MANILA \u2013 Actress Agot Isidro is not a staunch supporter of the President \u2013 we know from her remarks which went as far as referring President Rodrigo \u201cRody\u201d Duterte a \u2018psychopath.\u2019<\/p>\n

In her recent Facebook post, Isidro expressed dismay over the President\u2019s belittling of the foreign aid received by the Philippines from the United States and other members of the international community.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnang-una, walang umaaway sa iyo<\/em>. As a matter of fact, ikaw ang nang-aaway<\/em>. Pangalawa<\/em>, \u2018yung bansa kung saan ka [iniluklok] ng 16 million out of 100+ million people ay Third World<\/em>. Kung makapagsalita ka parang superpower ang Pilipinas, e<\/em>,\u201d she wrote in her post.<\/p>\n

(First of all, no one\u2019s fighting you. As a matter of fact, you\u2019re the one fighting others. Secondly, the country wherein you were put into position by 16 million out of 100+ million people is Third World. You speak as if the Philippines is a superpower.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAt excuse me, ayaw naming magutom<\/em>. Mag-isa ka na lang<\/em>. \u2018Wag kang mandamay<\/em>. Hindi na nga [nakakakain] ang nakararami, gugutumin mo pa lalo<\/em>. Pangatlo<\/em>, may kakilala akong psychiatrist<\/em>. Patingin ka<\/em>. Hindi ka bipolar<\/em>. You are a psychopath,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

(And excuse me, we don\u2019t want to go hungry. You\u2019re on your own. Don\u2019t drag others. Many don\u2019t have enough to eat; you\u2019ll starve them even more. Third, I know a psychiatrist. You should have yourself checked. You are not bipolar. You are a psychopath.)<\/p>\n

It can be noted that Duterte has been releasing crude remarks against the United States, the European Union and the United Nations for the latter\u2019s concern over the rising number of alleged extrajudicial killings and human rights violations in the Philippines in the previous months.<\/p>\n

\u201cMamili kayo<\/em> (You choose) \u2013 the crumbs of the favor of other nations, mag-asa lang tayo sa assistance nila <\/em>(we depend on their assistance) or we make a stand that this country must survive, that this country must see to it that the next generation is protected,\u201d the President said in a speech, alluding to the government\u2019s war on drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think it is high time for you guys to withdraw your assistance, go ahead\u2026 We will not beg for it. We have a problem here trying to preserve our society,\u201d he added. \u201cMaski magkahirap dito<\/em> (Even if it becomes harder for us), we will survive. And I\u2019ll be the first one to go hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the President\u2019s statements, Presidential Communications Office Secretary Martin Andanar assured the public that the country has still been receiving continuous foreign aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the steadfast commitment of EU and UN to the Philippines. Our partnership goes beyond differences in policies,\u201d Andanar said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Isidro got plenty of hate from Duterte supporters in social media and even trended on Twitter. Her post has already been deleted as of posting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
