Presidential son Paolo “Pulong” Duterte told his critics to have their own tattoos instead picking on his back tattoo allegedly linking him to illegal drug activities.
“Pakialam gyud akong tattoo? Pabuhat mog inyo uy! (Really, pick on my tattoo? Have one yourselves),” Paolo said on his Facebook post on Tuesday in response to calls by opposition senatorial bets and critics.
Paolo said he spent years for his tattoo, enduring cries, and sweats of pain, only for critics to feast on.
The younger Duterte’s taunt was reciprocated by Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr., who said that if he were in Duterte’s shoes he would not personally show his tattoo.
“I won’t even show our notes verbale regarding China, tattoo ko pa? Manigas na silang lahat. It is a matter of honor never to accommodate enemies” Locsin said in a tweet.
A certain “Bikoy”, in a series of videos uploaded on social media, claimed that the younger Duterte has a tattoo on his back which he uses as a code to receive drug money ranging from P20 million to P30 million.
Earlier, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, only a court order can compel her brother to make public his back tattoo, citing Paolo’s right to privacy.
