THE FILIPINO fisherman who asked presidential candidates during a 2016 forum about their stance on the South China Sea dispute has expressed dismay over President Rodrigo R. Duterteâs statement that his promise to ride a jetski to the contested waters was just a publicity stunt.
âMasama po ang loob naming lahat dahil siyempre âyun ang sinabi niya. Inasahan namin âyun na gagawin niya. Baât sinabi niyang joke-joke lang (We feel resentful because, of course that is what he said and we expected that he will do just that. Why is he saying that it was just a joke?)?â Carlo Montehermozo, a fisherman in Pangasinan, told ABS-CBN News Teleradyo.
