ICE presidential candidate Senator Alan Peter Cayetano yesterday slammed presidential bet Mar Roxas for “overacting” and advised the latter to listen first to rival candidate Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte before saying anything. “Unang-una yung ibang kritiko ni Mayor Duterte na kasama sa Liberal Party, masaydong OA, masyadong over acting. Pakinggan niyo muna ang speech ni mayor bago sila mag-react (First of, the critics of Mayor Duterte who are with Liberal Party are so overact-

ing. They should listen first to the whole speech of the mayor before they react),” Cayetano said in an interview yesterday. Cayetano said Roxas did not understand the context in which Duterte made his statement about slapping Roxas. “Ang sinabi na lang kay Secretary Roxas ay pag nakita ka sa kanto sasampalin ka. Andun ako nung sinabi ang speech at business community ang kausap ni Mayor Duterte. Ang konteksto ay pinapakita niya kung gaano kawawa ang mga tao at paano nangayari yung sa Yolanda. Kaya out of

frustarion, kaya sinabi niya na pag nakita ko yan sasampalin ko yan (What Duterte said was if he sees Roxas he will slap him. I was there when the mayor delivered the speech before the business community. The context there is he was showing how wretched the condition of the victims was when they were hit by typhoon Yolanda. So out of frustration, Duterte said he would slap Roxas),” Cayetano said. Cayetano said Duterte did not mean it literally but that he wanted to awaken Roxas to his shortcomings.

“The main point of Mayor Duterte there was do not oppress the people and let us fix the government,” he said. Cayetano also urged reporters who are not in Mindanao to analyze the context first before airing their reports. “My appeal to those reporters covering the mayor especially those who are not from Mindanao or from Davao is to study the context first because reporters in Davao city already know the sarcasm, hyperbole, and figures of speech
