Zitat des Tages von Rodrigo Duterte:
You cannot prevent me from talking. I am exercising my right to free speech.
I have to address the economic conditions of everybody, including, and perhaps first, those who are poor.
Lawyers are for only what is right.
Relax. I am not the man I am portrayed to be by some.
Many are asking what my credentials are and what I can do for the Philippines. They are telling me that they heard I am a womanizer. That is true. That is very true.
You have to support the government, not to me personally; I do not want anyone cultivating loyalty to me. I don't like that.
As a lawyer and a former prosecutor, I know the limits of the power and authority of the president. I know what is legal and what is not.
Even money has a price.
I just want everybody to follow the law.
I slap people in public, especially erring policemen. I can even challenge them to a duel. I am a gunfighter.
The only reason there is peace and order in Davao is because of me.
Freedom of expression is very important.
I wear cheap shoes. I don't even wear socks.
Love of country, subordination of personal interests to the common good, concern and care for the helpless and the impoverished - these are among the lost and faded values that we seek to recover and revitalize as we commence our journey towards a better Philippines.
I am a man of many flaws and contradictions.
I don't mind giving 5,000 pardons a day.
I don't care if you will get angry with me, but I am not open to a compromise. Contractualization must go. It is anti-people.
I do not like the way oppressed Filipinos are being treated now. They are oppressed and have no one to turn to.
My worry is how to protect the Filipino.
I have to build a new environment for the people. I will place them in ecozones and provide them assistance. I will build hospitals there. There will be economic activity.
From day one, I told people there are consequences for not abiding by the law.
I really do not know. I really do not know how to solve the problem of the Philippines. I cannot be the savior of this republic.
Everyone gets sick, and everyone has to go.
I have this deep and abiding faith in God. But this does not mean that you have to have a religion or follow somebody.
I am well. Do not worry about my health.
The state must protect the media. In a democracy, the role of media is very important. In the absence of a credible opposition party, you can rely on the media.
Steel is needed everywhere.
