Is President Rodrigo Roa Duterte a bully?
If the group who will answer this question are
his critics and detractors. Then the answer will be a definite and a big yes.
Presidential Spokesperson and Presidential Legal
adviserSalvador Panelo categorically said that the President is not a
bully. He cannot be classified as a bully because bullies inflict injury, pain,
and fear against those incapable of fighting back or defenseless, which Duterte
does not do.

“Only the
critics and detractors classify him as a bully because either they cannot
swallow the reality of what he says or they feel alluded to,” Atty. Panelo said.
Salvador Panelo
said Duterte merely threatened criminals and the corrupt with punishment “as a
retribution for their wrongs.”
“The
criminals and the corrupt violate the law with impunity, they feel no fear in
their hearts to account for their crimes. They kill, they rob, they plunder the
people's money, they couldn't care less if as a consequence of their crimes
people suffer or die,” the Presidential Spokesperson said.
“He curses
the hypocrites to let them know that they cannot deceive the people with their
hypocrisy,” he added.
Panelo said that the mandate given to him by
the Filipino people- over 16 million Filipinos accept the President for what he
is.
“PRRD's outrage on any unlawful activity is
expressed in strong and hyperbolic language for emphasis and effect. His manner
of speaking has been factored in - and accepted by the electorate when they
overwhelming voted him into presidency,” Atty. Panelo said.
