MANILA — Short of telling her that she’s just a drama queen, Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte has clarified that his apology to Senator Imee Marcos in a Facebook post was only out of pity for her and not for his daring call for President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. to resign if he does not have love and aspirations for the Philippines.
“Madame Imee, linawin ko lang kasi ginagamit mo na sa drama mo diyan sa media. Humingi ako ng tawad dahil naawa ako sayo, hindi dahil sa mga sinabi ko tungkol sa kapatid mo na presidente,” the Davao City mayor wrote on Facebook.
Mayor Baste blatantly told Sen. Marcos to stop using him in her “jamming”.
“Undangi kog gamit ana imong mga jamming. Gipa lampas na taka kausa pero banha gihapon kayka (Tigilan mo ako sa paggamit sa mga jamming mo. Pinalampas kita minsan pero nag-iingay ka pa rin),” the younger Duterte said, evidently pissed off.
Senator Imee earlier claimed that Mayor Baste had said “sorry” to her following his resignation call to the President.
“Ang lumapit sa akin ay si Mayor Baste Duterte. Nagsorry nang nagsorry,” she said.
She added: “Naintindihan ko naman, syempre sobrang emosyonal siya syempre isipin mo naman e ikukulong ang tatay at ate mo. Talaga namang magrerebolusyon ang inyong damdamin.”
Reports said that investigators from the International Criminal Court (ICC) have already entered the country to probe the “crimes against humanity” charges against FPRRD and the alleged involvement of Vice President Sara Duterte in the extra-judicial killings (EJKs) of thousands of victims in the course of anti-illegal drugs campaign of the previous administration.
