“I would like to put on notice if there’s an American agent here, that from now on, you want the Visiting Forces Agreement done? Well, they have to pay. It’s a shared responsibility, but your share of responsibility does not come free. Because after all, when the wa*r breaks out, we all pay. You, kami, we are nearest to the garrison there where there are a lot of arsenals of the Chinese armed forces. Kaya tandaan nila ‘yan. I hope they would understand that we are a nearest to a theater of wa*r. Ang banatan diyan it could be submarines and aircraft carriers and all. Madadamay talaga tayo. I do not want to participate in any adventure of that kind, if I can help it. I am not against the Chinese, neither am I a — ako, hindi ako pro-American. I am just a Filipino government worker working for the interest of my country,” explained President Duterte.
According to the senator, what President Duterte said was "ext0rtionist".
“Dear Sam, This is refers to the statement, “You want the VFA? You have to pay”. Just to clarify, please be informed that we are not a nation of ext0rtionist, at lalong hindi kami ‘mukhang pera’. Err… hindi lahat.
Shamefully,
Juan” said Lacson.
Because of Lacson's statement, some of President Duterte's supporters answered the senator.
Lacson, on the other hand, responded to the criticisms thrown at him by the Duterte Supporters. So in a social media post, he talked about trolls being paid with taxpayers money (buwis).
“Those who disagree with me using reason, I engage to discuss the issue at hand. Trolls can easily be spotted – they are imp3rtinent, irrat!onal and s3nseless. Sadly, some troll farms are being funded by taxpayers’ money,” posted Lacson. “Sa mga troll farms at pre-campaign propaganda ba napupunta ang buwis natin?” he added.
