Their rating
Rodrigo Duterte

“President Rodrigo Duterte heeds the advise of some Cabinet members that "nothing good" would come out of a debate with retired Supreme Court associate justice Antonio Carpio and, it would be a "demotion" for a sitting president to engage in a debate with an "ordinary lawyer.”

Vera Files rated this: Flip-flop

Vera Files says: It was Duterte himself who dared Carpio to a debate considering that they "are both lawyers."
