If anyone were the world's hardcore leaders? Many people may think that it is Putin, after all, Russian President Putin can say that he wants to choke terrorists to death in the toilet, and he can personally drive a fighter jet to the sky. But what about the second-in-command president? That's presumably Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. This old man can be called the mudslide in the Philippine president, the speech is a middle finger, dirty words, the way to govern the country is one way - to counter violence with violence, just half a year after taking office, he killed more than 6,000 drug dealers, which can be called the Philippine drug dealer's version of the battle royale.
From the perspective of a normal country, Duterte's way of governing is neurotic, but the Filipinos are still quite supportive, which is very puzzling. The reason is also very simple, because compared with the previous 15 presidents, Duterte is already the most normal president, so normal that there are countless Philippine political families who want to kill him, and all kinds of criminals want to promote him.
This place in the Philippines belongs to the temple of the little demon, the pond king eight more, from the founding of the country has a total of 16 presidents, the first 15 are representatives of the Philippine political family, when the president for three things, money, money, and non-stop money. For example, the 10th president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, the speed of this brother's money can make Huang Silang cry, and Yan Song is ashamed of himself, Yan Song has to go around him when he sees it, and he can be called the president of the Philippines who can make money the most.
The presidents above are already like this, then the political families below are not much better, such as the mayor of O'Samimian, Renaldo Palokinog, which is a Philippine political family boss and a big drug lord, as a party mayor open drug trafficking, political corruption is unprecedented.
What about Duterte? This man is really the kind of mudslide that hits the political family directly in the face. Compared with other political families, Duterte is not so rich, can be called the poorest in the political family, the family still has only a double-storey building, and other political families are basically equal to the level of Hanako.
When the children of other political families go to high-end places, Duterte goes the most to the small woods of Davao City, all of which have his legends and youth. To put it simply, this old cannon boy who is now a cross-faced cannon has already fisted with his classmates and participated in fights in various groves.
Strictly speaking, if Duterte had been punching his fists all his life, it is estimated that he would have become the most hated criminal he now. But Duterte had good luck, and after a passionate year of white knives going in and out of red knives, he suddenly got an epiphany at Lysim University, where his political teacher was called José María Sisson.
Few people in China know this, but this old brother is the chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the leader of the Communist Movement in the Philippines, and Duterte has gained an epiphany under his teaching, from a hot-blooded youth with a big fist to a hot-blooded youth who is the boss directly into a hot-blooded youth who is jealous and hateful.
Duterte, as a student of Sison, was probably the worst student, because the only thing the old Filipino gun learned was the barrel of the gun. He became mayor of Davao City in 1986, and he worked hard for 18 years. And what kind of place is Davao City? To be honest, compared with Davao City, Gotham City is a simple folk custom.
Davao City is located in the south of the Philippines, is also the third largest city in the Philippines, with a population of 1.6 million people, but the area is poor and backward, not only has serious religious problems, but also because Davao City is a transportation point, so the goods of drug lords everywhere have to pass through Davao City, making the entire City of Davao smoke miasma, which can be called one of the prototypes of all the crime capitals in superhero comics.
As mentioned earlier, the president and political family of the Philippines are only concerned with making money, so the security situation in the entire Philippines is almost in the late stage of paralysis, even the head is paralyzed, and Davao City is one of the most chaotic cities in the Philippines. Faced with such a mess in Davao City, as a mudslide in the political family, Duterte felt that he could not stand idly by, and he decided to use the most direct means to solve the security problems in Davao City - to promote all the criminals. Yes, as a hardcore old cannon in the Philippines, Duterte decided to double-play as a punisher and directly kill all the criminals.
The Philippine police system is not even as good as the police in Gotham City, after all, the latter still has the ability to catch a group of criminals into the Arkham Asylum, while the police in the Philippines can mostly be eliminated by criminals when they go out, and the police in Davao City are even weaker chickens. Considering that the police under his command are so unreliable, Duterte feels that he can't count on this group of crippled calves, and he feels that it is better to pull up a team to solve the security problem, the so-called "Duterte death squad". As for solving the problem of crime, it is also very simple, shooting at criminals first and then speaking, and directly raising criminals is better than anything.
Under Duterte's governance model, the security environment in Davao City has been restored at an alarming rate, of course, because the criminals have all been killed by him. The criminals who fell into his hands and were shot were already the most dignified ending, because his trial was the lightest and had to be shot, and if it was serious, it had to be dragged out and thrown into the river to feed the fish, and if the case was serious, it was thrown directly from the helicopter and thrown to death, and the most heinous crime was directly thrown into the pit and buried alive. And Duterte didn't just let his men go, this old Filipino gunman rode on his motorcycle every night, carrying an M-16 automatic rifle on his back to patrol the streets.
Some people may think that this Duterte is a tyrant, but this is obviously a wrong understanding, because The city of Davao under Duterte's rule has developed rapidly, not only criminals have to go around Davao City, but Davao City has also changed from a criminal paradise to a city with the first security in the Philippines, which was very difficult in the Philippines before 2016. High public security in exchange for foreign investment, because this is simply the most suitable place for investment in the Philippines, even more than the Philippine capital Manila, so that the economy of Davao City has greatly improved.
When Duterte was in charge of Davao City, Davao City was thriving, but the Philippines was getting worse every day, the crime rate was getting higher every day, and in 2015, there were even 44 SWAT officers who were completely annihilated by drug lords. Duterte felt he needed to take on greater responsibility, and he had to tackle crime and drugs in the Philippines, along with corruption.
In his speech, the hard-core old cannon declared that he would eradicate the corruption and crime that had spread in the Philippines within 6 months, and he declared war on the powerful and criminals throughout the Philippines, telling the other side to kill him quickly, otherwise he would have to throw them into Manila Bay to feed the fish.
Duterte made good on his promise when he took office, launching a purge program against criminals, especially drug dealers. His approach, in the style of his davao city, ordered the police and civilians to execute drug dealers and drug addicts at will, not only without legal liability, but also receiving government bonuses.
Since then, gunfire has been heard all over the Philippines, drug dealers have been killed in the streets by the military police and people who have been "bitter for a long time", and even "bounty hunters" who specialize in hunting down drug dealers have appeared. Drug dealers killed 20,000 people in a year, and 680,000 criminals turned themselves in to the government. And Duterte not only dealt with these small fish and shrimp, but also the black and white all-you-can-eat political families were also promoted by him, such as the Reynaldo Palocinog, who was directly killed by the military police.
epilogue
It is difficult to say whether Duterte is right to do so, and such extrajudicial enforcement is certainly not advisable from a normal point of view, but for the Philippines, which is suffering from crime and drugs, perhaps this quick-cut approach is the only option, at least the Philippines' current crime rate has dropped significantly.
Compared with the previous 15 presidents, Duterte, who is willing to take to the streets for the sake of security and patrol, at the expense of offending the political family, will certainly be able to gain the trust of Filipinos. Maybe Duterte will be retaliated against when he leaves office, and maybe the Philippines will become a crime-ridden country again, but Filipinos will certainly remember this hard-core old cannon and the efforts made to eradicate crime and drugs.
