PARAGRAPH BY NARRATION:
The Ice Prince
There
was an aloof boy who seldom talks to other people and loved to be alone. He
did not socialize with others so he did not have many friends. He was even
referred to as the “Ice Prince “.
One day,
the Ice Prince was staring in space lost in the song he was listening on his
earphones when a girl passed in front of him. He did not know why, but this girl
caught his eyes. Her smile was so bright she could light up the whole place.
The Ice Prince found himself admiring the most beautiful he had seen. The girl
sat on a chair across him and he noticed that the girl was wearing earphones
too.
The Ice
Prince was staring intently to the girl that when she mouthed the lyrics of the
song she was listening into he realized both of them were listening to the same
song. The girl happened to catch the Ice Prince looking at her and she smiled.
The Ice Prince felt something inside him melted and before he knew what he was
doing, he showed his wonderful smile to the world for the very first time.
Could it
be that the Ice Prince finally found his Ice Princess?
PARAGRAPH BY DESCRIPTION:
The Man with the Iron Fist
Rody Roa Duterte,
famously known with his nickname “Digong”, is a rebellious son and a prankster
brother. His rebellious nature ripened when he reached his teen
years, but after the death of his father, he took things very seriously
including his studies.Like his father, Rody would become a
"career-oriented" government official. Rody’s leadership style
and soft heart for the masses came from his father while his fighting spirit
came from his mother who really shaped him to be the feisty character and
go-getter that he is now.
Rody
is a bull-headed leader and very sure of himself. He is an impatient man who
wants high-impact results. With him, everything is urgent. He does things his
way and has committed what would normally be considered political suicide with
his do-it-or-die attitude. Zero tolerance for criminals is his ultimate policy
for which he earned the name “The Punisher”. He was particularly provoked by
injustice or arrogance. He wants things felt and experienced by the masses. He is equally strict with his own family members as
he is with other troublemakers.
He is skilled at evading
questions he deems sensitive. He knows all about power play and how to use
situations to his advantage. He is a very self-aware man who knows his
weaknesses and is not above asking for help from people smarter than him. He
has a limited circle of multi-disciplinary people that helps him digest issues
like foreign affairs, the economy, and infrastructure.
Beneath his dominant
personality is an excellent committed politician. His determination to get what
he wants extends to matters of the heart. He
is the kind of local government executive who was fond of visiting all the
barangays, casually chatting with residents and grabbing a snack with barangay
officials, just like an ordinary person.He has an easy rapport with people
especially with the police and military. He is a "consultative"
leader that listens to his constituents and creates laws and programs that
address their concerns. More than his tough-talking and feisty ways, it is his
ability to listen to people’s concerns that sets him apart from other
politicians.
He has
been a public official for over 20 years and he has not lost a single election
in his life. He is familiar with the locals and has an easy-going personality
that gave him the edge over his opponents. It’s not doubtful to say his
unconventionality won him the seat in Malacañang as the 16th president of the
Philippines. He has been in politics for many years but he is not a “trapo” or
traditional politician. He speaks candidly without fear of the political
consequences of what he says. He is a problem solver and has a track record of
good governance. He is an achiever and a transformational leader.
He has become a symbol, but
he is every inch as flawed as the next man and he had been very open about it. To his critics, he is a threat to
democracy, a sexist punk, an unholy man, and even a cold-blooded murderer who
disrespects human rights. But to his supporters, he is the promoter for change.
He is the strong leader with a soft heart. He is the ordinary man against the
oligarchs, the crime-fighter, the compassionate dictator and the saviour. There
are several reasons to love or hate this Mayor of Davao City. But
the imposition of strict rules in his jurisdiction undeniably improved
peace and order and public safety.
Duterte
is now 71 years old, making him the oldest president this country has ever had.
This understandably frustrates those who expect a leader to bend their will.
But it’s this same inflexibility that attracts believers who want a leader who
will do everything he can to keep his promises. And what are these promises?
Suppression of crime, drugs, and corruption in 3 to 6 months; a more prosperous
Mindanao; peace with communist and Moro rebels, a federal system of government
for the country; and much more.
In the next six years, who
will Duterte prove right? Will it be his critics or his supporters? Perhaps
he will go unpredictable and surprise everyone. Something for us to look forward to.
