US Actor Steven Seagal To President Duterte: He’s A Good President, Makes PH Safe
Steven Seagal, America’s famous actor, film producer and
martial arts expert, said Tuesday, October 10, that President Rodrigo Duterte
is a good president and is instrumental in making the Philippines a safer place
to live in.
In a press conference at The Peninsula Hotel in Makati City,
Seagal said that the country is now safer under President Duterte’s leadership.
Seagal is in the country to make a series of movies on
crimes, drugs, and corruption with local actors.
Asked if he feels safe in the country amid the relentless
and massive campaign by the government against illegal drugs, Seagal said that he feels the Philippines is not a
dangerous place, but is now more safe.
He cited President Duterte for his initiatives in protecting
the Filipino people.
He also cited the Filipino people for their hospitality,
humor and friendliness, and this is why he chose to make a series of movies
here.
Seagal is in the country for the production of the TV series
“General Commander.”
This is the third time the action star visited the
Philippines.
It is said that “General Commander” will tackle corruption,
crime and drugs.
The actor shared he is interested in getting Filipino cast
members.
Seagal is being assisted by his close friend, former Ilocos
Sur governor Chavit Singson who is now the national president of the Philippine
Councilors’ League, in filming the movies in various parts of the country.
Singson revealed that the American actor will also make
movies in the historic city of Vigan and neighboring areas.
Seagal admitted that he is a “big fan” of President Duterte.
“I’m a big fan of the government, and I think President Duterte
is a very good president and he has been instrumental in making the Philippines
an up and coming place,” he said in an interview.
Both President Duterte and Seagal are big fans of President
Vladimir Putin.
Seagal, an environmentalist and animal rights activists
known for his outspoken political views, was given a Russian citizenship last
year for expressing support for the policies of Russia.
Seagal is best known for a string of blockbuster action
movies from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.
These include “Above The Law,” “Hard To Kill,” “Marked For Death,” “Out For Justice,” “Under Siege,” and “On Deadly Ground.”
