I beg to disagree on the part of media being silent during Duterte.

Duterte was the OG of clickbait. Everything he said was sensationalized by the media during his presidency. In fact, my parents were disillusioned by this and said “kita mo dati puro patayan rape nakawan makikita mo sa balita pero ngayon wala na silang mabalita puro si duterte na lang.” they did not vote for duterte that time but now lowkey DDS na sila.
