FRANCISCO S. TATAD
I HAVE been getting a lot of mixed mail for saying in my last column that after a year of President Rodrigo Duterte, the nation is gravely ill. Many are genuinely thankful, but a couple of coarse characters have tried to bully me with a vulgar word that has no place in the conversation of adults. I have not heard from the President himself, but in his last speech before the said column he fantasized about my testes, in a far more vulgar way than Donald Trump recently tweeted about TV co-host Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s show “Morning Joe”, supposedly “bleeding from a face-lift” on New Year’s Eve. I am old enough to take all this.
