Mayor Rody Duterte reading the list of questions from ThinkingPinoy

In an earlier post and through other channels, I asked readers to send over their questions about Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s platform of government, i.e. should he become the next Philippine president.

I sifted through hundreds of emails and Facebook messages to gather questions on Duterte’s platform of government, especially those relating to his Philstar.com Interview that I transcribed a few days ago.

This late afternoon, I asked for some help from a former co-worker at Sun.Star Davao.

She handed the list of questions, along with a cover letter, to Mayor Duterte so he can address them in detail. She was somehow able to do it. Yay!

The cover letter reads:

The mayor said he will need at least two days to prepare the answers for the 50 questions about his platform.

The list of questions cover 25 topics, namely:

• The Police
• The Steel industry
• Business Islands
• Environment
• Access to credit
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Education
• General economic policy
• Ferdinand Marcos
• Government reorganization
• China
• Terrorism
• Insurgencies
• Extra-judicial killings
• Federalism
• Tax reform
• Freedom of Information
• Anti-Dynasty Law
• Political capital and Military Loyalty
• Public discipline
• Decentralization of Development
• Trade Liberalization vs Protectionism
• Allocation of legislative seats in the prospective federalist state
• Planned capital cities
• Local vs National Leadership
• Potential Arms Races

And so, at this point, I guess all we have to do is wait. :-)

– TP

it definitely is a long list but the questions are all relevant and if rd will be able to answer it rightly then it may sway some votes in his favor...
