HINAMON ng dalawang miyembro ng Young Guns ng Kamara de Representantes si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na magpakalalaki, tigilan na ang walang saysay na pagbabanta, at dumalo sa pagdinig ng House quad committee kung seryoso na sisipain nito ang mga miyembro ng Kamara.

“With all due respect Mr. FPRRD, don’t make any more excuses in not attending our hearings. Please make sure to be around on Wednesday, so that you can make true your threat to kick congressmen as you have repeatedly warned,” ani House Assistant Majority Leader Jay Khonghun ng Zambales.

“Be here at the Quad Comm hearing, and go ahead, kick us if that will make you happy. I’m very sure your supporters nationwide will also be watching on national TV or YouTube, ready to give you the loudest applause you want to hear,” dagdag pa ni Khonghun.

Nagtataka naman si House Assistant Majority Leader Paolo Ortega V ng La Union kung papaanong masisipa ni Duterte ang mga kongresista kung ayaw nitong dumalo sa mga pagdinig na ilang ulit ng nag-imbita sa kanya at sa kabila ng sinabi ng kanyang abogado na dadalo matapos ang Undas.

“How can you kick us if you don’t physically attend the hearings? Be man enough to do it. I suppose you’re a man of your word,” saad nito.

“Don’t make empty threats. Please make no mistake: while we respect you, by no stretch of the imagination does this mean we’re afraid of you. Give us respect, too,” giit pa ni Ortega.

“Don’t be afraid to face us in Quad Comm. You don’t have to worry, we will give you all the reasonable amount of respect you deserve being the former president. I, for one, will make that pledge in front of you and the nation if I have to,” dagdag pa ng kongresista.

“But this respect should be reciprocal: We will not and we will never allow you to bully us in our own House – the House of the (114-million-strong Filipino) People whom we are all representing, from the northernmost district to the southernmost district across the country,” ayon pa sa mambabatas mula sa La Union.

“You are our guest so please act like one,” saad pa ng mambabatas.

Pinaalala rin niya sa dating pangulo na kahit na higit sa 16 milyong botante ang naghalal sa kanya sa Malacañang noong 2016, nagtapos na ang kanyang mandato makaraan ang buong anim na taong termino hanggang noong Hunyo 2022.

“Mr. FPRRD, please be reminded that while you still enjoy having Presidential Security Group personnel, you are now – for all intents and purposes – a civilian who no longer carries that mandate. So, please act like a statesman if you want to be respected,” ayon naman kay Khonghun.
