Duterte slams Lacson for ‘trying to be a crusader but ignorant’

President Rodrigo Duterte has noticed Senator Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson for his comments on every issue involving the Duterte administration.

“When I said that the policemen can accept gifts in gratitude but in small token, I was stating the words of the law. Hindi man nila alam na ano. I can forgive Lacson for coming out with an erroneous tongue,” Duterte said in his speech in Malacanang.

The President told Lacson to look again on his statements because that would help him in case the senator seeks to run for presidency again.

“Maybe because he’s not a lawyer. But his penchant to just right away in every issue dito, I think he’s running for President. But I would caution him to be more circumspect because pagdating ng panahon ‘yan, ‘yan ang magagamit ng mga ano niya, mga kalaban niya. Sheer ignorance. Trying to be a crusader but ignorant,” Duterte added.

Duterte also hit Vice President Leni Robredo for warning policemen not to accept gifts.

The President said that it will bad for the Philippines if Robredo will become President because she doesn’t read the anti-graft law.
