As a guy from philippines. Duterte is one of the Phil presidents who isnt controlled by any other organizations or even oligarchs. he moves on his by his own and does what he thinks is helpful. It's too early to tell if he is good or not enough but we need to wait more of his plans.
That's what I thought also. He makes moves that won't concern any organizations and will do it for the people. Of course there would be a lot of people who would try to bribe him, like the Mighty corporation trying to bribe him. I see some changes from the previous government and it has positive changes.

Total corruption is a 21st century disaster in all countries. And I'm already 100% convinced that as the president manages the country and officials work. It is not necessary to think that the Philippines, at home, as elsewhere.
Previously, corruption was a major issue even in the developed nations. But now, it is quite rare in these nations. The same can happen in the Philippines as well. As the country prospers and the people get more educated, the corruption will vanish.
Oh, I can only just wish. There need to be a cultural change in this country. People has gotten used to patronage that they'll just shrug their shoulders and look the other way when they see corruption happening.
It seem to be a widespread problem, even garbage collectors have gotten used to asking people for coins (which they shouldn't, unless you're asking them to take something like an entire sofa). Internet made it easier to catch culprits now but many people wouldn't take risks.
Those corruption were already there before duterte became president. The only thing right now is that itcis being revailed and unlike before where everything is being hidden because of the political support. Worsen? Lol you are not in the Philippines why not come here and experience living before saying
Duterte is similar to Trump. He is trying quite hard to fulfill his campaign promises. But it is not going to happen overnight. Eradicating corruption from a country such as the Philippines can take many years, if not decades.
Wrong duterte actually is very far from trump. Suck media. Here we are actually experience the result of his actions. More corrupt politicians or governemnt bodies were penalized. Lesser drug addicts you wont be more afraid of going out at night and he will not also order a bombing into other countries lol
DRUGS are just a vehicle for people's distress. The real problem with pinoy land is the rampant poverty which fuels the corruption and drug taking. He's nothing more than a murderer and a stupid leader. If he focused on poverty things would get better. Without addressing that glaring issue things will stay the same. He can kill a million people it wouldn't change things.
Drugs is an excused of course. Even if you are poor it doesn't mean that you would go and sell drugs. Murderer? Seriously? Where are rhose federal judges from UN who keeps on saying that they will fill a case against him. They cant even provide a single evidence how much more of you?

Like I have been saying Deterte isn't solving anything he's only making things worse for his people.
He needs to tackle poverty and joblessness not go around killing sick people. What a psycho. This guy makes Trump look like Mother Teresa.

I think not, we don't know what duterte's on his mind right now, and we also don't know what's he is really planning. I don't think also that the President didn't solve anything, when it comes to drugs syndicate and criminality there is a big changes happened when Duterte's sitted as president, and more over in some other ways of problems even corruption He also solved it, it may note b 100% but there is being solved less than year he is sitted as president of the Philippines.

Its the cops again. I guess that statement power corrupts is true.
Human Rights officials found a bunch of undocumented prisoners being hidden in a narrow room behind a book case. The victims claim they were being held by the cops in order to extort money from them.
The cops say they were arrested for bring part of the drug war. So why not just kill them then? What do you think? How can this problem be solved?

The people need to stand up to these criminals and remove them from power. Jail the cops for kidnapping and extortion. Send the message Duterte otherwise we're gonna think ur in on this as well.

Even before Duterte sits on the seat of Presidency in the Republic of the Philippines that trend of money extortion was already been in placed and has been occurring for a long time already. If this kind of cops will not be punished under the law many will follow them and abuse their police power. Hope the government will make or conduct fast investigation and punish those who have violated the law.
I don't agree with you. Duterte not like Trump. Imagine what would have happened in America if Trump has tried to fight drug addiction methods of shooting drug dealers? Duterte banal dictator. He has no weight in the world but in his country he is trying to show its strength. I would compare it with Kim Jong-UN.
I don’t know much about politics in the Philippines, but I don’t think he compares to Kim Jong Un. In fact, I don’t think anybody in modern history (other than Hitler, Stalin, Castro and other similar dictators) would compare to Kim Jong Un. If he was elected than I don't think he is like Kim Jong UN.

Just leave the pinoys alone. Either duterte will be killed by the pinoys or vice versa.
Anyway good for the world population
The only thing i really fear is when pinoys start to mass emigrate and flee from duterte.
There is a huge number of people infected with TBC and a part of them is immune to standard meditation.
We should build a huge wall around them before the world gets rekt...

Oh hi, how is your immigration policy going? Can't really determine if you're American or European based on previous comments from you. In case you're the latter, good luck. If the former, good luck building a wall on the sea. It's more likely that China would have the Philippines block entry into Asia to stop Americans meddling with them. Go get a map and look at it.
Now back to America's wall. I wonder what would have been a better use of that money. And can't American's build it themselves? Why ask Mexico to pay for it, can't they afford it? Even if it does go up, Mexico will not spend a single peso on it. They are not required to.
Oh and by the way, I live in a low-income neighborhood and I don't see people with tuberculosis here. You're more like to catch an STD from a tourist.
I advise you to stop taking shabu while drinking the duterte/pinoy are the best kool aid.
What i wrote about TBC is fact. We already got a discussion about it on this board with enough evidence supporting said fact.
Thanks for worrying about us in europe but most of us are still driving a car, having a big house and a safe job - and on top of that nobody of my family was rapped yet (hello mark).
Nobody cares about pinoys sucking chinese dick.
It will just be funny when your chinese overlords decide to have buttsex lol
Don't mistake me for a Duterte fanatic, I want to have nothing with them. They can drink their red Kool Aid all they want. Shabu? Oh you meant meth right? Nah, I won't buy those Chinese-made drugs. I won't worry about getting anal raped by the Chinese, they're quite satisfied with Duterte. Besides it probably won't hurt.
Also, did you just call me by my first name? Did you go out of your way to track me?

Philippines need someone who is not afraid to take concrete steps such as Duterte. In Western nations, you can just educate the people and expect them to refrain from drugs and crime. It doesn't work like that in the developing nations.
It seems to me that corruption is the main problem of mankind, and not of individual countries. To some extent this problem exists everywhere. But it is impossible to eradicate it, because corrupt officials themselves and they do not find themselves.
No country is corruption free, but you can always eliminate the corrupted officials/law enforcement and get a much less corrupted country.And eliminating the corrupted officials is so damn hard to do,
But I hope in the future we could live and see some country to be free from corruption it seems hard but I still think that we could do it.
I guess Its not. The current administration stop the corruption. The philippine president is too busy in dealing corruption in his country and in dealing illegal drugs. The current news you have spoken is not totally corruption because he fire those who involve in corruptiob as the philippine president promise to his countrymen.
Illegal detention and money making machines, and sooner or later the next candidate to Mercy killing by the police. That is not a good way to clean the streets. It just makes things worst and probably would make his popularity rating fall more.
They can only do that on ordinary drug users and pushers. Until now they can't catch a big fish, its like curing a disease without finding the real cause of the problem.

Based on my opinion, corruption will never be eradicated, Corruption will always exist in any country. Human nature will emerge when they are tempted by strong temptations, and money is the most severe temptation for humans. The nature of greed and dissatisfaction will often arise when humans are faced with temptation, self-control is necessary.
I would agreed in your statement, as long as there is an officials in the government who are greed, corruption will always be there and never be disappear and can never be resolve because the problem was inside the government officials. 
Corruption become a culture in the Philippines. It started by the Spaniards. The Spaniards descendants control most of the land of the Philippines and Chinese descendants control most of the Trade. The real Filipino is on the lowest on the society or working abroad as slaves. The only way to stop the corruption is to distribute the land and stop monopolies of the spaniards/american/chinese descandants.
Even if we assume that all the land handed out as you suggest that this will change? Do you think that will earn her money? Where will you sell your products? On the world market artificially low prices for agricultural products. You will be a slave in the land which belongs to you.At least it is more fair starting point. At least they can grow their own food and land to build their own house. Lots of things will change. My family have 35+ hectares of land. I can say our life is more easier than those who don't.
