Rodrigo Duterte Speaks From Either Side Of His Mouth

Leave a comment

Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines’ unapologetic political firebrand, has outdone himself in his latest theatrical performance. 

On one side of his mouth, he declares an unshakable faith in the Philippine judicial system, professing his preference to face justice on home soil—a touching display of patriotism, if not for the irony. On the other side, he dares the International Criminal Court to “bring it on,” swaggering like a man auditioning for a James Bond villain role. Is it hubris, or just another Duterte quip designed to keep his critics dizzy?

His duality leaves us in awe. Is he a staunch nationalist unwilling to bow to international scrutiny, or is he the ultimate showman, knowing full well the ICC doesn’t operate on a dare system? Either way, his gambit guarantees one thing: Duterte remains the headline king. Whether justice is served in Manila or The Hague, the spectacle is far from over.

Like VP, Like Chief Lawyer

In a surreal twist, it seems some of our top officials and their legal teams have redefined what it means to uphold the constitution.

Consider this scene: public officials, sworn to protect the rule of law, sidestepping something as quaint as an oath to tell the truth in a congressional hearing. After all, why bother with such archaic rituals when you have the power to reinterpret honesty at your convenience? “Like employer, like employee,” they say—and they’re taking that seriously. What could be more efficient than a legal team that skips those pesky legal formalities, fully embracing the flexibility of selective truth-telling? This way, everyone from the top down is free to redefine accountability, adapting it to fit their needs.

It’s a masterclass in government: say one thing, do another, and watch the constitution contort to fit the whims of the day. Ah, modern governance at its finest.
