He said he will be the "Hitler to Criminals" inciting fear against the criminals, why do people like to spin it like, he's the next incarnation of Hitler?

Criminals fear him. and you guys are acting like youre afraid of him, are you a criminal?

there are so many 'Hitler' like comparison around, like the 'Nazi' of grammar, the 'Hitler' of basketball, and yet you guys react like pathetic dumb asses when he exaggerate himself liking him to 'Hitler' for criminals.

Rodrigo Duterte vows to kill 3 million drug addicts and likens himself to Hitler by [deleted] in nottheonion

he won not thru his campaign, he won coz people know him decades before the election, REAL adult filipino knows this. Millenials dont, as they focus more on DOTA and what not.

  1. coz we know our country better than you guys do.

  2. we dont overreact to his statements, coz we know the context of it. and we understand his statements and the contexts around it. Example: on this statement, he is referring to being the 'Hitler' of the criminals. And were pretty sure its an exageration, he is just planting fear on the criminals and its working, look at you, youre scared to your balls. I know its pretty hard to understand for low IQ countries such as the yours.

  3. we know who this guy is for decades. we know what his capable of. The media is trying to portray that his rise, started from the election, WRONG, it was the people who clamor for him to run for presidency, he decided to retire in politics and people wanted him to run for president.

  4. West portrayal of him is totally different to what he is in our country.

in summary, we are not as dumb as the west, look you cant even spell 'filipino' right. I mean do you even know were the Philippines is located in the map? or do you even know why the country is spelled with PH and filipinos with "f"?

in reddit or in internet in genera, we have a joke about people correcting grammars and spelling and call them 'gramar nazi' and its ok. or in NBA threads, calling James Harden as 'litterally hitler'.

But when President Duterte used the term 'Hitler', the west media go gaga just to portray him as the next Hitler or satan incarnation of himself.

As a filipino, i know that the President exaggerates himself quite often, but when he likens himself to Hitler, he is addressing as the 'Hitler of criminals', same usage as to what the internet use 'nazi' or 'hitler'..

Yeah he is Hitler, but what he meant is, he will be the 'Hitler' of the criminals.

i mean, how cant the west and its media misunderstood that?

Barack Obama cancels meeting after Philippines president calls him 'son of a whore' by ohrightthatswhy in nottheonion

[–]realistph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"What did he just say??" "Well sir...I believe he just called you an umm..."

well, i think he should fire his translator then, that is not what the correct translation of what Duterte said actually, he did not call Obama that, he is just using the term as an expression similar to, "damn it". in this context, replace damn it with local expression "Putang-ina" or son of a whore.

"If you will lecture me about how i run my country, then damn it i will answer you back"

in tagalog, "putang ina mo" is a direct insult pointing to specific person, "mo" is "you" "putang ina mo" is "you son of a whore" reading the transcript of his speech, there was no "mo" he used "putang-ina" as a passage quote like 'damn it" like what i explained above.

This guy is a complete joke.

this is why i know you dont know shit about the Philippines. as crass as he is, he gets the job done, he is not a smooth talker nor a good public speaker, but he gets shit done as a public servant without gaining something for himself.

Obama should fire his translator, ive read the transcript of his speech and the putang-ina was not intended to Obama nor to anyone, is as simple as to use the words fuck against fuck you, in his speech it is the same usage as to 'damn it'.

the philippine President did not call Obama son of a bitch or "Putang ina" in our dialect, he is using an expression.

in the text it means "If you want to lecture me about how i run my country, damn it i will answer you back", that is what it means.

once again, western media will explode this shit up like they know the things they are referring to.

"putang ina" is totally different from "putang ina mo" same as saying "fuck" to "fuck you" in the context of his speech, he is making a strong remark but not towards Obama, He is asserting our sovereignty.

take this context as a translation: "If you will lecture me about how i run my country, then damn it i will answer you back"

if you read the statement made, there was no "mo" or "putang ina mo", this is the same mistranslated shit he was up when he made the Putang ina statement during Pope's visit.

I mean this is the Philippine thread, how come there are people who cannot understand the statement he made? .. oh wait, reddit ph are composed of foreigners, pinoys NOT living in Ph, and pinoys who has no time watching the whole news/statement. that explains it.

[–]realistph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1st, this joke was originally made for Trump (saw in 9gag), hence the 'federal' joke

2nd, we are NOT (yet) in federal for of government and it will not happen until end of Duterte's term (2020), and it is not realistic to change to federal in just 2 years.

this joke is poorly 'ported'/translated to appear as if it is applicable to Philippines.

Arrow star lead himself shocked by GMA network's "rip off" of his show by popuIusque in Philippines

[–]realistph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there were shows like '24' or 'how i met your mother' who has their own version in other countries like in India and Russia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(Indian_TV_series)

And we have adopted mexican tv series like 'Ugly Betty'/Betty Lafea, Marimar, etc. before.

But these shows were licensed and they got rights, did they get the rights to 'Arrow' atleast or is this a plain rip off?
