Duterte often uses hyperbole and sarcasm...The press then takes it out of context to smear him, but locals recognize it as such.

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).

That sounds vaguely *cough* Trump familiar...
