Criminals should not be placed in jail. They should be placed in coffins.
He must be a Democrat
I’m sure my Filipina wife will support this. She didn’t like Duterte before the 2016 election, but has been a strong supporter of him since then.
Last December we visited the in-laws in the Philippines. In the small Ozamiz City airport, they keep everyone in one room as they wait for their flights. In the front of the room, we saw a life-sized cardboard cutout of the president; I’m sure that was to make sure we all behaved!
Crime is down and Duterte is starting to fire crooked cops etc. Politicians are next.
Backstory is that the CIA candidates lost when Duterte entered the race. I say CIA but its also the internationalist elites who run NGOs and the Catholic intellectuals here...
And the source, Rappler, is funded by non Philippine groups believed to be CIA fronts...the same groups who funded the protests etc that took out a pro Russian president in the Ukraine and put in the corrupt guy involved with bribing Biden etc (not the one just elected).
Except the Communist Chinese fentanyl and Shabu (Meth) suppliers, dealers and drug pushers, of course. And ALL the drugs there come from the ChiComs.
Duterte has pretty much ordered the PNP to do a catch-and-release of Communist Chinese.
There is more to the story. In 2017, I remember there was an issue between the Negros Oriental Province (where Bacolod is) and Duterte about losing a separate Negros Island region and being forced to return to Region VI. It’s like West Virginia being ordered back into Virginia
