    Totoo ba yung DDS? O myth lang yun?

    How can they confirm if guilty talaga? Eh prior to arrest kill na agad.

    Unless caught in the act.

    try walking around at night in davao city. It is very safe compared to having a stroll in the dark places in metro manila.

    On the positive side, Duterte has the political will to make things happen. Hindi rin siya trapo unlike most politicos.

    Duterte taunts HRW: Admits ties with DDS

    Duterte even warned HRW to prepare of more deaths if ever he becomes the president of the republic.

    He said that the thousand killed could easily rise to 100,000 and make Manila Bay a dumping ground of criminal corpses -

    His daughter was once Mayor and he was Vice-Mayor of the city. She punched a court sheriff who was serving a writ of execution and eviction on live television and was not punished by her father for it. It was direct assault, plain and simple so that she and her father can look good with the squatters.

    Hindi yun pagka-trapo?

    Tell me what kind of water the people of Davao are drinking?

    It's different here. Intimidation. Threats. These are tools of a small town politician. It will only get you so far until people become unafraid of you.

    There's simply no telling at what lengths Duterte can go to without going down the slippery slope of authoritarianism in the name of good governance.

    what the country needs is a dictator! we cannot compare duterte to marcos.. marcos is a genius and duterte is just a simple thug.

    what we need is a leader like lee kwan yew who is a dictator but loves his country so much..

    its such a shame we are in this situation now left behind by our neighbors were we should have been the first and pioneer in almost anything after WWII.

    we wanted freedom but not responsibility and discipline.

    OT every dictator loves his country. adolf hitler loved his country. juan peron loved his country. benito mussolini loved his country. ferdinand marcos loved his country. but, no, lee kuan yew was not a dictator, however political scientists called his brand of leadership as democratic or socialist dictatorship. there is no such thing. you cannot mix oil and water. lee kuan yew was a strong leader but never dictatorial. during his entire tenure as PM of Singapore their parliament was vibrant and functioning. he had a high regard for the rule of law. for example, the banning of bubble gum was a proposal from one of his ministers in 1983 but at that time he found it too drastic. it was only in 1987 when Singapore introduced the MRT system that vandals were sticking chewing gums on MRTs door sensors. thus, parliament enacted a statute banning it. in other words, the ban was not made thru his own fiat but issued by their law making body. if he were a dictator he could have easily done than that. marcos abolished congress and had his own presidential decrees.
    as a strong leader, lee did not succumb to US pressure when they caned Michael Fay who was found guilty of vandalism. he said to Clinton: “We cane our own people, how can we not cane an American?” he also clamped down on corruption real hard, and he enforced the law on corruption against anybody who violated it: no sacred cow. that is the kind of leader we need, not another dictator. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely, according to Lord Acton.

    BTT with his admission of complicity with DDS, then what are we waiting for, madam?

    Talk to Singaporean businessmen about corruption. The system isn't as clean as people perceive it to be. But compared to ours, it's much much better.
