Recently, about 250 Filipinos and Malaysians joined together in a concert intended to celebrate the presidency of now President Rodrigo Duterte, August 13.
In a report by Rappler, the Filipino community performed during the concert wherein the singer Kris Patt, born in Davao City, was featured in the concert.
The said concert was organized by Marcus Francis and Datuk George Gerald.
“There are hardcore supporters and admirers of President Duterte here in Malaysia, and we would like to collectively convey our support to and solidarity with the President,” Francis said as quoted in the report.
Not only ‘party people’ are there in the concert, but also high-ranking officials like Philippine Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza, Secretary for Interior and Local Government Ismael Sueño, National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon, and Chair of the Implementing Panel for the Peace Process Irene Santiago.
The report said that these officials were in Kuala Lumpur for the launch of the Implementing Panel for the Bangsamoro agreements.
Even the Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia J. Eduardo Malaya was present in the concert. He praised the organizers of the event for making the Filipino community get along together, and also with other nationalities.
“The enthusiasm of the attendees indicate that the priorities and programs of President Duterte resonate not only among Filipinos but also among Malaysians and other nationals,” said Malaya.
Malaya added that there is no other Philippine leader alike late President Ramon Magsaysay and Duterte who energized the Filipinos like this.
“No Philippine leader has energized and electrified Filipinos and foreigners alike since Ramon Magsaysay in the 1950s, and we are fortunate to have a transformational leader now in the person of Rodrigo Duterte,” he said.
