ANGELES CITY -- A village chief in this city has described the statements of Senator Sonny Trillanes against President Duterte as “uncalled for.”
Barangay Balibago chief Rodelio Mamac, a former police official, said that the President deserves respect from all Filipinos especially from a former military official like Trillanes.
“With due respect to Senator Trillanes, being a former military officer and a sitting senator, for sure he knows the wisdom of courtesy and discipline, which was repeatedly thought in the military schools,” Mamac said.
Calling the President in his surname and commenting “pag wala na sila sa posisyon, pupulutin sila sa kangkungan (If we they will be no longer in position, they will be jailed),” is uncalled for and unbecoming, according to the barangay chief.
“We know that you are not in good terms with President Duterte. But as the President of the Republic, voted by 16 million Filipinos, he deserves and must be properly accorded with due courtesy and respect,” Mamac added.
Mamac, who is also a Supreme Godfather (Supremo) of the Guardians Brotherhood, said that Guardians and Magdalo members in Central Luzon voted and campaigned for Trillanes during the last elections.
“We supported you because we know what you are fighting for. If you still remember you visited me and all the Guardians and Magdalos in Barangay Balibago,” Mamac stated in his Facebook post.
“But disrespecting our duly elected president in national television is insubordination and conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman,” he added.
