Duterte : The Puzzle They Can't Solve by Jun Abines

in politics •  5 years ago  (edited)

In 2016, the evil powers that milked the Philippines dry for 34 years thought that the newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte was nothing but a patsy. Yes, he may have been a genius in "stealing" the Presidential seat out of their "nets" but it was just round one!

This "old, arrogant and foul mouthed probinsyano" has no idea whom he is up against, his enemies thought. How dare him challenge the gang of powerful entities and organizations that have been the gods and lords of Filipinos for hundreds of years!

"This old crazy man from Mindanao must go before he starts dismantling our alliance and common empire!" That was the common cry of the Catholic Church, the Oligarchs, the CCP-NPA, the Drug lords, the Liberal Party and thier minions holding key government seats. Of course the CIA was part of the meeting. He is the veteran and master of them all. They cannot allow this Duterte to ruin the party they have long enjoyed since they grab the powers in 1986.

"Okay, I will make sure all media arms are full blasts in demonizing Duterte. This is peanuts!" Said the Oligarchs excitedly. "Well, I will test this old man how brave he is and his weakling arm forces. We will orchestrate terrorism in Bohol and Marawi using our newly trained ISIS." The confident words of CIA. "Better in a hurry. We have all our priests and nuns briefed to attack Duterte in all of our schools and churches" said the impatient Catholic Cardinal.

"Hmmm, I have ordered the team to start cleansing our ranks and start killing hundreds of addicts and blame it the policemen. The CHR will love it!" The arrogant lines of the druglords. "Looks like everything is going smoothly then. But mark my words, our rallyists will flood the streets and our comrades will ambush government forces whole year round!" The angry remarks of the CPP-NPA.

The international oligarchs was happy about the meeting and the plan. "Don't worry boys, We'll have all our international media, the UN, the US and the EU starting to work on that crazy Duterte" they said. "He will be lucky to survive 2 years! Let's make it quick and smooth." The fatherly speech of the international oligarchs.

And so the attack went full blasts! Local and intermational media worked 24/7. Bohol amd Marawi was attacked. All priests and nuns mobilized thier minions. Drug addicts and pushers killed every day. Government forces ambushed by NPAs weekly while rallies are done continuesly. The international media, the UN, the US and the EU joined the prey.

No simultaneous attack was ever done by these gangster against a single personality around the world in recent history. Only to see Duterte becoming bolder, stronger and gain more popularity and allies around the wolrd. It was like the movie "Infinity wars" or was it "End game"? Where the hopeless Avengers gets reinforcement in unexpected way.

Duterte like a master boxer gifted with the defensive skills of Floyd Mayweather and offensive skills of Pacman made the enemies look like amateurs. In every confrontations and every issue, he made sure the agressors tasted his counter punches. He was also like Bruce Lee who throws stinging little kicks and back fists to nuisance enemy like Jimmy "dyakol" Paredes who gets along the way. No one is spared!

Surely, Duterte felt the stings and pains. But he never showed it. He scored knock downs after knock downs against multiple opponents. He showed them moves and teaches them lessons never found in the books of political warefare. He must have learned something how to fight the toughest, meanest and baddest elements from his island in Mindanao!

Its been four years since Duterte become President. He survived all the attacks in a miraculous and fairytale manner. And the world was watching all along via facebook, youtube and other internet mediums.

Duterte's survival echoes hope around the world. The under dog after all has a chance to win a fight in a real world.

So what makes Duterte invincible? He single handedly humiliated the local and international gangsters big time in a world stage! And he has the world cheering for him!

Well, there are forces that exist in this world beyond our understanding. Duterte somehow was able to summon and harness those forces in his favor with a clear conscience, humble heart, pure intentions and noble objectives.

"Becoming a president is a destiny" Duterte casually said. Perhaps he is right. No power in this world can alter what destiny has decided. His enemies may have thought he was a puzzle to solve. They were wrong.

Duterte is fulfilling a destiny.

You know interesting to know more about the recent history of your country, it seems to me that we are living something similar additional to that we are suffering a brutal blockade and they say that a naval blockade is coming that would be a holocaust in the middle of the 21st century, every day we ask Our God to protect us from so much evil. We know who is barking and seeking to bite, but they cannot.
A hug and happiness always

I think that the eyes of the majority are now opened to the evil that ails the country, from the previous administrations.
They are fighting still to what little control they have. Sad to say, there are still 3% of the whole population being controlled and manipulated to go against the gov't.

Stay well and away from this pandemic virus that the world is fighting against.
