Re: What do you think to the president of the Philippines?

Duterte is currently leading the time poll. http://time.com/4707432/2017-time-100-poll-results/

The lead will change, as time progresses. And last time, it was the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who won the polls. Donald Trump came second. It is not surprising. All these leaders (Duterte, Putin, Modi, Trump.etc) have been vilified by the mainstream media, and this has provoked a backlash from the normal people.

Duterte= is killing citizens to fulfill campaign promise (crackdown on drugs)

Modi= is starving citizens to fulfill campaign promise (crackdown on black money)

Trump= is dividing citizens to fulfill campaign promises (crackdown of immigration)

Putin= Putin.

See a pattern? These seem like leaders obsessed with their own rhetoric, at the detriment of the citizens.

I disagree with you on all these. Duterte is fulfilling his promises. I don't support the mass-murder of so many people. But there was hardly any other option. Modi stamped out black money through his demonetization exercise. Opinion polls suggest that more than 80% of the Indians supported this measure.

I agree with Sithara. Not everything is the president's fault also, there are just some things that he says that makes it hard to understand, but if you carefully think about what he says, it makes sense. There is a survey that people started to feel safer on the streets compared to the last administration, which is an achievement so it's cool.

At least Duterte has the balls to to fulfill what he has promise, unlike other Presidents, who once get elected forgot all his campaign promises. He just inherited the past administrations problems and now trying to fix things which he didn't started at the first place. But being the President now, he has nothing to do but try to straighten things up. For him, there is a difference between killing an innocent person and killing a criminal. We may or may not agree with him, but I believe that those who are guilty should be punished, however, due process has to be observed. We need to live in a world governed by law.
