How Duterte prioritizes his own personal interests over and above that of the nation’s is clearly shown in his new move to refuse grants and aid from member-countries of the UNHRC that voted for an inquiry on his murderous drug war and other anti-human rights policies.
Mas importante kay Duterte na mawalan ng malalaking ayuda ang Pilipinas mula sa mga bansang nais tumulong sa atin, kaysa itigil na lamang ang kanyang polisiyang EJK sa drug war. Pinapatay na nga ang mga mahihirap sa araw-araw na tokhang, ipinagkakait pa sa kanila ang ayudang galing sa ibang bansa na matagal nang pinakikinabangan ng ating mga mahihirap na kababayan.
This heartless President rather prefers onerous loans from China, simply because China supports his murderous policies at the UNHRC and in the international arena, without questions asked. For Duterte, it is better to bury the country in debt with billions in Chinese loans, rather than benefit from free aid and grants from countries, who just happen to also ask for a stop to his murderous drug war.
Chinese money is blood money. Umuutang tayo sa China para maipagpatuloy ni Duterte ang pagpatay sa mga mahihirap, para walang tigil na mayurakan ang ating mga karapatan at kapakanan. Ginigisa ang mahihirap nating kababayan sa sariling mantika. Walang ibang magbabayad sa utang sa China kung hindi ang mismong mahihirap ding pinapapatay ni Duterte.
Clearly, this new policy is another irrational move by a heartless and megalomaniac leader. Kawawa na naman ang bayan ko. ###
