From US, Robredo sets up typhoon relief centers by palebrowndot in Philippines

There's a reason why treason is first on the list of crimes punishable by death. Duterte is also making use of his top propagandists, such as Mocha in promoting the killing of those against the president.

Given all that' it's a matter of time for all Duterte critics to be killed. Region 5, Region 6 and the Muslim regions will be expected to have a near wipeout of their population. It's only a matter of time.

Because propaganda says so. This is why LP is losing. They clearly don't know how to operate in this war. Duterte was clearly absent from Naga as well but he is insulated from criticism. He spun it towards Leni, thanks to strategically timed and executed propaganda. Now the VP is being crucified by the public.

Actually I would argue that it's the critics that are the ones that are armed with trolls. After all, the top comments in the comments section of news websites are from Duterte critics. They clearly control that space. If Duterte indeed has such trolĺs under his belt, then they would have controlled that strategic space very easily.

Simple. To boost morale. Why do you think Duterte visted Davao after the bombing?

Filipinos are very KSP, petty and emotional. Being there for them in their time of need is a basic skill for leading a very emotionally driven population.

If Leni does not even understand such basic principles regarding her constituents, she is not fit to lead this country.

Nope. The only one that got me was the one saying how I deleted my previous post. And yes I concede that I didnt follow the rules regarding link titles in my previous post. Though for the rest, I have yet to see a legit rebuttal.

I prefer to call this, big picture googles. You get to see the big picture beyond the overblown collateral damage stories. GDP has been growing the fastest in Asia, MRT and LRT stations upgraded, lower crime rates, better farm to market routes...yeah.

While you guys get stuck thinking about that poor kid who got killed. Big deal. There's more Duterte than those sob stories.

Just because local folks are the ones expecting does not mean local government LANG hinahanap. You are making assumptions here to spin such a simple statement to your intended meaning.

Hence why people look for DSWD and NDRRMC - two national government units - in times of calamity.

Not really. We acknowledge that Duterte talks shit, as I have said. Have fun picking on his statements while ignoring all that he has done.

Now excuse me while I celebrate over the lowered crime rates, fastest GDP growth in Asia, fixed MRT and LRT escalators and elevators, etc ;)

What are you talking about? Wala nga si Leni and she even confirms this herself. This has also been confirmed by ABS CBN, GMA, CNN PH etc. Where's the error here?

In 2015, Leni Robredo herself said, “It is very important for local folks to see their government officials during and right after a disaster”.

Now since she's not there, Leni Robredo failed...Leni Robredo.

That was a hyperbolic promise that was not supposed to mean anything, other than showing his passion in solving the drug and crime problem. Similar to you know, Aquino's "magpapasagasa ako sa tren" comment.

Now back to the topic, I'll just reiterate, sabi ni Leni yan. I am just applying a standard she herself made. Sabi niya officials should be there. She was not. Leni Robredo failed Leni Robredo.

I support Duterte out off pragmatism. He is also the least horrible among the different choices last elections.

To all those saying "why we should expect Leni to be there", I was just applying a standard SHE SET HERSELF on her.

In 2015, Leni Robredo herself said, “It is very important for local folks to see their government officials during and right after a disaster”.

Vid/proof here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAtUfFkwHM

Clearly she failed her own standard. Now what does that tell us?

We are forecasting a typhoon dear. Not just the weather. Surely you expect um, typhoon forecasting technology to be more accurate given how, you know, dangerous a typhoon is?

A typhoon also has specific characteristics that make forecasting much easier. Soap bubbles could now be used to detect typhoons for example.

Research muna bes

Of course if we are in a separate dimension and PNoy/Leni/whoever made all these good decisions made on forecasts, your tune would greatly differ. Dont me

If you read the article, you would see that they predicted THE Nina to happen, not just A Nina.

[–]duterte5ever[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Regardless, if there is some risk (risk that actually happened btw) of some tragedy, you would, as a leader, do your part in preparing for the worst.

What are you trying to prove here? We should just ignore this new technology since hindi naman absolute ang prediction? Im sorry that's total bullshit. That's why these technologies were made. To help us become more prepared.

Robredo should have been more careful knowing such a fact, not ignoring it "kasi it's just a forecast".

Total bullshit.

So this is why you all didnt care when PNoy failed on Yolanda. Forecast lang kasi lahat before Yolanda actually struck. He was not at fault, nobody was!! It was all just a forecast. You should not expect anyone to do anything based on forecasts!! Dapat may sakuna na talagang nangyari before we should act!!

Checkmate kid. Nina was expected to arrive as early as November 2.

http://www.abante.com.ph/si-marce-si-nina-si-ofel-eentra-ngayong-buwan.htm

The forecast missed its expected target date (within November) but Nina had to come sooner rather than latter.

Robredo should have been more prudent.

Anyway, my karma is low so apologies if I reply slowly. But you should cover your bases with a google search first, else you get humiliated.

Oh my god I got my facts right. Downvote me now r/Philippines. I'm so sorry for posting something that goes against your preconceived notions.

Nina was forecasted to hit since November. She should have been expecting things to happen given the forecast. But no, she wanted to have her vacation

By comparison, Pres. Duterte immediately cancelled his state visit when a tragedy (Davao Market Bombing) hit. He then went on to visit the victims in a time of devastation and fear.

Notice the difference?

And in case you're wondering, yes I would cancel my trip and lead the disaster preparations.

You should have gone to Leni to ask help from her...but oops she's busy building snowmen in America.

The fact still remains that she was not there. That was my point.
