Senator elect Imee Marcos cannot be forever be quiet
and not say anything when all the criticisms and bad remarks are being hurled
at president Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
The President has been at the receiving end of
accusations of being to soft in dealing with China or Pro-China in dealing with
the June 9 ramming and sinking of a Filipino
fishing boat by a Chinese vessel near Recto Bank which located in the West
Philippine Sea.
The former Ilocos Norte governor, was quoted in
saying that “Filipinos are fortunate to have a “warrior President”.

“Alam
naman natin na matapang si Presidente. Maswerte tayo may warrior President
tayo. Pero at the same time, bilang isang magaling na mandirigma, hindi naman
siya lalaban sa talo,” she said. “Kaya maingat siya at sa palagay ko tama ang
kanyang ginagawa.”
[We
know that the President is brave. We are lucky to have a warrior President. But
at the same time, being a good warrior, he will not fight knowing he will
lose.]
Duterte, she said, had always been firm, contrary to what his detractors are saying.
The senator surmised the President just had his own
reasons that would explain his actions towards China.
“I think it’s probably a very judicious use of
power, very well thought out and calculated,” she said.
Despite left and right President Duterte conceded
that the country cannot stop China from fishing inside the Philippines’
exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
“We cannot drive them away because they have
insisted that it’s theirs,” he said.
