OFW Defended Pres. Duterte Against His American Friend Went Viral on Social Media
Pres. Rody Duterte of the Philippines made headlines earlier because of his alleged tirades against the President of the United States of America. The statement of Pres. Duterte was supposed to be intended to the journalist who asked the questions but in the news everything changed.
This is not the first time that the Philippine President was misquoted for his statements in various news conferences especially when reporters asked something that that is not clear to the President.
Recently a viral story of an OFW defending the Pres. Duterte while working in the United States is making the rounds online as it relates the real story behind the problems of the Philippines bias news media reporting.
Here's the Viral Story:
An overseas Filipino worker defended President Rodrigo Duterte and told her American boss about the truth.
The facebook post with the #ForTheMotherland has surfaced the internet amid issues of cancellation of the meeting between President Duterte and US President Barack Obama.
It reads:
American (Kano) talks to his Filipino friend.
Kano: Hey Felicia. I'm sorry to hear about what's going on in your country right now. Hope your family is okay.
Pinay: Why what's wrong?
Kano: Haven't you read the news? There's been a lot of killings going on. The elected President is running the country with his reign of terror. They say he is a mass murderer and he is committing genocide.
Pinay: Oh, you mean the killings? Those are legitimate police operations. Those were criminals and drug peddlers killed because they resisted arrest. Wow! Genocide? That's like killing 6 million in a holocaust. That's just too much. Don't believe that. My family has never been better. In fact, this is the happiest they've been since the new President took office.
Kano: Really? Why so?
Pinay: Yeah. Because change has come. Just barely two months and he's done so much. Did you know that we already have 911 emergency response? 600,000 drug addicts and peddlers voluntarily surrendered for rehabilitation. More than 10 mining firms closed down because of illegal operations. They're making the country self-sufficient in producing rice. Stranded OFWs were rescued in Saudi Arabia. The railway transit is being repaired and is much more efficient now. The President goes after the drug lords and corrupt politicians. The government is engaging with peace talks with the rebels. They're hunting down the terrorist group down south. Crime has gone down 49%. It's so much safer to walk the streets now.
Kano: Wow! For real? I haven't read those in the news.
Pinay: Yes. Because media outlets here only report the negative ones. Most media corporations in the Philippines are owned by oligarchs. That's why they try to bring down the President because they are scared of him.
Kano: Thanks for telling me this. No wonder Filipinos always have good things to say about your new President.
Pinay: That's right. For the first time in my life, I've seen a President that we can really trust. He has the approval of 91% of the Filipinos. Oh, and by the way. Don't believe that it's chaotic in the Philippines. We will be hosting the next Miss Universe and you can go and visit.
Kano: That would be lovely!

The point is. No matter how they destroy Duterte in the international community, there will always be a Filipino who will defend him and tell the truth.
