Mike Enriques to Duterte: ‘Iba siya, he’s different.Totoo siya,No pretensions!

Pitong presidente na ng bansa ang napagdaanan ng batikang radio and TV news anchor na si Mike Enriquez sa halos lagpas na apat na dekada. 

‘Exciting’ ang paglalarawan niya sa kasalukuyang administrasyon ni President Rodrigo Duterte. Saad ng 24 Oras anchor, ‘Iba siya, he’s different. ‘Whether for good or for bad, it’s too early to say or conclude… isang linggo pa lang [siyang namumuno.]’ 

Ayon pa kay Mike, totoong tao ang bagong halal na pangulo. Na-interview ko na yun, before the elections, sa aming presidential series, both for radio and TV. ‘He is what he is, you know. ‘Duterte is what he is. ‘He is beautiful because you don’t have to see through him, e, what you see is enough to fill up your paper for the whole day.’ 

Ano ang impression niya kay Duterte nung nakapanayam niya noon at ngayong naging pangulo na ng bansa? Tugon ng 64-year-old multi-awarded media personality, ‘I try not to have impression of people, especially presidential candidates. ‘I’ve tried… very, very hard. I’m not saying I’ve succeeded every time. ‘Nagmumura siya noong interview, e. Tapos noong na-elect na siya, nagmumura pa rin. 

‘Sabi ko, ‘Ay, totoo ito.’ ‘Tapos ngayon, pinipigil niya, e, in front of the whole world. ‘To make a very important point is, totoo siya. 

No pretensions. ‘I’m gonna wear maong? And I’m gonna wear barong. ‘Of course there’s a tinge of arrogance there. Yung tipong ganito, ‘I’m the president.”
