Osmeña on Friday said he is still "recovering" from President Rodrigo Duterte's public criticism, as he remarked that the Chief Executive "hits harder" than world boxing champion Sen. Manny Pacquiao. "I'm staying away from media to assess the situation and recover from the blow of Duterte. He hits harder than Manny Pacquiao," Osmeña said in a statement. Duterte had on Thursday slammed Osmeña for allegedly being arrogant, accusing the local chief executive of suffering from “hubris.” “Huwag mo akong loko-lokohin ha? Kasi hindi ako Cebuano na puwede mong tapak-tapakan… Kung makapagsalita akala mo kung sino, ‘Huwag pakialaman ang Cebu kasi kaya namin ‘to.’ Who are you to say that? It’s as if you own Cebu. By what right? Just because you were a former president’s son or grandson?” the President said. (Don't fool me because I am not a Cebuano that you can just step on. You speak like you are someone, "Don't … [Read more...] about Duterte ‘hits harder than Manny Pacquiao,’ says Cebu mayor
