Houston I think we have a developing problem in SE Asia.
Well y'all know AnonyMint was residing in Davao City whilst Duterte was the
"Dirty Harry" style mayor there. If you thought AM's mouth was foul, here is Philippines president-elect Duterte telling the UN chief Moon to fuck off:
Duterte on Saturday also lambasted a local journalist, accusing him of “impertinence” when he questioned him about his health, asking to see his medical certificate.
“The son of a bitch . What if I asked him, ‘How’s the vagina of your wife? Is it smelly or not smelly?’,” said Duterte.
The journalist, who was named by Duterte, later said the question had been asked by another reporter.
Also last week Duterte launched a profanity-laced tirade against the UN.
“Fuck you UN, you can’t even solve the Middle East carnage… couldn’t even lift a finger in Africa… shut up all of you.”
He made the comments as he expressed irritation at criticism voiced by foreign and local media groups over his remarks about killing journalists.
Ban’s comments were the most critical from any world leader about Duterte since he won the election. He is due to be sworn into office on June 30.
CEBU CITY, Philippines—Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte described the United Nations as “hypocrites” for its anti-coal energy stand supposedly without doing anything to sanction violators.
“UN is such a hypocrite for not enforcing sanctions on violators,” Duterte said.
Duterte was asked during the second presidential debate in University of the Philippines Cebu regarding his stand on the growing coal dependence in the Philippines while the country has signed a commitment with UN not to use coal-fire plants.
“We need to industrialize. We need energy to develop,” Duterte said.
The tough-talking local executive described the United Nations as hypocrites.
“The United Nations and industrial countries are hypocrites,” he said.
“Why are they coming here, telling us what to do when we are a developing country? We need energy,” he added.
He cited the Philippines’ contribution to carbon footprint.
“We only contribute .0 something percent on carbon footprint,” he said.
Note China's President has praised Durterte's stated inclination to stop the UN petition to assertion sovereignty over the disputed oceam area, stop relying on the USA, stop buying expensive fighter jets and instead partner with the Chinese on the development of the Philippine Sea which China claims as the China Sea. In other words, he'd rather be a pawn of China than of the UN and the USA. Oh my.
I have personally seen dead boys along the side of the road that had been shot. I also know they do give a warning to these boys who are doing illegal activities, and many of them fled to Davao to other towns. I also know for example that one of the ladies who worked at my gym was mugged and killed by druggies in an alleyway on the way to work one morning. Durterte had him hunted down and put his dead body at the same spot where he had killed the lady and with a note to the effect that the same fate would beset all those who do crime.
When I first arrived in Davao in the mid-1990s, I was told he would bring them up in a helicopter and drop them.
In 2003, I met a man who claimed to be a member of the DDS. He showed me his gun. I can't remember who is. I just remember where I met him. He liked me and we were all smiles. He said if I had any trouble, to come find him. He said the DDS existed to protect the city from criminals. He certainly didn't seem like a sociopath to me.
And of course mistakes are impossible to avoid:
Human Rights Watch also reported on the case of 20-year-old Jaypee Larosa who was walking to a nearby Internet Café a block from his home when he was shot by three men in dark jackets who were riding a motorcycle. Witnesses reported that after they shot him, one of the men removed the baseball cap Larosa was wearing and said, “Son of a bitch, this is not the one,” before leaving the scene.
