"Is he President of ALL or only his friends?" - Jim Paredes

Singer Jim Paredes expressed his frustration on Twitter when news broke out that that there will be a separate inauguration ceremony for President-elect Rodrigo ‘Digong’ Duterte and incoming Vice President Leni Robredo.

Duterte aide says separate inaugural allows Robredo to invite more guests

GMA News online reported that special assistant to President-elect Duterte,  Christopher “Bong” Go said that a joint inauguration will restrict Mrs. Robredo to invite more friends and supporters to celebrate her victory. 

Duterte plans a modest and simple inauguration ceremony at the Malacañang Palace on June 30 and only 540 guests will be invited. 

Paredes slammed the decision of President-elect Duterte to hold separate inaugurations.

Is Duterte serious? Why? Afraid Leni will shine more? BBM will have an emotional breakdown? Ano? Is he President of ALL or only his friends?

Your little town blues have not melted away. Are you President of PHL or only some parts?

The OPM legend also stressed that Duterte’s good friend Senator Bongbong Marcos will never become Vice President. Robredo edged out Marcos by a slim margin in the May 9 elections.

Be an ADULT President. Respect OUR VP. BBM WILL NEVER BE VP even even if you want it!

He did not support his VP. He supported BBM. And LENI winning did not figure in their plans at all.

Sometimes, God has a sense of humor.

He did not support his VP & went for BBM. LENI winning didn’t figure in their plans at all.
Sorry.

This is proof God has a sense of humor
