Duterte humingi ng paumanhin sa foreign delegates ng SEA Games na nakaranas ng aberya
Personal na humingi ng paumanhin si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa mga delegado ng 2019 Southeast Asian Games na nakaranas ng problema pagdating sa bansa.
Sa exclusive interview ng CNN Philippines sa pangulo, sinabi nito na hindi masaya ang gobyerno sa naging mga kapalpakan at ipinag-utos niya na mismo ang imbestigasyon.
“What happened is I’m sorry. But I’m really apologizing for the country but then again I said they should know while they are still here that government is not happy with it and that their President, the President of the country where they are playing has ordered an investigation,” ani Duterte.
Hindi rin anya dapat maliitin ang naranasan ng foreign delegates dahil sakaling makauwi sila sa kani-kanilang mga bansa ay pagtsitsismisan ang naturang mga isyu.
“That at least would assuage a little bit of their sama ng loob. Back home, they will be talking about it. So do not treat it as a kind of a matter that should be not a cause for concern. It does. It would cause us because as I said when they go back, they would start to talk about it,” ayon sa pangulo.
“You cannot just cast away all those, the discomfort, the suffering of the athletes sa–sleeping on the floors, waiting for so many hours. Getting hungry… this might really be a small matter but you just cannot flick your fingers, ‘Ah maliit yan’” dagdag ni Duterte.
Ayon sa pangulo ‘big deal’ o isyu ang mga aberya para sa mga bansang kalahok sa SEA Games.
“To the countries that sent them here, it’s a big deal,” giit ng pangulo.
Kumbinsido ang pangulo na hindi naman intensyonal ang mga problema sa SEA Games pero nais niyang malaman kung ano ang naging mali sa pag-organisa rito.
Dagdag pa ni Duterte, kailangang ‘structural’ ang organizers ng malalaking events tulad ng SEA Games kaya’t nasabi niyang mas maigi kung militar na ang hahawak nito sa susunod.
“Alam mo kasi, when you are running a big event, you have to be structural. And that is why I said it could have been better run by the military,” ani Duterte.
