Quotes Rodrigo Duterte He's known to be a very strong mayor, kasi 'yong type ng personality niya, na nadala din niya sa pagiging mayor niya, kung ano 'yong gusto niya, which is for the general welfare and greater good, iniinsist niya talaga, even though merong collateral damage na tinatawag. He's very headstrong. Translation: He's known to be a very strong mayor, because his type of personality, which he also brought with him as mayor, for whatever he wants, which is for the general welfare and greater good, he really insists on it, even though there are so-called collateral damage. He's very headstrong. Source: Rappler on YouTube, (April 2012) [on her relationship with Rodrigo Duterte] We're not very close. We're not very close because I come from a broken family, eh. So the time that the marriage broke up, I went with my mother [Elizabeth Zimmerman]. And we rarely see him sa bahay. He was always at work. People, hindi sila naniniwala. Hindi kami nag-uusap, pero hindi kami magkaaway. Gano'n lang talaga 'yong relationship namin, gano'n 'yong kinalakihan ko. Believe it or not, we never discussed trabaho, kasi nga, in the first place, hindi nga namin dini-discuss anything else, eh, all the more trabaho pa. Translation: We're not very close. We're not very close because I come from a broken family, eh. So the time that the marriage broke up, I went with my mother. And we rarely see him at home. He was always at work. People, they don't believe it. We don't talk to each other, but we aren't feuding. That is just how our relationship is, that is how I grew up. Believe it or not, we never discussed work, because of course, in the first place, we don't even discuss anything else, all the more about work. Source: Rappler on YouTube, (April 2012) As vice president [on her "designated survivor" remark] Dili to siya joke, dili pud to siya bomb threat. I think many missed the point. So para sa akoa, kung wala ka kasabot the first time, I don't think you deserve an explanation. Translation: It wasn’t a joke. It wasn’t a bomb threat. For me, if you don’t understand the first time, I don’t think you deserve an explanation. OneNews.ph, (July 17, 2024) So you may try to destroy me. You can skin me alive, burn me, and throw my ashes to the wind. But let it be known: You will find me unbowed. I will continue to serve the Filipino people, no matter the personal cost or political intrigue. Inquirer, (September 18, 2024) November 23, 2024 Zoom press conference [in response to Julius "Princess Maui" L. Melanio's question on her security]Yes. Um, huwag kang mag-alala, ma'am, sa security ko, kasi may kinausap na ako na tao. Sinabi ko sa kanya, "Kapag pinatay ako, patayin mo si BBM, si Liza Araneta [Marcos], at si Martin Romualdez." No joke, no joke. Nagbilin na ako, ma'am. 'Pag namatay ako, sabi ko, "huwag ka tumigil, ha, hanggang hindi mo mapatay sila." And then he said "Yes." So... Alam mo, ma'am? 'Yan ang lagi kong... lagi kong sinasabi sa Makabayan Bloc, nung mayor pa ako. Ang laban wala diyan sa EDSA, ma'am. Wala diyan sa mga highway, mga... Ang laban, ma'am, nando'n sa loob ng palasyo. 'Yan ang problema. Uh, we appreciate yuong expression ninyo ng disgust, ng pagkamuhi... ng hopelessness, kasi it reflects kung ano yung nararamdaman ng marami, milyon-milyon. Alam ko 'yan, ma'am, kasi kahit saan ako pumunta, ako ang sinasabihan, "Binoto namin 'yan dahil sinabi mo 'Iboto namin'." So yes, ma'am. Maraming salamat sa ginagawa ninyo. Dahil sa ginagawa ninyo, I'm sure nakikita 'yan ng taong bayan, and naa-appreciate nila 'yan. Marami sa ating mga kababayan ang gusto sumali sa inyo, pero sa sobrang hirap ng buhay ngayon, hindi nila maiwanan yung mga trabaho nila at hanapbuhay nila, para pumunta sa daan. Bakit sila naghihirap? Bakit? Dahil sa gobyerno. Hindi ba dapat yung gobyerno natin ang nagpapagaan ng buhay ng tao? Bakit ang gobyerno natin ang nagpapahirap lalo sa tao? Kasi gusto ba nila lagi na lang mahirap ang mga tao, para madali mapasunod? May mga lugar kami sa Mindanao na ganyan ang mga pulitiko. Gusto nila mahirap lahat. Keh bahugan lang nila ug kwarta, governor na sila, mayor na sila, congressman na sila. Hanapin niyo, ma'am, yung mga lugar na sobrang hirap sa Mindanao. Tingnan niyo, ano'ng gawain ng pulitiko. Pinapakain lang ng pera ang tao, binabastos yung kanilang pagkatao dahil wala silang pakialam. 'Yan din yung mga tao na gustong sumama sa inyo, na nakikiisa sa inyo, pero hindi nila maiwanan yung hanapbuhay dahil sa pamilya. Madami 'yan, ma'am. Translation: Yes. Um, don't worry for my security, ma'am, because I have already talked to someone. I said to him, "If I get killed, kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez." No joke, no joke. I already instructed [someone], ma'am. If I die, I said "Do not stop, all right, as long as you have yet to kill them." And then he said "yes." So... you know, ma'am? That's what I always... I always say to the Makabayan Bloc, when I was still mayor. The fight is not there in EDSA, ma'am. It's not there along the highways, those... The fight, ma'am, is there inside the palace. That's the problem. Uh, we appreciate your expression of disgust, of loathing... of hopelessness, because it reflects what many, millions, are feeling. I know that, ma'am, because wherever I go, I'm the one being told, "We vote for him because you told us 'Vote [for him]'." So yes, ma'am. Many thanks for what you are doing. Because of what you do, I'm sure that it is seen by our countrymen, and they're able to appreciate it. Many of our fellow citizens want to join you, but their lives are so hard right now, they can't leave their work and livelihoods behind, in order to go to the streets. Why are they suffering? Why? Because of the government. Shouldn't our government be the one to lighten people's lives? Why is our government the one causing people to suffer more? Is it because they want people to always be poor, just to be easy to instruct? We have places in Mindanao that have politicians like that. They want everyone to be poor. Just feed people with money, they're now governor, they're now mayor, they're now congressmen. Look, ma'am, for the places that are most poor in Mindanao. Look at how politicians behave. They just feed people with money, insulting their dignity because they don't care. Those are the people who also want to join you, be one with you, but they can't leave their livelihoods because of family. They are many, ma'am.
