OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF CONGRESSMAN OMAR DUTERTE
On the Recent Issuance of the Warrant of Arrest Against Vice President Sara Z. Duterte
As a public servant and as someone who cares deeply about our nation, my heart breaks to see what is happening to our country today. The recent issuance of a warrant of arrest against Vice President Sara Z. Duterte is a clear act of political harassment. It is painful to watch the power of the government being used to break down and silence people instead of helping them.
Nakita na natin ang ganitong pamamaraan noon. Ginawa na nila ito kay PRRD, kay Tatay Digong. Ginamit nila ang kapangyarihan at ang batas para siraan at gipitin siya. At ngayon, nakikita uli natin na ginagawa nila ang kaparehong pang-aapi sa ating Pangalawang Pangulo.
To the Filipino people, I ask you with all sincerity: please wake up and see what the current administration is doing.
This is no longer just about Vice President Sara Duterte. This is about our dignity as a nation and the safety of every single family in our country. We must stand together, look out for one another, and fight for what is right.
JUSTICE FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE!
HON. OMAR DUTERTE
