Some Ironies About Duterte's Arrest

Irony 1: The Philippine authorities acted on an arrest warrant that the ICC issued and sent to Interpol in Manila. The ICC sought Duterte’s arrest on crimes against humanity, and alleged extrajudicial killings occurring between 2011 and 2019. 

Isn't it ironic that fake news is circulating that there was no copy of the warrant of arrest ever? (Pwede ba sumama si Digong kung wala?) Another case of gas-lighting?

                                     *************

Irony 2: Fake news is usually used to deceive, mislead, delude, and beguile Filipinos. The aim is to damage the reputation of an entity ... in this case the ICC.

Isn't it ironic that some people can't handle the truth ... what could be more infuriating if it is employed to confuse the people and sway or influence their views by extracting "pity" from gullible members?

                                     ************

Irony 3: A Duterte supporter commented on the way General Nicolas Torre approached the ex-president.  That is not the way to talk to the president?

Isn't it ironic that this commenter chooses to be mum at the time the president joked about rape victims ... at the time he concocted some malicious and salacious innuendos about Sen Leila de Lima ... when he badmouth the Pope ... and when he was mocking GOD? Where were you lady - some mother of perpetual help to Digong?

                                        **************

Irony 4: Salvador Medialdia (lawyer of the former president) was quick to accuse ICC that Duterte was kidnapped and forced to leave the country without his consent.

Isn't it ironic to see a kidnapping happening in a public place for all the world to see? To some readers, the ex-president and lawyer Medialia looks comfy in their seats on their way to Hague. 

                                        **************

Irony 5: A DDS was quoted as saying: "We are law-abiding citizens ... we are not the monsters they thought as to be." That's not what we saw when Honeylet Avancena hammered the police head with a cell phone.

Isn't it ironic that when somebody professed they were law-abiding and were not monsters ... a vivid image of themselves comes to light.

                                     ***************

Irony 6: Another DDS was heard saying: "Bongbong Marcos could have done something more to stop the arrest of FPRRD.

Isn't it ironic that the person they called "bangag", lutang, weak president etc ... ay inaasahan pala nilang maging knight in their shining armor and will come to his rescue pagkatapos nilang laitin at siraan?

                                      **************

Irony 7. After the wake of Digong's arrest ... si Hariruki (or Harimaw to some) is calling the DDS citizens to march ala People Power at EDSA. Walang originality ha?

Isn't it ironic na ang taong NANANAWAGAN ng people power is a fugitive ... at sa kasalukuyan ay NAGTATAGO?

                                       ************

Irony 8: After months of seclusion Harry Roque resurfaced in Hague Netherlands just like a lost soul rising from his grave? Does he know what he is doing?

Isn't it ironic that a smart lawyer of his caliber can open a can of worms that will hammer the final nail to his coffin? Careful Harry ... the Interpol is coming!

                                        ***********

Irony 9: The whole landscape of Duterte's woes can be summarized in Duterte's campaign promise: "Mag-jetski ako papuntang China ..."

Isn't it ironic it turned out to be: "Magjetplane ako papuntang Hague Netherlands.
