Read his very powerful post below:

"PROSTRATION

In Jolo yesterday, President Rody Duterte made that gesture known to Muslims as Sujood or Sujud or Pagtitirapa.

This is an act of prostration where one bows down completely with the forehead touching the ground, signifying utmost humility, respect and reverence, and acknowledging the power and greatness of a more supreme being.



What PRRD did was to humble himself before those soldiers and innocents who died because of that cruel terrorist bombing, and conveying that powerful message that he will do everything to give them justice they deserve.

It is also an act of genuine respect to the community, and telling them that he is their public servant.

He did the act spontaneously, because that is the hallmark of a true leader with authentic malasakit.

Of course, it will be expected that the yellow-red-oligarch-elitists-wokininams will try to dismiss or downplay this as a publicity stunt.

Seriously? You go to a war-torn, dangerous and besieged territory just to create publicity?

You mean you are in denial that a cowardly act of terrrorism took place in that area, which took the lives of soldiers and innocents, and severely maimed and injured others while also destroying property and livelihood?

And it is because of this bombing which compelled our 75-year old President to go there and risk his own life, and that of his entourage, because he needs to personally assure the community and the family of the victims that his government is not backing down and will go after the perpetrators.



Most important of all, he went there to personally emphatize, grieve, and assure his troops that he is there with the all-out support of government.

You don't do this just for the sake of propaganda, when there is too much at stake.

This is an authentic act of courage.

You do this because you really care.

And that my dear fellow Filipinos, is our President."
