He is not action star.</b> "Hindi po action star si Mayor Rodrigo Duterte tulad ng mga nakasanayan na nating iboto na porke't sikat at artista ay papasukin ang pulitika para sa pansariling interes. Dati lang naman po siyang abogado, fiscal at prosecutor. Hindi ko po nilalahat ng artista. Merong ilan na walang alam eh pumapasok. Ito naman mga bobotante, binoboto. Kaya kung ayaw mo iboto ang hindi artista, wag mo iboto si Duterte!"<br /><br /><b>5. He is not your traditional politician.</b> "Hindi po siya yung nakasanayan na natin na iboto na halos ipangako na ang langit at lupa para makuha lang ang gusto niya sa iyo. Si Duterte ang pulitiko na tayo pa ang manliligaw dahil malinaw sa mata natin kung ano ang kaya niyang gawin sa bansa. Kaya kung gusto mo ang mabulaklak na bibig na puro salita at hindi ang matalas na dila na puro gawa, huwag mo iboto si Duterte!"<br /><br /><b>4. He is not wealthy enough.</b> "Hindi ganun kayaman si Mayor Duterte para bilhin ang boto mo. Oo nga naman, sayang ang P500 na kikitain mo sa pulitiko na magbibigay sa iyo nun. Pantawid gutom din yun ng dalawang araw kapalit ng anim na taon na pagnanakaw nila sa puwesto. Sayang ang 500 boy tapos iboto mo sila."<br /><br /><b>3. He is technically unfair.</b> "Meron tayo tinatawag na due process bago hatulan ang nasasakdal or suspect. Si Mayor Duterte ay di naniniwala sa due process of our country. Nakapa-ironic na siya mismo na dating fiscal ay gumagamit ng dahas na bakal para makuha ang tamang hustisya. Naniniwala ako na epektibo ang proseso na ginamit niya sa Davao. Bakit ka naman matatakot kung wala ka naman ginagawang masama. He is fair to all law-abiding citizens and unfair to those who are not. Kaya kung gusto mo ng makupad na sistema ng hustisya sa bansa at ng hindi ng mabilisang solusyon sa tumataas na kriminalidad sa bansa, huwag mo iboto si Duterte!"<br /><br /><b>2. He want to change our Government System.</b> "Papayag ba kayo na palitan ang sistema na nakasanayan natin sa mahabang panahon? Mahirap yun. Palibahasa nasanay na tayong manakawan ng mahabang panahon kaya takot tayo sa pagbabago. At kapag nanalo siya, babaliktarin niya ang nakasanayan na natin at ang worst case scenario walang bagong mangyayari pag ginawa niya iyon pero ang malaking tanong eh what if meron. Paano kung gumanda ang buhay mo, nang pamilya mo, nang lugar mo, nang bansa nating lahat. Edi wow. Wala namang mawawala kung dati na tayong wala. Kaya kung gusto mo parin ang lumang sistema na mahirap tayo umunlad, huwag mo iboto si Duterte, utang na loob!"<br /><br /><b>1. You are not a registered voter.</b> "Paano ka boboto, di ka pala rehistrado. Ang dami mong reklamo sa bansa, di ka pla rehistrado. Ang dami mong gusto, pero wala ka palang pakialam. So kung gusto mo sanang bumoto, sana nagpahistro ka."<br /><br />What do you think of the viral video? Express your thoughts in the comment section below.</div>
