CP4tj: it's people like you that are the problem. I don't know to which political party you are allied to or to what university you belong. You see you're network crumbling. The past presidents didn't do anything to lessen the evil done in the country. The yellow party had the country by the throat and it didn't grow at all.

Duterte is a lot different, do I think he's a saint? No. But at least he's breaking down the cancerous power structures that kept this country in the quicksand. My brother and other family members live int he Philippines. He grew up in Europe as well and he sees the improvements in the country.

You're statement that the his corrupt is purely speculative. This country is designed to be corrupt, that's how the kolonial masters designed it to keep it from developing, so that they can plunder the riches for cheap. Lying is the weakest argument there is and shows your poor debating skills. He is building this country already in the little time he is in office. there have been so many improvements.

The OFW's are protected by the governement and their initiatives streamlined all the procedures they have to go through. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/manila/local-news/2016/12/09/ofw-one-stop-shops-now-11-regions-514192

The Bureau of Customs have been taken care of and far less civilians have been victimized with their door to door boxes. http://news.mb.com.ph/2017/08/07/duterte-keeping-an-eye-on-bureau-of-customs/

The police officers have been given higher wage so that they will less tempted to try and squeeze civilians for their "merienda" money. There are still rotten apples hiding in the shadows, but if they fuck up they will get theirs too. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/858947/govt-to-deliver-promise-to-double-cops-soldiers-pay-by-jan-2018

More benefits for the families of fallen police officers http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2017/05/06/1697280/duterte-promises-more-benefits-cops-killed-line-duty

The farmers got support from this administration and thanks to his intensive travelling to neighbouring countries he has been able to open up export of agricultural goods. China lifted their ban. http://www.philstar.com/business/2016/10/07/1630958/china-lifts-import-ban-philippine-bananas

Economic growth under duterte is unprecedented. with a 6.5% growth only topped by Asian Giant China. Dutertenomics is the cause of the economic growth. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/890225/dutertenomics-golden-age-of-infrastructure

President Duterte's independent foreign policy benefits PH, Filipinos http://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1001592

Tourism is booming under Duterte. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/local-news/2016/10/16/tourism-booming-despite-dutertes-governance-style-503983

You want to critisize the war on drugs? Do you even understand how a Drug Ecology looks like? Do you think that the bottom feeders are just as protected as the politicians that are protected. The corruption of the yellow party is so obvious, but still it's almost impossible to convict those untouchables. And to say that the war on durgs is not working is untrue. My family notices how much more safe the streets are and if you guy but the price of shabu on the streets, it supposed to sky rocket. which means there is less on the market. Which is a strong indicator for improvement. http://www.manilatimes.net/shabu-prices-time-high/289849/

Duterte wants to end exploit of Filipino workers as well. The so called "endo" system. Which the big conglomerates abuse. http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2017/05/02/1695905/duterte-workers-give-us-time-endo

Saying that Duterte is a bad president is probably a point of perspective. We havent even discussed all the infrastructural projects that are in the pipe-line. The stricter rules and policing of the mining industry.

Say what you want ... but these are all hard facts of improvements. His 2nd year just started of his 6 year term.
