The move of the Duterte administration to suspend loans and financial grants from states who called for a probe into the Philippines' drug war was only done out of 'outrage,' Malacañang admitted Thursday.

"That was made because of what these countries did when they passed a resolution condemning the war on drugs in this country. It was more of an outrage reaction," Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a press briefing.Malacañang issued Wednesdaywhich ordered all department secretaries, and heads of agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations and state financial institutions to resume talks for signing loan and grant agreements.

The memorandum, signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea"by order of the President" is"effective immediately."the United States Embassy, through the US Agency for International Development, donated $37 million to the Philippines,There were 24 other countries who received this grant, but Panelo said he will verify whether this was what triggered the Duterte administration to finally resume accepting aid from other countries.

calling for an investigation into the Philippines' drug war. On August 27, 2019, Malacañang issued an order stopping all negotiations for aid from Iceland and the 17 other states supportive of the UN probe. These countries are Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Fiji, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, UK, and Uruguay. Fourteen other nations, including the Philippines and China, voted against the conduct of a probe. The remaining 15 abstained.

Local and international human rights groups claimed that there were more than 20,000 extrajudicial killings under the admnistration's anti-narcotics campaign, something which the Duterte government has repeatedly denied.

Duterte, PLEASE LANG, bumalik na kayo sa Davao. Inyung-inyo na. Pero stap na sa pagbaboy sa Pinas. Kung panget ka, wag mo kami idamay.

Ayy always sugar coating the words of the president. You know its understandable. Its okey, we get it, that digong is really incompetent umpisa pa lang...pagtakpan pa, suuss. 'done out of outrage' kuno. Zero yagballs kamo pa ah.

Tsk tsk tsk. Having an unstable president is more scary than any corrupt politicians. As the saying goes, manakawan ka na, huwag lang masunugan. Duterte is burning our country with his carelessness and incompetence.

Paki sabi sa Panggulo ng Pilipinas, he can't run a country on 'rage'. He's like that pilot who took down an entire plane because of rage. Huwag niya tayong ipahamak sa topak niya.

tell us something we don't know.

Less Drugs Less Mafia ...

Pano ka makakapag-isip ng maayos kung puro sa emosyon based ang mga desisyon --kundi sobrang galit at pag-alipusta, sobrang pagtingin at pagtitiwala naman?

37M DOLLARS! USAID pa lang. Sayang nga naman ang opportunity, kaya pina-resume ang loans and grants agreement. The hyenas must already be salivating. Classic example of “sinuka na, kinain pa”. I hope USAID will put in measures to make sure the money will be used as intended.

LOL. Hindi kasi natupad ang promised loans from China kaya ayan. Lunok na lang ng pride. KuninMoNaODios

Aso. Kain. Suka. Kain suka.

turn around again hahahaha

Stupidity by any other name.

Ang kakapal ng mukha ng gobyernong to agot_isidro TrillanesSonny

Nakakahiya sana me natitira pang mukhang iharap sa madla at sa mga inuutangang bansa😂😂😅 ang kapal kapal nila uy😅😅😂

DepartmentOfClarification Outrage? So di talaga pinagisipan. Tsk. paulsalarm

Ang mga bobong gobyernong nagigipit, sa kapal ng mukha kumakapit

Out of outrage? He is our president for Christ's sake. He can't make decisions out of pure emotions. What the f$ck.

So decisions for the future of the Philippines and Filipino people are now made because of 'outrage' of emotions... 👏👏👏

Outrage? Come on Panelo. As if we are not awarw that your administration is 'balimbing'. Walang paninindigan. Walang isang salita.

Wait sooooo hindi pala natin kaya magging sovereign nation mga ka-DeeDeeEsss? Delawan pala itong si Panelo eh! Hahaha Dracarys!

'Out of outrage' amputa! Yan din karakter na hanap nya para sa successor nya..May tililing din..

Gipit na din kasi ang China kaya ok na ang ibang grants and loans galing sa iba pang bansa.

Mental health problems?

yes, we know the admin is shallow; just like vfa & other issues.

That's because it seems China isn't so keen in lending Du30 money. What's the term? Full 180' 😡

Imee: We voted our conscience on Senate resolution to SCThere were no calls from Malacañang or political parties for the seven pro-Duterte senators to abstain from voting on a Senate resolution asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether Senate concurrence is required for the abrogation of a treaty that it concurred in. Conscience? No Marcos has one of those. Magnificent 7? Who labelled them that? Conscience ka jan. La ka naman nun 🥴
