Its
an achievement that will cement his legacy.
In his speech before the soldiers in Jolo, Sulu President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said without
having to declare martial law he “dismantled” the oligarch that has been
controlling the country for several years.
“Kaya ako mamatay, mahulog ‘yung
eroplano, p***** i** (I can die, even if the plane crashes), I am very
happy. Alam mo bakit (You know why)? Sabi ko, without declaring
martial law, I dismantled the oligarchy that controlled the economy of the
Filipino people,” he said.

The
President did not elaborate who is he referring to as the one he dismantled.
“Sabi
ko sa lamesa, sabi ko ang oligarchy ng
Pilipinas binuwal ko talaga. Iyan ang... Iyan ang sentimiyento ko rin para
malaman mo rin (I told the table, I dismantled oligarchy in the
Philippines. That’s my sentiment just to let you know),” he said.
In
previous speeches last year he questioned the 1997 concessionaire contracts
with the billionaires Fernando Zobel de Ayala and Manuel V. Pangilinan of
Manila Water and Maynilad, respectively.
The
President threatened a military take over of the two water operators, if they
will pursue against the government the arbitral award handed down by the
arbitral court in Singapore amounting to billions of pesos.
The President was
also able to make Lucio Tan to pay in 2017 the P6 billion liabilities his
Philippine Airlines (PAL) owed to the government, to which the latter
paid in full.
The President in the
same speech said he does not mind if he would be replaced as President.
“Kaya ako kung mag-decide kayo na tanggalin ako, mas
mabuti. P***** i**. Kasi ayaw kong maghawak ng gobyerno na wala akong magawa.
May mga batas kasi (If you decide to remove me, that’s
better. Because I don’t want to run a government I can’t do anything about.
There’s a law),” he said.
