To Mr. Manuel Araneta Roxas and Rodrigo Roa Duterte,
MABUHAY!
First of all, I would like to congratulate the both of you for being successful in getting the attention of the whole Filipino nation who are now braving Typhoon Nona while majority are trapped in their homes and some are currently trapped inside their cars along Edsa. It is not a secret anymore that our country is currently experiencing a lot of predicaments from violent separatist movement down south and chronic petty crimes along the alleys of Recto, Cubao,Tondo.
I would like to humbly appeal that both you start acting like a true statesman and a Presidential candidate that is worth emulating in our country by engaging into a debate and healthy exchanges of ideas,solutions and platforms instead of issuing a gun duel challenge, slapping challenge et al.
While most of us find it amusing that an elite and american educated Filipino from Cubao (Mar Roxas) and a highly celebrated Mayor from Mindanao that is allegedly involved in a lot of extrajudicial killings (Mayor Duterte) are very passionate about being right, we humbly think that we as your constituents are missing a lot in here. We cannot see the level of decency and propriety that a President of this country must have.
A level of decency to debate on ideas and platforms instead of issuing a slapping challenge and gun duel.
An above average sense of propriety to showcase that you are not just eager to be our next political leader but also prepared and happy to be our role model especially to us, the 21,000,000+ Filipino youth.
Let us do this and hear our call for a better informed Filipino electorate.
My contact details are indicated below and I will be happy to wait for a call from your offices.
Sincerely yours,
MIGO 12/16/2015 2:06AM

Wala pa nga campaign proper ganyan na asal nila. How much more pag malapit na eleksyon na gitgitan na? I have yet to hear a concrete policy of those candidates regarding the issues cites by the writer. Puro abstract.

Are they not engaging into an early campaigning? I guess you are too naive not to notice that.

So far , the exchange between the two presidentiables is still decent. The ones that hit all new low levels are the various convos on socmed that followers of the two engage in. Frustrating but not unusual , the word war between the two. Alarming is the vile and venomous way Duterte’s followers attack the other side.

Asking for a slap challenge and gun duel are decent? I thought we are on a modern generation where people fight with ideology and not with violence.

Don’t think too much into the word war between these two candidates. It seems Digong was just in for his usual pandering to media bec media likes his quotables. Mar merely replied wc sent media into frenzy. Now Digong says it’s all a joke.

I like Duterte over Roxas but I do not think what they are doing is something that can make this country great again.
I miss the intelligent discourse in our political arena and it seems the two are no different from all the trapos that we are seeing and enjoying now.
That is an inconvenient truth, this elections is all about the lesser evil again.

Well, I leave you with that perception. Have a good day!
