"MAY TUNAY NA MALASAKIT NA PRESIDENTE: DUTERTE"

* I was scrolling my FB  account when this wonderful message caught my attention and want to share it in my blog site. My bet before was not President Rodrigo Duterte but it was Miriam Santiago. As I witnessed how the President wants to change the Philippines for good, I change also my perception of him.

I'm sorry to post this anonymously, I am just protecting my family.

I texted mom expressing to her that I will vote for Duterte. And we respect each other.

He was not my first choice. I was against his words and humor and silly behavior.

Miriam was my president because I had been waiting for her to run for a presidential position since then; but, she got my sympathy, she needs rest. She didn't come to the Visayas Presidential debate, my supposed president, I pray for your health.

But whenever I think who's best for the country, there was none. I said, "only God knows." But God sees the heart, He does not rely on the appearance and even in the mere words of a man. Any man can hate and appears like worshipping. But God sees the heart. I am not God, but I can sense Duterte's sincerity to serve. I can feel his selflessness in public service and his strong leadership against what makes the Philippines even poorer. I can see his heart rather than his mouth. I am not God. I know he's not the best. God's eyes are far better than mine. But for now, a leader like him is all we need. Someone so ordinary, but behind that is a place he raised up to be known without his name in anything. But tagged to be his because of his one of a kind leadership.

I hated him before because he cursed God during Yolanda. But I realized, most of us (if not all) came to a point like that --- cursing God. And He was honest. Just like Saul, the persecutor of believers, whom God encountered and changed to be Paul, who then wrote most of the books in the New Testament. Duterte has a chance, I say. Unlike the very thin chance of those who are dressed in fine linen, appears very decent, full of promising words but has not proven anything yet. When Jesus led his disciples, he made miracles. A leader needs to prove to us what he can do. I am not judging, I am expressing my side and you can do the same as well to the one you are supporting. (If you have something good to say about your candidate, I dare you. You may not quote anything from the Bible. This is just my way of not forgetting God in things I give comments with.)

I was observing Duterte since he decided to run, (I am doing the same with the rest, but they just can't convince me) he looks tired each day but still manages to speak, of course in words and styles that he used to. I was afraid in a thought that what if he would be a president and cannot speak so well or will just talk in sarcasm, I laughed. At least my president who will be very strict can then make me laugh 😂😭✌🏻️kidding. I actually was thinking of that for long but I realized, how come the people of Davao love him so well and are proud of him and are supporting him? His ex-wife who supposed to be bitter is also supporting him with his kids? Is his only problem is just the way he speaks? I think that's not a problem. The problem is, we are looking for perfection so much, in which we cannot see in anyone. We can only see perfection in God. The way God sees things, amazing!

His heart is for the Filipinos to enjoy the wealth this land has, for the youth to grow to be the genuine hope, not addicted. If the only way to do that is to impose discipline as it should be, then so be it. God punished the wicked in the times of Noah, in Sodom and Gomorrah, in Egypt, etc.. Well, Duterte is not God I know, but I know, this leader, too, has a heart. And his heart beats for the majority.

We've been praying in Church for a good leader to rise up and I realized God didn't rise up a qualified, flawless, decent, holy man, who will only steal His glory. God qualifies the man who will show up and people will see how God changes Him because He is the God of the impossible. God cannot work on a man who hides in clean clothes and clean words and appears so clean. God said I have not come for the righteous but sinners to repentance.

I am excited for Duterte. I am a Filipino. My President is #Duterte!
