OPM icon Freddie Aguilar compared President Duterte’s situation to children. In his analogy, he said that he would rather have a cursing child than one who lies, steals, and pretends.
In a Facebook status posted yesterday (October 17), Freddie Aguilar said, “Ayaw daw nila na nagmumura si President Duterte dahil baka raw gayahin ng mga bata. Bilang isang ama ay kaya kong tanggapin na ang anak ko ay nagmumura! Pero di ko matatanggap at magagalit ako kung ang anak ko ay sinungaling, magnanakaw at hipokrito!!!”
Some others agree and others disagree. Take a look at some of the comments on his Facebook post.
Cherry Lhynne Roa: “I am a parent of five kids ages 22, 18, 13 and 8. I curse at home. I curse a lot. Not to my kids but to a lot of upsetting things. I even curse when I am surprised, shocked or terrified. But none of my kids do that. They grew up well. So when Duterte, now President is seen and heard by them cursing, wala lang. They don’t mind. Natatawa lang sila at sinasabi pa ng bunso ko na pakialamera daw kasi si Delima kaya nagagalit si Tatay Digong. My point? Nasa pagpapalaki lang yan. Mamumura ka talaga ng anak mo kung pabaya ka at wala kang kwentang magulang.”
Pira Nelly: “every body swears the president is no exception. our children is our responsibility not others. my God look on radio tv it is most garbage aired by stupid announcers Duterte is second to the Marcos a great leader they should worry about those corrupt leaders some song yellow ribbon? yeah right great poster friend love it”
Reyma Termo: “Tama ka Freddie Aguilar.expresion napo ngaun ang pagmumura,mapapamura ka talaga kung may magnananaw sinungaling at traidor.matatalino na mga bata ngaun alam na nila agad ung tama at mali.”
Lito Cruzate: “Nagtanong dati ang anak ko kung bakit may mga taong nagmumura. Sabi ko marahil kaya ganun ay iyon ang natutunan nila sa kanilang mga magulang…”
Rita Maniela: “What a stupid comparison. A child is a child, it is up to you how you can discipline a child on good manners and right conduct. A president is a president. He represents the whole population of a country. Whatever comes out of his mouth and every action that he does will deeply affect the country and its people. If he wants the country to change, it should start from him by leading by example. He is not a kid anymore to be guided and told off all the time regarding his behavior.”
