Open Letter of UPLB Student Stephen Villena to Duterte Supporters

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Stephen, salamat.

Maraming salamat kasi nagtanong ka, hindi para i-angat ang kung sinuman, kundi para maging boses ng mga taong walang pagkakataon para makapagtanong sa mga kandidato.

Maraming salamat dahil kahit "freshman" ka pa lang ay hindi ka nagpakulong sa sistema at paniniwala na mas may alam ang nakatatanda.

At higit sa lahat, maraming salamat dahil isa kang aktibong mag-aaral para sa pagbabago at ikauunlad ng ating lipunan at ng mga mamamayan nito." - Marielle Chico
Below is a reported open letter of UPLB student Stephen Villena, the one who was reported to have been rude in questioning presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte at an Academic Forum held at the University of the Philippines Los Banos.

While Duterte was answering, he interrupted him and insisted that Duterte answer directly instead of going through a lengthy back story of issues. After the event, the student was reportedly receiving a lot of flak from netizens, even to the points of death threats for him and his family.

Did the media exaggerated the issues and twisted the facts to make it look like there's a misbehavior that transpired. Did Duterte intentionally tried to avoid answering in detail because he also doe snot have any clear plan on how to implement his campaign promises of increasing the salary of policemen?

I guess we all should be the judge by watching the video.

Duterte Camp, UPLB Student, and What People Believe

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do you get bashed when you point out the weaknesses of Duterte's campaign, and get the same treatment when you point out its strengths?

Presidential candidate and former Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte attended a transparency forum at the University of the Philippines Los Baños campus on Friday, March 11. However, the students were disappointed he entertained only four questions, and was criticized for not giving concrete and straight answers.

The UPLB student asked a loaded question, and didn't wait for an answer because he wanted to hear the solutions directly without all the "palabok" or flowery ad libs. Was the student ignorant of circumlocution and just wanted to embarrass a candidate? We all want these political candidates to cut to the chase and just state their actual plans attached to their glorious promises.

Did the UPLB student disrespect Duterte?

The campaign leaders and Duterte himself have an obligation to disown and publicly reject the hooliganism of some of its supporters. We should be seeing a lot of disowning from every presidentiable PR team online with the way mud is flowing online. Duterte-die-hards are offensive, but don't single out Duterte here. Other bets are also doing shit.
