ACTION star Robin Padilla defended president Rodrigo Duterte who drew flak from his recent interview.
Apparently, taken out of context ang kanyang sinabi and Robin felt duty-bound to repost a clarification.
Sa kanyang Instagram account, Robin posted a message with this caption, “Duterte did not curse Obama. He was only addressing the Filipinos who are subservient to the USA. Obama was named because a Reuter reporter asked President Duterte if Obama will ask the question.”
Here is the verbatim: “I am a Pres. of a sovereign state and we have long ceased to be a colony. I do not have any master except the Filipino people. Nobody, but nobody. You must be respectful. Do not just throw away question and statements. Put*** ina- mumurahin talaga kita diyan sa forum.”
“Ang problema: di minura ni duterte si Obama pero ang gustong palabasin ng media is minura niya to.
What a big difference there is! If they could not translate and understand tagalog, these international News organization should hire someone credible to do that for them – Facebook post of Ethel Cantor Constantino.”
Well, hindi naman talaga minura ni President Duterte si US President Barack Obama. While it was true that he uttered some shocking words, it was not addressed to the US president.
To us, we feel that his speech was MISCONSTRUED!!!
