The Inquirer sought the opinion of Gene Segarra Navera, a Singapore-based rhetoric expert, on the President’s first 100 days in terms of language and messaging. It invites a particular way of thinking,” Navera said. ADVERTISEMENT“I’m afraid his rhetoric is the kind that encourages a society of bullies instead of a society that empathizes. There is no doubt that he has huge public support; people supportive of his administration seem to choose to overlook his brutish rhetoric. But as pointed out by a lot of people, his kind of rhetoric is only applicable to the election campaign season,” Navera said.
