NAGPAABOT ng mainit na pagbati si Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy sa kaniyang matalik na kaibigan na si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte sa ika-78 kaarawan nito.
Ayon sa butihing Pastor, naging regalo sa Pilipinas at sa mga Pilipino si dating Pangulong Duterte dahil naging matagumpay at maayos muli ang bansa sa ilalim ng pamumuno nito.
“To my very good friend, our former President Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte, on your 78th birthday mayor, the Filipino people love you as we love you here in the Kingdom and always pray for you that the Father may give you a long, long life, of course your life is a blessing to the Filipino people and to me personally you are my hero.”
“Your leadership from the time you were mayor and up to the pinnacle of success of being a President, you’ve done what others have not done, you have made the Philippines proud again and may I say the Philippines was made great again under your leadership and if there’s something that the Filipino people and myself particularly won’t forget, it’s your brand of leadership, your compassion to the people and you stand for the Filipino in the face of adversity, in the face of other people who tried to look down at us,” pagbati ni Pastor Apollo.
Dagdag pa ng butihing Pastor, hindi umano malilimutan ang mga legasiya sa pamumuno nito lalo na sa mga panahon na mayroong mga sumusubok na sirain ang pagkakaisa ng bansa.
Isang araw umano ay hihirangin din si dating Pangulong Duterte bilang bayani sa modernong kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.
“We stood tall, stood strong and we stood very, very–that is one thing that your leadership has done. That is being forever kept in our hearts and our minds.”
“We hope in your special day, you will always remember that God has given you as a blessing to all of us and to the Philippines.”
“You are my personal hero and you we’re here many of us, for what you have done has never been done in the Philippines and it will never, never be forgotten.”
“Once again Mayor, Happy happy birthday and may you continue to be a blessing to the Filipino nation and our friendship as stood the best of time and will continue to be a strong as ever before.”
“One day, a Filipino nation will really recognize you as a Philippine hero in our modern Philippine history.”
“Once again Mayor, may God’s blessing, long life, health, prosperity for you and your family and Our Father Almighty our Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly. Amen and amen.”
Happy Birthday Mayor,” dagdag na pagbati ni Pastor Apollo.
