MANILA, Philippines — On Tuesday, President Rodrigo R. Duterte advised voters to consider making a list of their favored candidates ahead of Election Day, claiming that remembering all of their names would be difficult.

During a campaign rally for the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino – Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) in Caloocan City, Duterte acknowledged failing to carry a list of his favored political bets in past elections.

He claimed that having a list of names on hand would prevent people from forgetting who to vote for.

“Kung magdala kayo ng listahan – kung sinuman ‘yung kandidato ninyo – kunin ninyo sa sinusuportahan ninyong kandidato,” he remarked.

Fears that introducing a list of favorite candidates would cast voters in a negative light were allayed by Duterte.

“I know there are some who believe na masama ‘yang magdala ka ng papel. Hindi is the national language of India. It’s fine, lalo na kung magkopya ka na since you can’t recall what ‘pag nandoon ka na’ means. (Many people believe that bringing a list with you is a terrible idea.) It’s not the case. It’s fine to duplicate because you won’t remember when you’ve already arrived),” he explained.

Whether or whether people wish to vote straight-ticket, having a list of favorite candidates is recommended, according to Duterte.

“If you want to vote straight, that’s OK; if you don’t, you have a choice.” Ang mga kandidato na gusto ninyo, maglista kayo (list the candidates you prefer). It’s fine to reproduce a list you’ve made or a sample ballot you’ve been given during election season,” he noted.

‘Neither corrupt nor evil’

Meanwhile, the President reaffirmed his call for Senate old-timers who have allegedly done nothing to be removed.

“Marami diyan sa senado, matagal na, wala na namang ginagawa,” says the narrator. Kunwari may issue magsalita from time to time. ‘ Yan ang ayaw ko ngayon sa mga senator. Many senators have been doing nothing for a long time, but ‘yung iba matagal na, palitan na ninyo (Many senators have been doing nothing for a long time. When there was an issue, they would communicate from time to time. Senators irritate me now because of this. Replace those old-timers),” he remarked.

He urged voters to vote for politicians who have a desire to serve the country and its people, stressing that many candidates tend to forget about the country and its people once elected.

“Kung gusto mo ng aspiration, manalo ka, poporma-porma, but during the six or three years that you are elected, you accomplish nothing.” Marami sa kanila diyan. Why don’t you just pick folks who are nakilala na o pinakilala sa inyo? There are quite a few of them. Why don’t you only choose folks you know or have been exposed to),” he suggested.

Duterte claims that the candidates he is sponsoring have attributes that make them deserving of election.

“Hindi ako kukuha ng kandidato na corrupt o kandidato na masama ang ugali o hambog ang ugali o hambog ang ugali o hambog ang ugali o hambog ang ugali o hambog ang ugali o (I will not pick corrupt candidates or candidates who have a bad attitude or are arrogant). “They’re all really somber and humble,” he added.

‘Just be nice.’

As a result of the numerous instances of gun ban violations, Duterte swore that his administration would not allow terrorism to disrupt elections.

“While I am president, I will not allow terrorism,” he declared.

He urged all political parties, including his own, to avoid using violence or coercion during elections.

“Magkapartido man tayo o hindi (You just behave whether we’re in the same party or not).” Don’t terrify the populace. “The elections must be both free and credible,” he stated.

The Chief Executive also reminded candidates of the Alunan Doctrine, which states that politicians are not allowed to have more than two bodyguards, which is already a private army.

Those discovered in violation of the policy, he said, risk being detained and prosecuted.

“Ang utos ko sa pulis pati military, pag kandidato ka, may kasama kang armado sumobra sa dalawa, it’s a private army,” said one of the candidates. Hulihin mo ‘yung kandidato pati ‘yung mga bodyguard (My order to the police and military: if you’re a candidate and you’re escorted by more than two armed guards, you’re escorted by a private army. Arrest the candidate as well as their bodyguards),” he stated.

Former Interior Secretary Rafael Alunan III introduced the Alunan Doctrine, which deems two or more armed persons to be a private army that should be disarmed by the government.
