"Still, this doesn't stop from concerning-or protesting"

"Still, this doesn't stop from concerning-or protesting"

(Or: All after Duterte's late night show)

It seems that the recent statements brought by Duterte during late evening shows how the system through its leader is mortally afraid of an ever concerned folk.

Be it by the recent threat to shoot people in the streets demanding relief or his angst towards the Left and the lawyer Diokno, these shows a vain attempt the order's failure to address the urgent public health and socioeconomic crisis and instead resort to the use of military and police power as a sole solution.

And to think that his statements bear contradictions despite days after his congress granted him emergency powers, the folk, including those who supported him, realised a "boss" who rather desperate to "free himself" from blame while failing to do the expected duty of ensuring the people's welfare. For sure once he said about letting Local Government officials to "be creative" while venting rage on Pasig's Vico Sotto for his "concern-driven" actions; what more that he blamed the left for instigating protest against him-no matter how legit the grievance the protesters were such as the need for immediate relief.

But despite these this doesn't stop the folk from getting concerned further. In a regime that claims to be having "prepared", local government officials continues to remain desperate in mobilising scant resources to address the needs of their constituents- only to be denounced by a contemptuous president as these officials seriously need the necessary assistance.
Or is he favouring those who supported him while detesting those who are against his wishes? Unsurprising, that from an ever concerned government official to the commoner who's badly in need for relief if not an assistance, what Duterte sees is plain simple opposition conspiring to oust him, hence from mere blaming in social media to an outright arrest and detaining the people lies a sign how this present order, being desperate to cling to its position, as "mortally afraid of the people."

The folk, ever becoming concerned in this public health turned socio-economic matter is quickly acquiring a political one. This restiveness would say has made the order, through Duterte and his camarilla inciting these folks to take a challenge. No matter how apologists trying to put them down this doesn't stop them from expressing their utter disgust to the regime and its inconveniences be it how Duterte making fuss with Diokno, the left, or anyone who stood in his way, be it in social media or in the streets.

Their collective outrage would say has bound to come together by any means, and despite every measure the order imposes this doesn't stop from ever growing, of making them raise voices more and willing to fight as possible-even in this time of virus-induced crisis.
