De La Salle professor Antonio P. Contreras, a political analyst, had reacted on his Facebook account on October 7 to actress Agot Isidro's post on Facebook where she slammed President Duterte's way of dealing with our international relations with US and EU and for belittling as "crumbs" the foreign aid that the Philippines had been receiving.
The professor threw his too powerful statement regarding the political illiteracy of Agot. According to him: “You badly need it. You seem to be ignorant of the nuances of politics and IR (international relations). Don’t worry, I will not charge you for consultationI will do it pro bono for the love of country.”
“Agot Isidro should be ashamed of herself. What she said is precisely what happens when you become mendicant. You think heavens will fall and we will all get hungry just because the US and the EU are pissed off. Let me educate you Ms. Isidro. International relations is not as simple as you think it is,” said Contreras.
“Countries do not behave like the soap opera characters you play where a bitchiness of one leads to a catfight, or a fistfight. It is not what leaders say that matters. It is what is in their country’s best interests,” he added.
You say we are not a superpower? My dear, wemay not be but we are strategically located that countries like China and the US wouldl like to have a piece of us. Yes, Ms. Isidro. We have what many want except that we have been so effing loyal to the US even if it treats us badly in many agreements. Its about time we have to tell the US to treat us right since there are others ready and willing to take its place.
So before you even try ranting, read first. Okay.
Netizens defended Agot's remarks on Contreras' FB account wher they said he insulted the actress who was just expressing herself. The professor was unfazed.
