Duterte, senators word war to end after elections: Palace

By Prince Golez

The word war between President Rodrigo Duterte and several senators will only stop after Election Day, MalacaƱang said Wednesday.

In a televised briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the opposition is in a ā€œdesperateā€ bid to win support for the May 2022 polls.

ā€œMatatapos lang po yan sa eleksyon. Desperado po ang oposisyon. Gumagawa ng isyu laban sa administrasyon maski hindi naman po magre-reelection ang ating presidente,ā€ according to Roque.

ā€œSiguro ginagawa nila ito para hindi ma Otso Diretso ang kanilang mga senador ngayong taon na itoā€¦ ā€˜Wag po tayo magpadala sa mga politikong maagang namumulitika,ā€ he added.

Otso Diretso was the alliance formed by the opposition in 2018 to challenge the administrationā€™s senatorial line up.

Duterte in his weekly public address on Monday criticized some lawmakers investigating the alleged anomalous procurement of overpriced Covid-19 pandemic supplies, singling out Senators Dick Gordon and Ping Lacson.

He likened to ā€œGerman interrogatorsā€ from the Nazi regime senators who grill resource persons for hours during public hearings.
