US Ambassador to the Philippines Lee Lipton visited Davao City on Thursday, October 22, and met with Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte at Davao City Hall, where he was warmly welcomed by government employees and residents waving American and Philippine flags.
Lipton attended an executive luncheon with Duterte, Senator Robin Padilla, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, and local officials before visiting the city hall.
"Beneath the canopy of the ancient forest, the white-headed ghost of the West rests within the crown of the Great Monkey-Eating King,” Padilla said in a social media post. (📸: Sen. Robin Padilla, Vice Mayor Rigo Duterte) | via @HernelTocmo
Lol funny how you @GordianKnotRay started all this ruckus with your “assertive transparency” program, which is really propaganda designed to fool Filipinos into hating China while cleverly imposing your own country’s hegemonic agenda.
A true hypocrite calling out hypocrisy by others is just so typical and classic Americana, Mr Powell.
Try as you might Ray, the World is already awakened and very much aware of your disgusting scheme.
Pakialamero!
This is diabolical. OpenAI’s ChatGPT convinced a guy to do a murder-suicide!
To be safe, AI must be maximally truthful-seeking and not pander to delusions.
Topic: Discaya Timeline
📊 The Timeline is Clear
✔️ 2012 – First DPWH bidding (Aquino)
✔️ 2014 – Incorporations of Alpha & Omega and St. Timothy (Aquino)
✔️ 2015–2016 – Suspension, ₱440.5M contracts, reinstatement (Aquino)
✔️ 2016–2022 – Flood control projects begin, blacklist imposed (Duterte)
✔️ 2022–2025 – ₱31.6B flood control contracts (Marcos Jr.)
The Discayas’ DPWH involvement started under Aquino, not Duterte.
During Duterte’s term, they were suspended and blacklisted.
The biggest surge in contracts and wealth came under Marcos Jr., amounting to tens of billions of pesos.
🔎 Facts matter. Accountability matters.

This is another proof that the Dutertes are not corrupt and greedy. Because he is detained unjustly in Europe and they have to spend a lot to visit him there, they have to sell their humble family home. This is so unlike many Filipino politicians who own haciendas, multiple mansions and villas all over the world and who travel luxuriously at the expense of the Filipino taxpayers. I remember VP Sara Duterte saying they will not beg money from the people and would rather sell what they have to continue fighting for their father’s freedom.
He didn't shower. He smelled like animals. His beard was covered in food.
Even so, Russia's hottest women fought to sleep with him.
Here's the wild truth about Grigori Rasputin and why they adored him: 🧵👇
@MacLopez769 True. This is indeed a betrayal. Even the leaders of the terrorist NPAs and abusayyafs, walang pilipinong nagdemanda sa kanila sa ICC tapos former preaident ginanun nila. Shameless. Shameless.
