Not surprising to me. Deterte seems like sort of a Filipino version of Trump. Not necessarily a complete ally or clone, but he is to the Philippines what Trump is to the U.S.

“Go, better known as Bong Go,”

Can’t make it up.

The Philippines is plagued with meth addiction. Seriously, at least 10% of all men are addicted to the drug. Duarte is fighting to remove this menace, and while his tactics haven’t always been kind, he is doing what he can.

Bong Go

Won Hung Lo

Where will it all end?

The buck stops on Trump’s desk.

I have a feeling we will be re-opening Clarke.

I love Duterte’s policy on drug dealers. When dealers are willing to sell their mothers to unleash chemical warfare on the population, as far as I’m concerned, they are war criminals. It is called a war on drugs is it not!

“Washington’s utter failure to uphold its obligations to a longtime, pivotal ally during one of its most humiliating crises has no doubt contributed to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s low opinion of American security guarantees — and his recent move toward a China alliance,” they wrote.

Some experts, however, say Duterte’s appointment of special envoys to Washington suggest that despite his hostility, he intends to keep good ties.

Among those envoys is multi-millionaire real estate tycoon Jose Antonio, who bought the rights to name a new office tower in Manila “Trump Towers”.


Planet Trump :)

The head of the Davao Death squad is a hero here?

Comparing him to Trump?

You want Trump to start murdering American citizens if he suspects them of using drugs?

I thought we’re on the team that likes the Constitution.
