Headstart: 'Don't defend me,' Duterte tells incoming UN envoy Locsin 

ONLY A PRINCIPLED MAN WOULD SAY "DON'T DEFEND ME, DO IT FOR THE COUNTRY" WOW! THE ONLY PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT I HEARD SAYING THAT AND TRULY MEANT IT. THANK GOD FOR YOU PRES. D30.

As American of European ancestry I must admit that I am jealous, wish to have Duterte as POTUS Can you Filipinos please lend him to us or perhaps rather clone him instead?

YES MR.TED LOCSIN...DO NOT DEFEND THE PRESIDENT..PLEASE DEFEND OUR COUNTRY AND ALL FILIPINOS a NATION AS A WHOLE. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST...GOD BLESS. Peace.

A good choice...Sir Teddy says what it is...he is a solid Duterte supporter but he also ...criticizes the president when he sees things not as palatable as they should be

wow! great! the president is truly asking help for he country, not for himself..i pray for the success of our war against drugs and corruptions..

the Charisma of President Duterte.. Indirectly sending his message to Mr. Locsin. He can't say NO to the country's calling.. CONGRATS..

Congratulations sir Teddy..!!! bravo ! your appointment to UN made me proud as a filipino. I'm your avid follower and I believe that u deserve it. God bless u and our President Duterte.

Congratulations, Teddy Locsin Jr. We are proud of your appointment to the UN. Prez. Duterte made an appropriate choice.

A Brilliant Guy Atty Teddy. That's what we need in our country... Go 4 PHILIPPINES.👊👊

Mr. Locsin, I think you and Pres. Duterte compliments each other because both of you has the persona of sincerity in serving and helping our country. But most of all,.. You are both Patriotic with principles and integrity. Thank you for accepting the UN position. I will miss your TEDITORIAL segment. Good luck and God speed.

The situation was like " I am not forcing you but you can't say no. You can't say no to the sense that Tedy himself knows how to handle the offered job. And no compromised involve in fact the President said to him NO NEED FOR YOU TO DEFEND ME , I CAN PROTECT MYSELF. DO IT FOR OUR COUNTRY. Where can you find a selfless leaders of today's gene but him. I adore the President on his LOVE to our country Philippines. God bless you Mr. PRESIDENT sir! and congratulations Mr. Teddy Locsin sir. TIA...

"DONT DEFEND ME, DEFEND THE PHILIPPINES" all i can say is this teary eye

just do it for the country ..... OH YEAH

naiyak ako sa sincerity ng ating presidente sa bansa at sa mga kapwa nating Filipino. Godbless our country.

kahit anong mangyari susupotahan si President duterte

when the president ask you... it means he knows you are one of the best public servant the nation deserves to have ;)

does this mean we won't see him on tv anymore? I am happy for him, but it makes me sad too.

pres.duterte,is a very smart.... dont defend me....sir locsin..congrts.

thanks Teddy Los in for helping the President Duterte for the people.

Thank you, Teddy, for accepting to serve the Filipino people. You made the best choice. This is your and your family's legacy. I'm proud of you.

because when you know you're not doing anything wrong..you don't need someone to defend you...you dont need to hire someone to do that. people will defend him voluntarily as they are moved...

That's our president. inunahan na talaga c Teddy Locsin na gawin lang nya ang nararapat para sa bansa.

Congrats Sir Teddy!

Things are falling into the right places...my President and Tatay Digong has so much wisdom that he is appointing the right people for the right position. Real men with real integrity. Sir Ted, you're among the few icons in the media industry that has no stain, political bias nor color and in your appointment as ambassador, you are the golden key that will open the eyes of the global community for them to see how great the new generation of Filipinos is...and help stop the international media black props that destroys our country's image.

congrats...

Laconic? Duterte a spartan?

Two of the best men and speakers for this country under one roof. I salute you sir. Let us do it for the country.

Teddy is short of answers. He is indeed impulsive to what has NOT been formally offered by the President.

Ang panget kung si karen davilla ang pinili walang kwenta. Congrats sir teddy! Im one of your avid fan. Sa lahat ng journalist ng abs cbn ikaw lang po ang hindi bias... Tulongan nyo po ang bansa natin kagaya ng sabi ng ating mahal na pangulo at maipaabot nyo po sa UN na mali ang nababalitaan nilang EJK sa ating bansa at wala pong Ejk na ngyayari. Pagpalain po kayo ng mahal na panginoon...

Karen Davila sounds like a chismosa sa kalye who speaks English 😅🤭

Eddie Hill : Ans Saya Saya yup duterte don't need help because he is sincere even the people plotting and hoping to beat and break him hoping that the people will get their hope crush since his drug war alone cannot change their economic situation will have a hard time getting their way because Duterte is unwavering and sincere and the people can feel it. Even just 2 months into his presidency already talk of impeachment unprecedented that proves that they can feel their plot wont work and they are worried he might get even more popular. He is going on a hard battle though when politicians deliberately make the people poor so they can put there relatives in power this is happening all over the country and this is very hard to solve.

A rare scene duterte roping IN Lopez's to get their support... Gina Lopez also it just that gina got rejected by commission of appointments

Asking his wife, why ? What is the point, omg! No need . Ashamed on you Karen.

Showbiz!!naman tong si Karen Davila damay pa ang wife ni Sir Teddy tsismis!! Pa lol!

Cc C...we teach you how to do it ..think righteous!!! follow a good moral...serve your country with..honesty and make peace with your neighbors with respect and love your fellowmen...and GOD WILL DO THE REST!!!!!!

CONGRATS.... AMB TEDDY LOCSIN. THE PRESIDENT AGAIN, MADE A WISE CHOICE.

manganga diay kung si Digong maatubang,mapaYes ka,hehe bright gyud diay

Do your job sir Teddy serve the country and the people. Nevermind Tatay Digong he can handle even the worst issue. And we the DDS supporter never stop to support his campaign against ilegal drugs curruption and criminalty. It's about time for us Filipinoes Bering United. And be a GOD FEARING AND LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.
