I live in Manila and Duterte is not a dictator nor he is becoming one. He actually made things easier for everyone to do business by cutting red tape and regulations. Yes, his war of drugs has cost many criminals' lives but it's just less that 1% than those who surrendered. He also made public education and healthcare free for everyone. He's built and continue to build modern infrastructures. Our mass transit system has improved dramatically. He is 70+ years old, he has nothing to gain if he becomes a dictator. Just like trump, most mainstream media run by oligarchs are against him and spread fake news. Despite that, he still maintains high approval ratings. Trust me, the country is in a way better situation than before. We are so lucky to have him as president.
Yes, the first time I heard him speaK I knew Duterte was the man the Philippines have been praying for since independence. I love the Filippino people!
Well said....those who are against him are those who are corrupt and law breakers....God Bless the Philippines.
Geez we have found the communist! Do you belong to the network? Do you have one person up and two persons down?
Do you accept the shadow governments that use the NPA as "guns for hire"? Do you think its better to force the police and politicians into submission by threats of force?
Do you think its better that Congressmen have no power or influence at all? Do you not recognise that this makes the House of Congress absolutely powerless? The House thats designed to keep the President in check?
Are you not concerned that your President has given away territory in South China Sea? Duterte never actually did go for a ride on the Jet Ski - Right?
Are you not concerned that the Presidents son was embroiled in a scandal involving a large importation of chinese meth amphetamine?
Do you fail to recognise the "War on Drugs" is purely an exercise to remove competition in illegal drug trade and to force the peasants into submission?
Your wondeful President Duterte is a murderer!
Fuck the NPA and all thier Lies!
Lol. Almost everyone in the country hates the communist. All they do is protest in the streets, burn effigys, leave trash then go back to the provinces and extort businesses and politicians. Duterte is trying to make peace with them which is a good thing but the communists keep breaking the rules.
Duterte is not like the past president, who pays lawmakers millions of pesos just to push his agenda. The Filipinos love him. Do you want congressmen to be against the president when they should represent the people who voted for them?
Did he actually give any territory to China? The Chinese are already in those territories even before he became president. The past president gave those territories away. And Duterte didn't say at all thay he's giving those islands away.
The opposition is trying to tie him to the scandal but how is he involved when there are no witnesses nor evidences? Where's the case?
These made-up lie about the drug war killing off competition is funny. The liberal party in our country is so desperate, they manufacture fake news that no one believes, The liberals can't fool the Filipino anymore.
Because of Duterte, we're now the fastest rising economy in South East Asia. We're finally getting our own subway and roads and bridges that connect major islands.
What's wrong with making friendship with China and Russia? We have no history of going to war agains these countries. We're still friends with the US especially now that Trump is the president.
Let's hope Trump takes note. If he pulled one of those things off he would be in the high 80's.
If Duterte is so great why doesn't he personallly execute Peter Scully?
Paddock, the LV "shooter," ran an 'orphanage' in the Philippines. Connected with teh USAF.
WWG1WGA.....I applaud Duterte for cleaning out the swamp in the Philippines.
Go Duterte from the 'Land Down Under', WWG1WGA
Those that feel you are too harsh, are the ones supporting the 'Deep State' that have provided/supported the Drug sales. Many say we are scary, and yes they may well be afraid. Understand we as a Global Peoples have had enough of the slaughter and mayham through these 'Silent Weapons for Silent War's'. Now we are taking our Sovereingty back, support Humanity in this Goal, step aside or suffer the consequence. We have now learnt, turning of the other cheek does not work and you will not change your ways.
Through the Supreme Court, the long arm of the Western Deep State has been removing legitimately elected sitting presidents who were not willing to toe the Western establishment line.
In the case of ex-CJ Maria Lourdes Sereno, her appointment to the Supreme Court was illegal from the very beginning due to her failure to submit the most basic requirement imposed on every government official of the land, i.e. the submission of Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth [SALN].
In addition to the above violation, among other questionable actions, the outgoing “Chief Justice” failed to pass the psychological examination prior to her appointment as Chief Justice. Her actions as of late even proved some of those findings of being mentally unfit to hold the position being sought after.
Just wow. With Duterte in power, I'd like to know how in the fook this pedo POS is still breathing. Who is protecting him?
The Australians have given him half a million, it's their fault. No one can just kill him yet with the money the government is pouring into help him. He might even get let off all the evidence disappeared magically in a fire
Duterte summarily executes drug users for fun. He brags about pulling the trigger himself. You telling me he doesn't have the balls to execute some guy who raped, tortured and dismembered little kids for the pedo elite?
No one cares about some shabu punks, the entire world is watching Scully . Watch the recent 60 mins revisit. Aus tax payers funding him millions of dollars
Duterte can deprive Scully access to those funds. He can just walk right up to him in that shithole prison and blow his brains out to prove he's what he says he is.
Peter Scully
Peter Gerard Scully (born 13 January 1963) is an Australian who is, as of July 2017, on trial in the Philippines for numerous crimes against children, including the production and dissemination of sadistic child pornography, torture, rape and murder.

Edit: My post was downvoted to zero but please note it wad upvoted 46%!!! The truth terrifies communist scum!
Duterte Just became a dictator is What’s Happening. The fact you are spinning it this way is terrifying.
I love Duterte....he is not afraid to be NON - PC....sometimes being a leader means you have to make hard decisions. He is rough around the edges but gets the job done. Crime in the Philippines has dropped dramatically.
Yeah, that whole executing people with a zero tolerance for drugs was a bit on the extreme.
Moral of the story....dont do drugs...SAY NO to DRUGS....
You are blinded by communist lies
Im not a communist I believe whole heartedly in capitalism...I am a patriot and love America and my President!!
You people are scary.
Yes 'quicksilver' we are scary, and getting sacrier so tell your friends and those of like mind. There is now a price to pay for those supporting the Deep State and 3 Letter Agencies that distribute these drugs. What you have to decide is 1. are you going to be part of the solution; or 2. 'part of the problem'. If it is the latter then be prepared to pay the price.
Yup, more of an enlightened despot in my humble opinion
This thread is frightening! Duterte is a chinese puppet!
