[OPINION] Rody Duterte’s autumn

Rodrigo Duterte yearns for those days when his word was law, bringing mighty oligarchs to their knees and inspiring murderous online rage. But that time has passed.

, Rody the father went on live television to defend his daughter and attack the Speaker. The former president tagged the Speaker as his daughter’s rival in the 2028 presidential election, from whom accountability and transparency must be exacted.

In the eyes of many, Duterte is a powerful man diminished. But it is a reality he chooses to deny. Yes, he came to the defense of a daughter in distress, which is but natural for a parent. But this is perhaps more about him than his daughter, a feeble power move to reassert his clout and remind everyone that he is still around. More than one year out of power, the patriarch from Davao refuses to welcome his autumn.among his supporters.

What is being offered is a return to intolerance and hate perpetuated by those who wield power. But such intolerance and hate have infected even the so-called enlightened and decent segments of society who have chosen to fight fire with fire, to perpetuate online the same intolerance and hate they despise.It is a return to a nation and a people damaged and divided, an economy in tatters, and a bureaucracy broken by scandal, ineptitude, amateurism, and inefficiency.
