A. Directions: View on Youtube the speech of President Rodrigo Duterte at the

Philippine China Trade and Investment Forum Beijing, China, on October 20, 2016.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kewxFaNifs. Based on the video of President

Duterte, do you think the five principles of effective oral communication were

followed? Which ones were followed? Which ones were not? Why or why not? (Source:

Madrunio, M., & Martin, I., 2018).

__After watching the speech of President Rodrigo Duterte, I think some principles of effective oral
communication were not followed.The principles that were followed is the completeness of messages
delivered.President Digong shared a detailed information of how he decided to separate with
America and instead coincide with China..But,he was not able to follow the four principles,he is not
concise and he added topics that are far out from his main objective.It makes it unclear for the
listeners what his objective is.He also stutters and uses Bisaya and Tagalog words that Chinese
people and other listeners can'tunderstand.He does not provide specific time that indicates the
significant events that he mentioned on his speech .
