MANILA, Philippines – Nais ni acting Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte na i-reschedule ang planong charity boxing match na itinakda sana ngayong Linggo, Hulyo 27, laban kay Philippine National Police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III.
Ito ay matapos na sabihin ni Duterte sa isang Facebook video na may iba pa siyang mga gagawin ngayong araw.
“I cannot be there on Sunday. I have other things to do. But Tuesday, I’m available. Tuesday, Wednesday, but not Sunday,” ani Duterte.
“Tuesday, Wednesday, or any other day.”
“So, I think, it’s better for you because you still have time to practice. Because your punching is a bit… when you jab, you immediately lower your hand. You need to defend your face. When you jab, you immediately return to your face. So, just a little advice, practice,” dagdag pa niya.
Bukod dito, binatikos din ng acting Davao City mayor ang pahayag ni Torre na nais nitong maging charity fight ang kanilang laban para sa mga biktima ng magkakasunod na bagyo at Habagat sa Metro Manila at iba pang probinsya.
“If you really just want a fight, why do you need charity? Why do you need the, do you need to use what’s happening right now with the floods in Metro Manila?”
Hinamon din ni Duterte si Torre ng suntukan sa labas ng boxing ring na wala umanong camera at gloves.
“If you want, I’ll come to you, no cameras. Let’s fight, no gloves. Why do you need anything? Are you serious about showbiz?” sinabi pa ni Duterte.
“So if you really want it, it’s just the two of you. Either I’ll come to you, just the two of us, just bring your bodyguard with you so that if something happens to you, at least someone will be there to pick you through the hospital,” dagdag pa niya.
Nauna nang nagtakda ng kondisyon si Duterte nang kumasa si Torre sa hamong suntukan. Kabilang dito ay ang pagsasailalim ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at iba pang elected official sa hair follice drug test bago sila sumailalim sa laban. RNT/JGC
