president duterde of philippines

[Sithara007]

So think of all Russian because according to official propaganda Duterte friend of Russia. For me this is a very important signal. Russia is friends with dictators. This means that when Duterte ever in the Philippines will not be a good life. Themselves to blame. Who voted for him?

The United States remains the major ally of the Philippines. Russia has improved its ties with the Philippines ever since Duterte became the president, but it remains behind the US as far as importance is concerned.

Many filipino's believes that change is coming in the Philippines because of Duterte. Duterte is known for his war on drugs. He asked the pnp to kill all people that will catch because of drugs. And as of now, we can all say that change already come because in the Philippines, some crimes is been resolved.

Killing 5,000+ individuals may be recognized as a war crime in most of the nations, but I am willing to support Duterte in this case. The drug dealers were intimidating the witnesses, and even if they were detained, they would be out in a few days. So the only viable option to reduce the drug-related crime was to exterminate them. But the deaths of the bystanders must be condemned.

the problem right now in mindanao is not only at marawi...
It has been infested with illegal doers for years...
The president might have just taken the opportunity to declare martial in entire mindanao to end all the criminal acts there...
kudos to the president....

[Chikitita2004]

For me, whatever the president have decided i will support. Because First, majority of the people voted for him so we need to trust him in what he's doing. Secondly, about the casualties. Yes it is horrifying, but we wouldn't know what would it also be with out the martial law. Thirdly, wherever there is war, loss is always unavoidable may it be human lives or properties. Almost all of us grieve for those soldiers who have given their lives, but this thing is bound to happen. In war, soldiers are the first one who risk their lives.

As it will take a long time to recover a country which is currently hit by a drug crisis and war, foreign countries should also help the Philippines, in handling left-wing separatist troops there

I believe it is, because if martial law is not declared in marawi city then there are chances that maute group will be more powerful and soon will envade the whole philippines. Pres. duterte just choose the future not the current situation.

Who said they were drug dealers? Was there a trial to prove it?

[Footmanred]

Till now more than 600 people have been killed in the fighting and there is no end to this crisis in sight. So martial law was justified and president Duterte did the right thing by imposing it in parts of Mindanao.

Is there a question in other: Can it was needed before to enter a martial law? Very much lost people that superfluous confirmation. We will look, it will help or no.

Declaring the martial law helps the army in a big way, and it keeps out these pesky human rights organizations, who are only concerned about the human rights of the terrorists. I haven't see too many complaining about the martial law apart from a few terrorist sympathizers.

Lol is this still an issue until now? Weve already saw the results. Even if we cant deny the fact that there were a lot of person eho dies during the war but that is really the essence of war right? And if our president did not do it there would be more people whos going to die

Yeah its all over the news and people's views vary. If you think about it, duterte's approach is like those of leaders of old who gets respect because they're ruthless if they have to. Though many cringe at the many lives lost, more lives are lost under the spotlight everyday because of drugs. In a country like a philippines, a leader like duterte is necessary

You are getting the whole context wrongfully guys. Those who are killed are not intended since they also fought back with guns hence the police officers needed to protect themselves also hence they responded a fire of gun also. Those who surrendered peacefully are offered drug rehabilitation and since there are a lot who surrendered, the president had ordered to build more facilitites for them.

Regarding the becoming of good ties with Russia, it doesn't reflect the government at all as how will they run the country since Philippines and Russia are two different countries with own set of of laws and a leader with different perspectives.

[jakezyrus00]

Who said martial law will be re-declare ? Come on guys! Does the newly elected president is planning to stay for next 20 years in malacanang palace? Rule the country with iron hands, monopolise and control all and everyone including the press to gain what he wish and wanted to get ? If his idol is Apo the iron man then martial law is good choice but it does not seem he is one. However, bravo to our policemen chasing those drug addicts, pushers and manufacturers! What about policemen and public servants in illigal drugs and drug related business ? Not all but those public servants profiting and enjoying illigal drugs in the past and present? Who will reward people that can catch those lucky menace ? But first who will catch person in authorities like policemen? Drug test must be mandatory to all policemen, armed forces and public servants, now ! Otherwise our dear country will never be safe. GOD BLESS OUR DEAR PHILIPPINES.

is martial law really the only option of president duterte in marawi city PHILIPPINES?

Looks like it. Well it's kinda solving the situation right now. I think the president knows what he's doing that's why he declared it. And the Martial Law that is happening in Marawi isn't the same as what happen when Marcos declared martial law.

There are a lot of potential issues in the ties between Russia and the Philippines. If a war breaks out between China and the Philippines, how will Russia react? Remember the 1962 Sino-Indian war? Russia refused to support India, despite India being a strong ally of that country. In the end, it was the Americans who provided India with the much needed military support.

is martial law really the only option of president duterte in marawi city PHILIPPINES?

I think so. It was the only option and the best way for the president to make marawi under control. It would be hard for the military to go thru the war if they dont have fully access on the city and if civilians will not follow the military's order they might get into trouble.

President duterte is a leader that will not leave his country without doing something that can help the country. He declared martial law in mindanao because he think first the safety of his people who lives there. Martial law is the one that will help to bring back the mindanao from its original states. Duterte is studying his actions first before implementing it to his nation.

is martial law really the only option of president duterte in marawi city PHILIPPINES?

I think it's the right move, the situation in Marawi city is hard to control since the terrorist group that is controlling the city now is some how organized. It's best if the president will declare martial law in this city. I think it would help the people of Marawi city. And, it would be easier for the military to carry out their plans.

I still can't understand why people gets so scared when we do talk about martial law. Yes it is true that this was being abused before but marcos and duterte are obviously different. Marcos doesn't care so much about the citizen but still he is a good leader but duterte doesn't care about himself too much money is not an issue for him what is more important for him his the good of his people and that makes the difference that the people in the philippines should have to understand.

[eagleman]

Martial law in the Mindanao is helpful for the people who are affected by the war.
And I hope that DuterDE will implement this soon in the whole country so that corrupt and drug cartels will be destroyed.

[daniel08]

yes its the only way why president rodrigo duterte declares martial law in marawi and in all mindanao region , is to stop the terrorism and to protect all the innocents people of all mindanao , but why more people is scared when the president declares it , and why most of all those people are not in mindanao but rather than they are all from luzon area.
