Pres. Duterte completes visit to ASEAN countries F
oreign Affairs Acting Secretary Enrique Manalo praised the completed ASEAN visits of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte by emphasizing the importance of agreements between countries, including a framework on code of conduct, to promote cooperation, stability, and sustainability during a press briefing held Wednesday at the Mandarin Oriental.
“The purpose of the Code is to see how we can manage disputes carefully, not to raise tensions, not to escalate tensions,” Manalo said. The details of the framework will be under continuing negotiations and discussions, to be based on the “key principles of Engr. Rodger Velasco (right).

A1 Davao mayor to form ‘anti-vices’ body DAVAO CITY – Davao City Mayor Sara DuterteCarpio will sign an executive order creating the Vices Regulation Unit to oversee “full compliance” to the ordinances on liquor ban, anti-smoking law and the selling of alcoholic drinks and cigarettes to minors. The executive order will reportedly be issued on April 3. Duterte -Carpio wanted strict compliance to all three ordinances following complaints from parents of minors, and reports that some bars and restaurants are circumventing the law. The city hall is targeting establishments categorized under the entertainment industry such as videoke bars, resto-bars, restaurants and shops in beach resorts. On Tuesday afternoon, Duterte-Carpio warned owners of resto bars, event organizers and other shops serving alcoholic drinks against circumventing the law by practicing the so-called “last call for another round of beer and other

‘Cynical’ New York Times report a ‘well-paid hack job’ – Palace By CIELITO M. REGANIT
Malacañang on Wednesday assailed the New York Times (NYT) article portraying President Rodrigo Duterte as a ‘thug’ and a ‘brutal strongman’ and said that the op- ed piece is nothing more than a ‘well-paid hack job’ out to embarrass the President and intimidate him over his independent foreign policy. In a statement, Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella slammed the NYT article as a “cynical and unfair narration of President Duterte’s rise to power in the context of violence.”
“One would expect more from The New York Times. Their article, ‘Becoming Duterte: The Making of a Philippine Strongman,’ sounds like a well-paid hack job for well-heeled clients with shady motives,” the Palace official said. In the said NYT article published March 21, Richard Paddock described Duterte as a man who” relishes the image of killer -savior.” “Mr. Duterte and his friends have long cultivated legends of his sadistic exploits, like throwing a drug
lord from a helicopter and forcing a tourist who violated a smoking ban to eat his cigarette butt at gunpoint. It is a thuggish image that Mr. Duterte embraces,” the NYT correspondent wrote. “Whether Mr. Duterte has done what he says -- the killings he claims to have carried out are impossible to verify -- he has realized his gory vision in national policy. First as a mayor, now as president of the Philippines, he has encouraged the police and vigilantes to kill thousands of people with impunity,” Paddock said. See cynical, page A2
