Duterte should spare the nation from agony over Espinosa killing

With one little gesture and change of style, President Rodrigo Duterte could spare our people and our country a ton of worry and days of agony, if he would make a resolve during this holiday season to choose his words more carefully and read instead from a prepared and reasoned statement during his public engagements.

We are thinking of the distress that he has brought upon himself and the nation with his freewheeling and extemporaneous remarks on the killing last month of Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa inside his jail cell in Baybay,Leyte.
