Mayor Duterte has been criticized for lambasting the illegal drug trade in Mexico in front of the Mexican ambassador but wins the praise of supporters.

In a news article shared by GMA News Network recently, Duterte earned the flak from critics for what they call a display of behavior unbecoming of a President and critics called Duterte “bastos.”
In the article, it was learned that Mayor Duterte was invited to speak before the National Association of Independent Travel Agencies.
Bakit pupunta ka ba sa Mexico ngayon? Are you going to Mexico with all the kidnappings and killings there? Drugs. Colombia. Everywhere. America. (Why? Were you planning to visit Mexico now? Are you going to Mexico with all the kidnappings and killings there? Drugs. Colombia. Everywhere. America.
When the organizers signaled to Duterte that the Mexican ambassador is seated beside Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, it was then that Mayor Duterte realized the faux pas and immediately made amends. You may read the full news report here.
Yes, the Ambassador is there. I am sorry.
Meanwhile, critics of Mayor Duterte quickly pounced on his diplomatic faux pas and made an issue out of it, obviously to slow down his climb to the top of the survey ratings. Let us read together their negative comments on Duterte.
Richard Chiu wrote:
Duterte is truly no class and clueless about being a diplomat. As cursing the Pope is not enough, he now curse the entire nation in front of the nations representative.
But hey, not like Filipino has that much class and knows how to behave in front of foreign guests. Duterte and Filipino is just made for each other.

Anu nalang sasabihin ng ibang bansa sa atin. Maapektohan ang relasyon ng Mexico at Phils. Tunay ngang maka China ka.. bakit di mu tirahin ang China na sinasakop ang buung western shore ng bansa. Dun mo epakita na matapang ka. (What will other countries say about the Philippines? Surely, it will have an impact on Mexico-Philippines relation. You are indeed pro-China. Why not slam China who is invading our western border? Show your bravery there.

Tpos tong mga dutertards naman tuwang tuwa naman khit iniinsulto n ng diyos nila ang ibang bansa d nlang nila inisip na may mga pinoy sa mexico na pwedeng paginitan tsktsk digong style ng kampanya mo para mkkakuha ng boto ay ung siga siga effect ngyn ko lng narerealize ang dami pa tlagang bobotante 70yrs old ka na digong bunganga nlng matapang syo! (Digong before your nitpick the problems of other people/countries, fix your backyard first. Take the case of Davao City, which you ruled for 21 years; you are a failure in suppressing the drug problem here, but you have the audacity to criticize Mexico? And then the Dutertards, they were laughing though their god (referring to Duterte) is raining insults on other countries, not realizing that there are Filipinos in Mexico and they could be subjected to retaliation. Tsk.tsk.tsk. The Digong style of campaigning to win votes is the tough guy tactic. Just now, I have come to the realization that indeed, there are many dumb voters. Digong, you are already 70 years old, what remains of your brave self is your mouth.)
But Duterte’s followers don’t take things sitting down and came out charging like cornered tigers. Let us read together, how they won the comment battle.

So? I mean who cares if the ambassador of Mexico was there. That’s a fact. Mexico has a lot of drug cartels, I mean tons of methamphetamine being cooked every single day. This is all over the news. Wag nang gawan pa ng issue GMA News. ( Stop making an issue of this GMA News.)
Vinnie Rocha wrote:
He was just being truthful and the Mexican ambassador knows it too. When did it become a crime telling the truth? Kayo ba pupunta ba kayo ng Mexico sa mga panahong ito na laganap ang pagpugot ng ulo sa mga kalaban ng mga drug cartels? (Do you want to visit Mexico at this time when many beheadings are happening to the enemies of the drug cartels?)

No problem yan kahit sa harap pa ng Pres ng Mexico. Totoo nman talaga grabe ang drugs doon cocaine pa at heroin. (I don’t mind Duterte speaking against it even in front of the Mexican President. It’s true. The drug problem in Mexico is rampant there. It’s even cocaine and heroine.)

Duterte is just telling the truth about the drugs here in Mexico. Normal trading na nga sa ibang lugar pra ka nlng bmbli ng candy. Lalo na sa tepito. ( It’s normal trading in other places (Mexico), it’s like buying candy. More so in Tepito.
Dpa nmn maxado dito sa DF, but outside the city, matutulala ka nalang. The ambassador knew it well. (Not that baD in DF, but outside the city, you will be stunned! The ambassador knew it well!)
What can you say about this post?
That’s the truth at di ba nakarating na nga sila dito? Truth hurts.
Masakit talaga ang katotohanan tulad ng isang sugat na malala at kapag nasaling tudo ang hapdi at sakit sa buong katawan, kaya kinakaingan ng agarang operasyon upang hindi maapektuhan ang buong katawan. Ganyan din ang sitwasyon patungkol sa droga na lumaganap na sa buong mundo at lahat ay apektado, ngaun kung may isang matapang na leader na nagbigay ng babala upang magkaroon ng atensyon ang mga nakakasakop nito ay malaking tulong upang gumawa sila ng kaagarang aksyon upang mapigil o mabawasan man lang ang problemang ito sa droga.
Wla nmn msama s cnabi nya totoo lng nman un. Mkpg comment k nmn akala mo npklaking issue n, thats the reality they must know and im sure they know too.

tama lang yan at ng magising ang Mexico only Mayor Duterte has the balls to say it! walang halong pagpapanggap, yan ang totoong tao.
I would rather lose the presidential race than lose my identity. Duterte was simply being himself. Brutally frank and reckless. Walang bulahan at walang plastikan. Kahit sino pa and masagasaan as long as he stands by the truth. Ang hirap kasi nitong mga kalaban ni no DU30 at mga supporter ay sobrang corny. React kaagad.
SAME WORDS OF TRUMP. IT MIGHT BE A WAKE UP CALL FOR MEXICO TO CHANGE THEIR IMAGE, JUST LIKE WHAT DU30 PLAND FOR US.
If we don’t accept the fact and the truth that PI’s path is going as it is now like that in Mexico, our country will not move to somewhere else better. By accepting the fact, it is like we are creating a benchmark where to start and how far have we gone in eliminating this drug problem.
Hindi kase si Mayor Duterte ang tipo ng tao na hahalikan ang puwet mo para lang i-please kayo!! MGA GUNGGONG!!!
The writer here is obviously anti DUTERTE, mga robot yan dikta ng mga publisher na natatakot sa kabulastugan nila na ma pipigilan pag nakaupo na si Mayor DUTERTE, kahit anong gawin nyo sa IDOL namin (the next LEE KWAN YU of the Philippines) nobody can stop the Filipinos to push for GENUINE CHANGE!!!
Wrong.
dba sabi nila maliit lng na tao kaya ni Du30? tama naman cya eh kht ang ambassador prob nila ang drug cartel sa bansa nila. nasa news po yan. para naman sa mamayan ang cnsb nyang babala at pinakita nya na d pwdng maliitim nlng ang pinas porket wla tayong kakayahan para lumaban. tingnan nyo kng ano ginawa satin ng China? tama un sa simula pa lng i-establish mo na bansa mo na umaalma dn tau. ginagawa pa taung tapunan ng Basura ng Canada. ngyn may isang tao handa tayo ipaglaban cya pa ngyn ang bastos? sa ginagawa ba satin ng ibang bansa d ba pang babastos un? ok lng sa inyo na pumasok ang drug cartel sa pinas dyan tau uubusin dhl mga malaking grupo sila!
Now is the time that the Voice of Truth should be heard. If it’s true the Ambassador should take action into it. Yan ang LIDER Hindi sunudsurAn… Go Mayor Duterte!
wag tayong plastik,,tungkol sa snabi ni Mayor 2ngkol sa bansang Mexico,,khit anong pilikula kung 2ngkol sa DRUGS,,lagi Mexico ang bida,,bat d nagagalit ang Goyerno nila sa mga DIRECTOR ng pilikula,,ung kay Mayor ngsalita sa harap ng iilang tao jan sa meeting nayan,,maybe 100,or 1000 people,,,pero ang isang pilikula,,halos boung bansa ang nkapanood,,alin ba ang mas mabigat don,,,
No doubt it was a social blunder and un-Filipino but when we look at a statement, the first question we should ask is, is it true? If not, we can forget it. The question of whether it’s appropriate or not is further down the line. So Digong, march on to malacanang!
sa Davao walang Druga, walang NPA yong ang sabi Nang mga taga Davao at solve ang problema within 3 to 6 months yon ang sa nang mayor Duterte ,but he was the mayor for a couple of yrs. in that city is it right mga taga Davao? . Basig gadamgo ramo gamata, Pls. Wake UP.
Duterte’s Speeches has three elements
1. Misinformation
2. Exaggeration
3. Character Assassination
Davao Death Squad is about intimidation
Davao is a safe haven for Drug Lord
No Drug Lord was killed or arrested in Davao in 30 years
And yet 1000 were killed , 30% young
