    As I recall you've never set foot in Davao, the 4th safest city in the world, so it begs the question about your sources of information.

    Why not focus your posts on those aspects of life here that you actually have personal experience of, that may be much more useful. IMHO
    If you look back through London_Manila's posts you'll soon come to the conclusion that he has rarely got anything positive to say about anything. He has a thing about people in authority, especially those elected by a majority vote
    My guess is he works in the public sector and an active union member

    I am not going to argue the wrongs or rights of the new president. Whatever country you live in you find lots of promises before elections which then get forgotten in the term of power. I want to believe Dutert is going to be the breath of fresh air that the Philippine people need. We will see on that count. But, with all the high people on these lists being brought in on corruption or drug charges, who will replace them? Substituting a corrupt mayor/governor/lawyer for a 'yes' man is also very worrying.

    I have referenced Marcos briefly before, he also started off doing many good things for the 'people', but then it all started to go wrong when he wanted more power. We all know what happened then.

    I love the Philippines, it is where I call home, I love my filipino family and the people I associate with. As a foreigner it is not a case of going elsewhere, I can't, I don't want to, my ties are too strong. As Peter said,, it is too short a time to judge Duterte quite yet, the future will show if he is the right choice for the people.

    My link is just for reference, it is interesting to see similarities in the beginning of the terms of office.

    indeed I agree with you steve and sir peter atleast give the man a time to prove himself, so far he has done good things in a space of a month or two.

    for dictatorship, i personally dont think it will happen because it should have done in davao where he run the city for 2 decades. we didnt feel any of that instead we realised that we should abide by the law and respect eachother.

    like i said in my first comment in this thread, we all have different opinions that we are entitled to but to jump into conclusion straight away and accuse the man with unlawful killings i dont think that is right.

    Steve.. If these high and mighty Mayors/ Governors are drug coddlers/Smugglers then that is a really good clue as to how they financed their election campaigns and paid for peoples votes to become elected..
    Without that kind of money source the elections would become fair OVERNIGHT almost..
    There are very few "Yes men" in power here as they are elected by the people because of MONEY (vote buying)...
    Corruption and drug money is the problem and it looks to me like DU30 is attacking that problem big time..
    Ive never seen any such transparency like it here in over 30 years..
    If I see a news report saying he has done something unspeakable,I will post it here in this thread..
    I agree with your stance on London-Manila...Just another Labour lefty woos IMO..Still quite a few of them left apparently...
    He was probably at Heathrow Airport supporting Black lives matter..
    Need I say more?

    Omg what next i suppose Duterte's farts smell of devon violets also

    Its obvious i am dealing with deluded people here who cant see the wood for the trees

    I actually care about the Philippines and its people and with time i will be proved right that Duterte is a backward step for the Philippines

    I don't blame the pinoys for falling Duterte's bravado and false promises of utopia
    They want change and will vote for anything that changes the status quo

    Westerners living in or outside the Phills really should know better than to support this lunatic or go along with the blind faith that swept him to power

    Duterte openly advocates killing people with his shoot to kill policy

    What don't you understand about that ?

    http://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/08/08/...ertain-futures


    As Duterte has given the police carte blanche on killing people the police have moved on
    from only murdering so called pushers
    A minor traffic violation and you end up dead


    http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/08/1...ide-police-car

    Is this really the type of police force you want in the Philippines

    It is wrong to kill the scum in full view of the public the way it's being broadcast, children will be affected by all this and grow up thinking it's ok to shoot criminals. There has to be a better way

    As I mentioned before Micheal there was blood on the streets everyday in full public view long before Du30...As I also told you before they had a shoot out near our school and the contents of my Filipino mates son`s head was there for the kids to see on the school crossing that morning..
    My Filipino friend and the neighbours were visited by the Police at the time...Obviously the locals knew who did it but were too afraid to give the old bill information..The father just had to accept the murder of his son and did not say a word to them.
    These liberals schmucks had their chance to tackle drug crime and they did .... all..
    The worm has turned and we all feel much safer then before..

    MANILA — President Duterte is not pleased with the spiralling drug-related killings in the country, according to Malacańang.



    “I think he’s very concerned and, in fact, bothered and troubled,” he added. “He’s deeply and profoundly concerned.”

    Nonetheless, the Palace spokesperson said Duterte recognized the fact that the murders had raised public awareness about the “depth and breadth” of the country’s drug problem.

    Thank you Fred, I understand what you say it's just that I was saying it would be better if another way of dealing with these problems could be found

    We seem to be engaging the 'do as I say and not what I do' here

    We all complain about minority groups trying to change our way of life here, and rightly so, but we're also complaining about what's fair and not fair in the Philippines

    My view is that I'm a visitor, soon to retire person in their country and will live by their rules. If I don't like it then rather than be a moaning foreigner and draw attention to myself, I can leave.

    lunatic? U might need to consider yourself one as you sound to be so affected with Duterte. False promises? Didnt see any as what he has said on his campaign has so far been done and is actually doing well. 911 philippines, drug pushers and users surrendered and is now waiting for rehabilitation, 8888 hotline for any corruption the govt, mining firms banned because of too much mining destorying the nature, farmers problems on water for their crops has been heard and now has plans to give them support on that, our athletes that is in rio now has his full support that he raised their allowances to 3k dollars, filipina captured by the abu sayaff freed before he even took over as the president, laglag bala gang at the naia LONG GONE, attention and support for the wounded soldiers and soldiers fighting in mindanao has been addressed.

    U will be proved right? U might need to rephrase that as that wont happen in a million years.

    Filipinos are sick and tired of being suppressed, of being victims of these illegal drug trades, neglect from the govt for many decades and have you experienced any of that? No. So you have no right whatsoever to judge someone or any filipinos who voted for him because u have never experienced a tiny bit of what we have gone through.

    Deluded? Look at the mirror and you will see one.

    Shoot to kill policy yes if the criminal will fight then they will be killed. I wouldnt risk the lives of the police for a scumbag, why would we?

    Riding in tandem? Are u going to blame that as well to duterte? These people are hired by druglords and pushers who wants to keep their allies schtum forever so they wont report anything to the authorities.

    Not all police are dedicated to their job and that is not just in the philippines but its all over the world. These policemen that are using their power to be little others and kill should be prosecuted and they will be and there has been proofs for that.

    Id rather have the honest policemen live to protect the people from these criminals and continuw to support its family than be in a box being grieved by their family because a low life drug addict or criminal has shot and killed them.

    At least his farts aren't just a lot of hot air, like the promises of so many Heads of State around the world. ... he's "sticking to his guns" (pun intended) and, in time, the nation will be the BETTER of it too.

    Of course Duterte is brutalising the nation with his murderous police force
    A nation where people never get a fair trial they are just simply murdered

    Actually for your information abs/cbn is one of the few media outlets in the Philippines that just does not pay lip service to Durterte and actually DARES to challenge Duterte on his ridiculous mas murder policy

    I don't think that just having news media outlets that just praise Duterte and agree with everything Duterte does is helping anyone and certainly not the Philippine people

    A lunatic dictator who tries to run the country as a one man band needs bringing to book

    Duterte threatens military rule just because he can't have it all his way

    http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story...re-martial-law

    Duterte's list of public officials involved with drugs contained one person who died 8 years ago
    what a complete idiot this man is

    http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story...list/most_read

    Now tell me GMA news is biased as well

    Duterte threatens martial law if 'drug war' is blocked

    Philippine president warns the Supreme Court of a "constitutional war" if the judiciary interferes with his policies.

    "Filipinos are getting killed. I grieve for so many women raped, men killed, infants raped," because of drug addiction, Duterte said.
    "Please do not create a confrontation, a constitutional war, we will all lose."

    Its about time the USA distances itself from this madman also

    Duterte has zero diplomacy skills and enjoys opening his mouth and making unhinged statements
