MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Davao City Mayor and 2016 presidential candidate Rodrigo \u201cRody\u201d Duterte\u2019s children apologized for their father\u2019s behavior and assures that he can still lead the country.<\/p>\n

Sara \u201cInday Sara\u201d Duterte-Carpio recently posted in her Instagram account and said she understands the supporters who expressed their anger due to his father\u2019s foul behavior, expressing her thoughts on Duterte\u2019s supporters who commented on mayor\u2019s cursing on Pope Francis.<\/p>\n

She said that her father may have a \u201cstreet thug\u201d manner, but she assured that he\u2019s intelligent enough to become a president.<\/p>\n

\u201cI perfectly understand where you are coming from. I apologize for his behavior. Rest assured, he is intelligent enough for the highest public position, unfortunately, he does not have the finesse of Lady Diana. In essence, he is a lawyer with the manners of a street thug,\u201d Sara said in her Instagram account.<\/p>\n

Duterte\u2019s son and Davao Vice Mayor Paolo \u201cPulong\u201d Duterte considered the smear campaign against him and his family \u201ccheap shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it has begun. People are picking up dripping mud to throw at us and paint a horrible image of us,\u201d Paolo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some who were prompted by agenda, malice, and desperation, impute upon us and vices to make us unfit and unworthy to people\u2019s support and admiration, and all of these are cheap shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paolo, in his Facebook official page, referred his post to his father\u2019s political rivals as \u201cattack dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOther presidentiables’ or vice presidentiables’ “attack dogs” are out and unleashed to prey on the presidential run of our father, Mayor Duterte. If these are their ways of discrediting the mayor, it’s lame and lazy. In such case they’re not “attack dogs” but rather they are more like “newborn puppies” to us. You can do better than this,\u201d said Paolo in his official Facebook fan page post.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my younger days, I have had my share of teenage adventurism. I’ve been involved in bar fights, crazy car driving, raging temper and other adventures (or misadventures) which may not be your ideal childhood experiences. I’m not the typical guy who visits museums, libraries, and school chapels. I am one of the few (or many) who went “crazy” over teenage life. I’ve had its best and worst. But all these didn’t send me down the drain. It made me a better person by earning and experiencing life’s lessons first-hand,\u201d he added to his post.<\/p>\n

The Davao Vice Mayor finds the criticisms thrown against them unfair, but confident enough to disprove the detractors as they are a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, Duterte cussed at Pope Francis during his speech, which made the Catholics expressed their opinions on social media with rage, narrating his experience during the papal visit. He also made it clear that it was not his intention to attack the Pope, but to the government which caused a major disruption during the pontiff\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
