What do you think to the president of the Philippines?

[bitcoinboy12]

Did the Philippines kept any ancestral tradition from before the colonization and the imposition of western dogma? I see that the Catholic Church is very strong and impose its view on what an individual can put in his body or not...

Philippines is the Christian equivalent of Saudi Arabia. The Catholic church is dictating all the government policies. They have even banned the government from popularizing family planning. The church want to increase the population to unsustainable levels, so that the majority of the people remain in abject poverty. This makes them more vulnerable to religious brainwashing.

Right now there are dozens of civilian vigilante killings all over the country. And what's tragic is some of these guys are just suspects of drug pushing. Were there any way that they were given a fair trial.

it is ambitious to some. That name-calling Americans, then apologizes.

[Xester]

Just yesterday when he apologizes and asking for another 6 months to extend the time frame he have set to eradicate the illegal drugs in the Philippines.  He stated that he have no idea that illegal drugs in the Philippines is such huge and worst.  He did not know it until he became the President of the Philippines.  As a citizen of this country, I may say that his efforts is truly amazing.  Before, those who were killed were the students, the grandmothers, the babies, the call center agents, the innocents.  Now it is safer since those who were killed were the criminals.  He did many things within a short period of time.  Not only drugs but all his people are really working.  I love our President.  May God bless him and protect from any danger.

Watched that news.  Maybe he should not talk too much.  I like the way he is sincere with his goals but sometimes he talked something and then will withdraw after a day.  Like the instance about the UN that the Philippines could withdraw and then the next day he would ask for apology.  I like his ways just maybe he should think before he opens his mouth.  Anyways, I feel safer now that President Duterte's war on drugs really make our streets a little more safer than before.

Similar tactics were tried in the past, in various countries. None of them were successful. As long as the demand is there, people will continue to sell drugs in the street. You need to treat the disease and not the symptom. The root cause of the drug menace in Philippines is poverty, scarcity of painkillers.etc. And the real reason for this abject poverty is the lack of family planning. Instead of looking after the real issues, Duterte is trying to increase his approval rating by going after easy targets.

Mr. President Rodrigo Duterte does he really do his job to stop drugs within 3 to 6 months?.What do you think?

bloody governor (in the right way) but.. that better than corrupt, less action government..

[Cloverdale]

He have guts but he lacks respect for people. He is indeed wise but it isn't enough.

[zero1ten]

He is making the Philippines closer to isolation from western countries. He can really be an authoritarian president by the way he projects himself as of the moment and it's really disheartening to see the country on that direction after years of recovering from being the so called "Sick man of Asia" and just by an instant reverting back to it.

President Duterte is doing an amazing job he really fights against corruption , criminality etc. He is doing what he had said before when he was just going to be on the position bad thing too many people from the inside and outside the country are criticizing his administration because of the issue of extrajudicial killing but it is not going to be a problem for him .

I support the president in the war againts illegal drugs but he must plan carefully what he will do in other country that will invest in the Philippines. He just want war to the other country not just the drugs.

Yes, what he said before as he runs as president candidate and what are he was doing right now has been said before and many supporters of him agreed on this and wants to make it happen .
Other countries critisize duterte with extra judicial killings well that was not a big deal .what he do is to bring back and make a better philippines in his term whatever happens on him he is ready . I like the way he thinks and acts he is such a genius ,others were planning  but then duterte is taking action .
Duterte is peoples president he is the bravest president and making his history to the people in philippines .

[European Central Bank]

it's pretty funny listrning to a president speak his mind for once.

as for the drugs thing, he could continue the endless cycle of violence which is what he's doing now, or he could show some real backbone and forward thinking and experiment with treating it as a medical problem and decriminalzing it.

[BADecker]

He is in a good place right where he is. Let him stay over there.

[shapeshiftscam]

I heard he has killed many drug dealers, i don't use drugs, i support him, drugs are hazardous to the world

You are absolutely right about drugs. So, let's get rid of the medical.

lol, i didn't refer to medicine, i refer to heroin, cocain, ice...

The problem with drugs is...

Nobody sells drugs... drugs sell themselves

You cannot stop drugs by killing the dealers... there will always be a new person to take their place... always

The only way to stop drugs is to stop people from wanting drugs... that's the only way

its the illegal drugs that were talking. if the people are now educated and knew taht they could be killed with just the possession of these stuff, they'd rather not get involved to drugs. Roman catholics don't want death penalty, they'd kill the proposal of death penalty thru marching on streets and so he better just kill these drug related individuals without trail then.   

illegal drugs may not have much demands in the country in the next few months.

Are you planning on prosecuting the users? (the demand).  Going after the supply didn't work in any country of the world. We have a billion dollar war on drugs here, both the supply and demand is prosecuted but the market still exists.

drugs already affected many countries but the Pres, of the Phil wanted to make some changes i know more pilipino voted him believing that he can make the change so he's starting with drugs free phil hearing many drug related cases time and time again but whats the impact those drug pushers and users are really been aware that their life is in danger i completely supporting the Digong campaign because he is true to his words.

President Duterte had once done this on the city of Davao and made Davao one of the safest City in the world. In fact Unicef recognizes it.  This was years ago and during that time, there was bloodbath as well. so this has to happen to gain peace in the end.
