a good chance FPRRD will never say the words that will encourage violence and rebellion against Marcos Jr. Administration. The man may be dangerous when he speaks, but all his action in his 6 years as President speaks more of love, than rage or hatred.
He was just being a father talking tough to put things in order. Even the alleged EJK against him could not produce solid evidence except 43 cases that could be just results of legit operation and encounter between policemen and drug syndicates.
I guess the real reason why FPRRD is considered dangerous by his enemies is because he gave back pride, dignity and self-respect to every Filipino. He exposed the sins of the United States, the Catholic Church, the Oligarchs and the Communists to the Filipinos. He showed the Filipinos what a true leader should be doing. And most of all, he awakens patriotism in the hearts and mind of every Filipinos.
In the last hundreds of years the Catholic Church, the United States, the Oligarchs, the mainstream media and the communist tried their best to divide and keep Filipinos under their control. Because the Philippines is but their milking cow.
Rodrigo R. Duterte has awakened the hearts and minds of the Filipinos that we were never free from the slavery of unseen foreign hands. That the freedom and independence we had were all but tricks and illusions. That what makes him the most dangerous Filipino alive.
