Having lived in the southern PI in the late 70's and early 80's, I know what Davao City was like before Duterte's brand of policing took hold - a dangerous place where you could not walk down the street without almost certainly being robbed. That's from the viewpoint of an American. The daily reality for the Cebuanos and Illongos in that city was much more violent.

As effective as Duterte has been against the drug trade, I really like having some Constitutional protections from 'leaders' - including those who claim they stomp on rights for our benefit.

Mentioning the Constitution on a drug war thread will get you either scorned or ignored.
