Tuguegarao City, Cagayan – Senator Richard Gordon late on Tuesday has responded to President Rodrigo Duterte’s remarks citing his past statements.
Gordon said in a statement, “No nation deserves him. I mean… minumura ang Santo Papa, minumura ang Diyos, sinasabi sa mga tao, sinasabi sa mga pulis, barilin niyo sa vagina yung mga babae, yung mga NPA. No nation deserves him because nagtiwala ang tao and he betrayed the trust of the people.”
The Chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee gave these statements following the President’s criticisms over the committee’s current probes into the allegedly questionable handling of pandemic funds by the government and purchase of ‘overpriced’ medical supplies.
Gordon continued saying “He (Duterte) will keep on picking on us, they will intimidate.”
On Tuesday, the President in his public address attacked Gordon saying “I will campaign against you,” while wondering what else does the Senator and his committee are investigating as the allegedly overpriced medical supplies are already in the government.
Duterte added that Gordon has kept officials for long hours in Senate Inquiries even if not all of them are questioned, citing the hearings as a waste of time for other invited Cabinet members who should have been working instead. TNF
