>Trillanes (T):
>I am making the senate halls and walls my palace
>I Iike vitamin D. I’m fortified. Senate is mine.
>Malacanang is yours.
>Duterte (D):
>Stop saying that. Is the CIA behind you to back up
>your advocacies?
>If I oppose the U.S.A, does it mean all the Peemayers
>will stand by you and will be against me?
>T:
>You said it exactly, Duterte.
>And I’m dreaming of another EDSA people power.
>D:
>The police is ever loyal to me. Regarding the other
>uniformed personnel, that’s for them to decide which
>side they belong. Each peemayer has an independent
>mind. If they will like you or begin to like you, they
>will think like you; plan and act the way you do. I
>believe the Ayers can put things in balance to see or
>judge if their actions are right or wrong.
>T:
>Does it mean you’re cowering in fear that another coup
>will happen and that you will be replaced?
>Tell me, Mr. Duterte what’s in your mind. Let’s iron
>out things in haste.
>D:
>I fear no one. I always think of the Filipino people’s
>plight.
>The G-d of Israel is with me. They say I don’t believe
>in G-d. That’s foolish. Your G-d is different from
>mine.
>T:
>Mr. Sotto favored my home stay at the senate, and I
>guess many senators liked his idea that they secure me
>here.
>What exactly do you want? You want me to be back in
>jail so you can silence my mouth, put me in the
>dungeon, away from public eyes and ears?
>D:
>Daily, we talk against each other. You’re saying your
>piece and I’m saying mine.
>Who do you think the people would believe in? You or
>Me? No amount of talk could ever change the people’s
>knowledge of me and they will know if you’re saying
>the truth or not.
>T:
>The church is by my side, praying, supporting,
>consoling. Who’s by your side, Mr. Duterte?
>Can you tell me who?
>D:
>You can have a thousand angels to attest to the good
>testimonies which you claim.
>I could only have Satan to tell me if indeed, I’m a
>good and honest man. You might say that your angels
>are better than Satan. But don’t you know that even an
>angel can fall. Remember Lucifer. Satan may not, even
>if he performs any good act, become an angel but if he
>(Satan) would attest to G-d’s divine goodness in me
>that he (Satan) eventually tells the truth, arguing
>with the testimonies of all the angels which surround
>you, I would commend him (Satan) for that..but no
>amount of good thing or good act would ever transform
>him to become an angel. He may appear like an angel of
>light but that could mean another story.
>
>T:
>Do you mean you believe in Satan, too?
>
>D:
>I did not say I believe in him (Satan)…but I could
>judge Satan as good if to me, he will tell the truth.
>I know he could never be good, or be telling the truth
>because Satan is full of lies, so let’s just dig more
>on the truth about the matter. This (our quarrel) is
>political. Let’s not close our eyes on life’s reality.
>
>-0-
>The debate momentarily ceased because of bladder break.
>-0-
>At the comfort room, Trillanes and Duterte
>accidentally met.
>
>Trillanes told Duterte: ‘Mt. Apo is yours. Mayon is
>mine. Take Malacanang. I do take the Senate.’
>
>Then, Duterte replied: “Your suggestion could be a
>better deal..but how long would you ever stay in the
>senate?”
>
>“Until your term ends.” , Trillanes replied.
>
>Then a voice was heard by both of them from the heaven:
>
>“Why do you always quarrel? You build walls instead of
>bridges. You want to prove that the other person is
>wrong. Life is too short. Befriend other people. Think
>of the other person as your brother. You owe the
>nation your talents. Could you just stop this
>bickering? Now shake each other’s hand and say,
>‘Shalom.’ ”
