#OursDuterte: President Rodrigo Roa Duterte addressed the nation tonight, June 22, 2020.
1. Good evening, my countrymen. For the nth time, I’ve met with my cabinet members who are critical in the fight against COVID.
2. Huwag na tayo magsisihan. Rules and regulations are promulgated by the Government for your own good.
3. Though maganda ang recovery natin. Ang Cebu ang may problema ngayon. If you solve the problem locally amongst the officials there, they start to blame each other there. Nagsisisihan na.
4. Kayong mga taga Cebu. It’s not that I do not trust your ability, it’s the penchant to go into sisihan and nobody would answer for anything.
5. Mga kaigsuunan nako sa Cebu, akong ipadala si General Cimatu, the Secretary of DENR. Total siya yung inuutusan dati ni President Arroyo. The office of Secretary Cimatu is adjunct to IATF upon notifying General Lorenzana who heads the National Task Force. There are things not done, and these things must be done!
6. Sabi ko kay Secretary Cimatu, exercise the powers of the task force. I will write an order thru Executive Secretary Medialdea. He will fly anytime to Cebu.
7. Mahibaw-an nako na naay tao nga galihuk na sa Cebu. Kay daghang nag selosay. Wala koy gi-tumong na tawo. I am just sad that Cebu has to undergo this painful situation. Nonetheless, kaya natin yan.
8. Ang COVID is fighting. And we are fighting back. Ang good news, we believe, and I believe too, many countries have some vaccines being developed. Ang sabi nila, the nearest I can explain, kung baga ang antibiotic can harm the bacteria. Pero cannot harm the veerus or the virus. Yung kelangan ay ang sariling sundalo mo sa katawan mag fight sa kanya.
9. If there is anybody who wants to live and enjoy life. Ako, ayaw ko talaga sa lockdown lockdown na ito. I hate it. Pero pag tinamaan tayo, sorry na lang. In the coming days, I intend to go around the country. Kung may tao man na galit sa pagkakulong natin, ako. Kaya naintindihan ko kayo.
10. Secretary Cimatu, as long as may support of the Cebu officials. DOH and DILG to assist Secretary Cimatu. He has the liberty to ask the military guys to enforce the lockdown.
11. Etong mga Abu Sayaff, etong mga terorista, giving us no respite kahit may COVID. The fight against the NPAs, matagal na. They have undermined the security of the country. If I do not do my duty now as President, we might just bargain away the democracy to them. Sa armed forces at sundalo, upakan mo.
12. When it is about your favor, you talk so much about the Geneva Convention. You ask for equal protection that the law gives. Pero panindigan niyo sana. Huwag ninyo akong bolahin, ginamitan ninyo ng Gilette ang mga sundalo.
13. If I answer all attacks against me, we will close shop. But I will do everything I can. If the ends brings me good, then ok. If the

Secretary Francisco Duque III, Department of Health:
14. Sa Bayanihan Act, may provision na kelangan bigyan ng ayuda ang mga namatayan na medical workers. Nung June 9, yung 32 families nabigyan na ng 1 million pesos each.
15. Meron naman tayong 19 healthcare workers na nagkaroon ng severe COVID-19 infection. Nabigyan na po ng 100,000 each. Sa ibabaw pa nito, nabayaran po ng Philhealth ang gastusin nila sa hospital.
16. Akala ng ibang grupo, huli tayo sa pagbili ng PPE. Pero as early as February, nag procurement order na tayo sa Philippine International Trade Corporation. Ang problema ay kakulangan ng supply. Global shortage.
17. Ipapadala po namin sa Ombudsman.

President Duterte:
18. Para sa mga Bisaya kasi nag-Tagalog si Secretary Duque. Sabta ninyo ang sakit na niabot sa ato, pandemic. Buot pasabot, tibuok kalibutan. Tanan nipalit. Naunhan ta.
(Please understand that we were hit by a pandemic. In other words, this is a global problem. Everyone is in a bind. Others got ahead of us in procuring.)
19. Pero ang World Health Organization is a fair body. Gihatagan. Mangutana mo, ngano wa naka prepara? Di na sa ing ana. Tungod man ni sa pandemic. Lahi ni sa ubang sakit. Kani walay tambal. Walay bakuna. Nagkabuang ta ani. Nakuratan. Paspas kaayo ang pagtakod. Na late gamay. Pero dili ingon wala’y gibuhat.
(But the WHO is a fair body. If you ask, why did we not prepare? It’s not like that. It’s because of the pandemic. This is different from other illnesses. This has no cure. No vaccine. We scrambled. We were shocked. The contagion was very fast. We were a little late. But it’s not that we did not do anything.)
20. I place my reputation kay Secretary Duque. Walay kawat dinha sa iyaha. Daghang kwarta ni.
(There’s not money with him in DOH. He is rich already.)
21. Unya katong ubang purchases, akong gihatag sa IATF. Under ni Secretary Lorenza, Secretary Galvez ug si Secretary Año. Sila’y namalit ana. Kung naa mi nakit-an dinha, tangtang dayun. Itaya ko reputasyon ko. Walang kalokohan na nahitabo.
(The other purchases, I assigned it to IATF. Under Secretaries Lorenzana, Galvez and Año. They were the ones who bought the items. If we see any anomaly, he will be fired. I am putting my reputation at stake. There are no irregularities.)
22. Kamong mga Cebuano. Prangka na lang ta. Ayaw’g mo kasuko sa ako. This is not the first time, hinay ang lihuk, yawyaw pa. Ang uban tanan naa na sa balay, human kamo ga motor, naa sa palengke.
(To the Cebuanos. Let’s be candid here. Don’t get mad. This is not the first time, some are slow in action and would rather complain. While the rest of the country stayed at home, you have been riding your motorcycles, going to the market.)
23. Mayor, niboto man mi nimo. Kabalo ko. Pero you were forewarned in advance. Ayaw’g lang sa pulitika. Some provinces followed. Karon ang ubang, sige’g suroy. Mao ni ang nahitabo.
(Mayor, we voted for you. I know. But you were forewarned in advance. Let’s not go into politics first. Some provinces followed. While others kept on going out. This is what happened.)
24. Kaning sa mga akong gi assign, wa ko nag duha duha sa ilahang integrity. Roy (Cimatu), adtui na sila sa Cebu. Sulti-a ko unsa ang pwede nato maitabang sa Cebu.
(To all those whom I’ve assigned, I have no doubt on their integrity. Roy, go to Cebu. Report to me what I can do to help Cebu.)
25. Wa gyud ni tingog si Roy, mu tando lang, suguun ni Gloria. Espadaha’y sila ni Saddam sa Iraq. Ako pud bi gipadala sa Libya.
(Roy is just silent. He would just nod even during Gloria’s time. He went to face Saddam in Iraq. I also sent him to Libya.)

President Duterte:
28. With due respect to the Ombudsman, the Honorable Martires. Yung nagprepare ng specification, galing yan sa health. Malinis itong mga tao dito.
29. Gusto ko malaman ng mga tao, etong sa Gobyerno, sakripisyo ito. I am appealing to your sense of patriotism. Tulungan ninyo ako.

Secretary Roy Cimatu, Department of Environment and Natural Resources & Cebu COVID Task Force head:
30. Mr. President, I accept the assignment. And we will comply with your directives to help Cebu.
31. The next generation will review what we are doing.
32. Thank you, Mr. President, for the opportunity.

35. We are ready to hire 15,000 contact tracer.
36. Sisiguraduhin natin na ang mga LSI ay makakauwi ng ligtas. At may quarantine facilities.

President Duterte:
37. Chavit Singson is offering 400 buses at the disposal of the task force. July 4 for Mindanao. July 5 for Visayas.
38. My Legal Team is still reviewing the Anti-Terror Bill. Di ko natanggap. I endorsed it first to Legal.
39. Uulitin ko. Bago na talaga ang pamumuhay. Ang diskarte. Sa paglakad. Distancing. Hugas kamay. Mask. Limit ang paglabas. Kasi ang COVID, nandyan. Ready to cling to your body. Pasok sa bunganga, ilong, bunganga.
40. Mga kababayan kayo. Mahal ko kayong lahat. The danger is there. It’s up to you to decide. Mga taga Cebu, bakit marami. Because you were too confident and complacent. Ayan dumami. Kaya ang task force, si Secretary Cimatu, na ang titingin sa situation ninyo.
41. Thank you for listening to us.
