Senator Dick Gordon refuses to take any smack even from President Rodrigo Duterte who recently called him a “smart ass who walks like a penguin”, making fun of him.

“Kailangan marunong ka mag-forgive at forget, ‘di naman ako pwedeng itulak-tulak, ‘di naman ako papayag na binubully lang tayo,” Gordon said in an interview, as reported by Politiko

Despite the comment from the President, Gordon stood by his criticism against appointment of too many ex-generals in the Cabinet and administration.

“Wala namang isyu ng bullying dyan di naman ako mapipigilan ng Pangulo kung sabihin nagii­ngat lang ako para sa ‘yo baka mamaya ‘yung mga inaappoint mo hindi gusto ng tao. Masama ba yun? 

Dapat tangkilikin nga nya ‘yun na may kaibigan siyang ganun,” explains Gordon

“Pero ‘wag naman tayo ganyan palagi, hindi naman maganda na Presidente ka, mang-iinsulto ka palagi. Marami tayo problema ngayon, may dengue tayo, may WPS (West Philippine Sea) pa. Ha­yaan na lang niya si Dick Gordon na malaki ang tiyan, ‘yung asawa ko inaalagaan n’ya yun,” the senator stressed

Gordon said that he still considered President Duterte a friend despite his punch lines against him.

“Sino bang ayaw maging kaibigan si presidente lalo na’t marami kayong napagdaanan bilang mayor?­ Okay lang ako doon, ‘di naman ako napipikon doon.

"Ganyan naman talaga si Presidente, ganyan naman talaga ang demokrasya, may mga naninira. Kailan niyo ba ako nakitang naninira?” he added
