Gets it wrong of course.
Duterte has a lot of crooked politicians quaking in their shoes.
Yeah, he’s got them quaking ... with laughter.

Duterte plans to unilaterally pardon a predecessor, Arroyo, who is widely acknoledged to have been arguably even more corrupt than Marcos.
Interestingly enough, Duterte’s former running mate who lost his own bid for the vice-presidency, was one of Arroyo’s fiercest enemies.
And Duterte himself is both a fan of the infamous dictator Marcos, the overlord of corruption during his time who stole billlions from the Philippines before being overthrown in a bloodless revolution, as well as being hounded by accusations of his own ill-gotten wealth (rumored to be due to his close ties with big-time smuggling lords) which he has stubbornly refused to explain at all.

Look, I get why you may like him because he is perceived to help make life in the Philippines for foreigners like yourself safer and more secure, but don’t fall hook-line-and-sinker for his law-and-order hype.
He’s a barbaric two-bit thug who’s every bit as bad as his supposed enemies, even worse, it just so happens that he managed to place a provincial city which was once the equivalent of a “Wild Western town” barely under his control through wheeling and dealing with the various lawless elements.
Even the Nazis kept the trains running on time.
