Duterte mocks LP: ‘Sinong gustong mag-Liberal? Eh di wala’

CABANATUAN, Nueva Ecija—President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday made fun of the Liberal Party, saying politicians no longer wanted to join the erstwhile administration party.

In a speech, Duterte again indicated that that the yellows—the party color of the LP—were behind destabilization plots against him.

"So takut-takutin ninyo ako niyang ‘Oust Duterte.’ Iyang ‘yung yellow—‘yung si yellow sige maski—‘yan—ang yelo sa Bisaya eh ice, bumili ka ng yelo, that’s ice. Eh matagal nang natunaw ‘yan, pagtapos ng eleksyon, it melted," Duterte said.

"Sino pang gustong mag-Liberal dito? Eh di wala," he said and drew laughter from the crowd.

“Sinong kaibigan ni Duterte?” Duterte said and those in the audience raised their hands. “Kita mo. Sinabi ko eh.”

The LP standard bearer Mar Roxas placed second to Duterte in the last elections.

Roxas' running mate, Leni Robredo, went on to win the vice presidency.

Duterte appointed her housing czar but she has since resigned from the Cabinet after being told to skip its meetings. —NB, GMA News
