Senator Gordon said that he’s honored to be attacked for doing his job both at the Philippine Red Cross and at the Senate.
On Friday, Senator Richard Gordon said that he’s honored to be attacked for doing his job both at the Philippine Red Cross and at the Senate.
When asked for his comment on President Duterte’s remarks, Senator Gordon, who attended the 3rd General Membership Meeting of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that it’s an honor for him to be attacked for doing his job in the Philippine Red Cross and in the upper chamber.
Senator Gordon also said that he “stands behind” his record and the “good work” that he and the Philippine Red Cross have done for the Philippines.
“You know I’ve not even announced anything yet. I may not even run for the Senate anymore. I may not run for president or vice president or even run for mayor. Why am I being tainted?” Gordon said.
Senator Gordon’s comment came after President Rodrigo Duterte accused him of using the Philippine Red Cross as a “milking cow”.

The senator also tagged President Duterte’s recent verbal attack as “tragic” and said that he has not even announced his election plans yet.
According to Senator Gordon, it’s an attempt by President Duterte to try and distract the people once again. Furthermore, Senator Gordon said that he wasn’t “flattered” that the President was giving him attention.
“I should not be flattered, I can carry my own load. Di naman ako gano’n e. Ang pakiusap ko lang Mr. President, wag mo kong awayin para di kami makapag-focus dun sa dapat naming paghandaan at para mahuli natin yung talagang nangungulimbat. Sabi niyo bawal ang korapsyon sa inyo,” Senator Gordon said.
Senator Gordon, the chairman of the Senate blue ribbon committee, reiterated his call for President Duterte to direct his subordinates to answer the issues hounding the national government’s procurement of overpriced medical supplies.
